These massive yellow pylons started to appear on the dockside in Leith from February 2026. They are part of the Inch Cape wind farm project being installed off the Angus coast. As a water user, the visual landscape changes constantly and as an addition to the industrial architecture of the docklands, these have been fascinating to observe. Depending on the weather in any given hour, they can appear gargantuan, tiny, distant and near. This work will form part of the ECA technicians exhibition 2026.
Fighting against this unworldly creature, Leith Athletic Football Club are standing strong and protecting their community. Will they survive and save the day?
Yellow Geometries
by Sirui Zhang
To me, the Yellow Towers are not simply architectural structures, but a composition of yellow geometric lines within the landscape. When I look at them, the surrounding sea and clouds also begin to appear geometric — becoming circles, semicircles, triangles and rectangles.
I wanted to reconstruct this way of seeing through Adobe Illustrator, reducing the towers and their surrounding landscape into a series of simple geometric forms. I changed the original blue sky to purple, the complementary colour of yellow, to create a stronger contrast and deliberately shift the image away from the original landscape. Through this colour transformation, I wanted to reimagine the visual impression of the towers as I perceive them.

I personally enjoyed these creations, and my client got me extra interested. Had fun creating a design on her nails , looking at different views of the yellow towers , night time view on one hand, daytime on the other.
I know them as *my* towers! All my friends know how much I love them and always ask if I've been to see my towers today.
I go on runs most days around Wardie bay and Newhaven, I remember one very chilly winter morning seeing a massive boat holding some rather odd looking tubes, so I ran along platnum point (which I call the jutty outy bit) to have a closer look. Since then I run along the jutty outy bit every week to see what new bits and bobs they've brought to the port for the offshore wind farm. My uncle used to work on offshore windfarms so has been explaining to me what each new piece is for. The towers certainly are the most impressive of the lot! A few weeks ago I got one tattooed to remember them forever. The tattoo was designed and done by Homer Loves Marge, an artist based in Glasgow.
