Studio Something said: “We’ve always been based in Leith from when Jordan and Ian found their first office in Tolbooth Wynd on their lunch break, to moving to the oldest building in Leith (St Ninian’s Manse).

"We live here, work here and have dreamt up our ideas in coffee shops and bars all around the area (Carrier Quarter’s pies are the best inspiration fuel).

"Ian’s grandma even used to swim in Leith docks - which we can’t imagine happening no

"But, this past year has been a bad one for so many people.

"With many feeling forgotten about, isolated and the inequality in society being more obvious than ever before.

“So we wanted to create and donate something for our local community that helped lift spirits.

"Adapting a lyric from Sunshine on Leith we have crafted a positive message to let everyone in the community know that we are all worth something.

"We hope you like it and remember; you are all worth your room on this earth.”
