Dean Village Edinburgh by jacqi
Less than 10 minutes walk from the noisy traffic and hustle and bustle of Princes Street Edinburgh, the Water of Leith winds its way through this quiet little valley and Dean village. It’s a different world of peace and tranquility with birds singing and wild flowers by the waterside.

Cliftonhall Bridge from the West – Edinburgh’s Union Canal I though this looked more effective in sepia tones (I have just started playing about with different colourings to see what works best). Featured in the Anything Edinburgh Group on 11th March 2009

The Vennel - Edinburgh by Chris Clark
The Vennel runs down the hill beside George Heriot’s school running towards the north into the Grassmarket, opposite Edinburgh Castle. Taken on Sunday 11th November 2007 Extract from the Scots Language Centre “vennel n. a narrow alley or lane between houses” 21st May 2007 Vennel occurs in street-names throughout much of Scotland, including the Glasgow Vennel in Irvine, the Boat Vennel in Ayr, Friars Vennel in Dumfries, Northgate Vennel in Peebles and The Vennel in Edinburgh. The word derives from French venelle, meaning ‘little street’, and is found in Scots texts from the fifteenth century onwards. In the Charters of the City of Edinburgh, there are references to ‘the comon venale callit Sanct Leonardis wynde’ (1439) and in the Calendar of Writs preserved at Yester House, we find mention of ‘a venelle called Leichwynd’ (1471). / The Dictionary of the Scots Language www.dsl.ac.uk provides a variety of quotations relating to Scotland’s vennels. The records of Perth Kirk Session for 1583-4 tell of one Walter Bog, who was ‘accused of cursing and biting of his mother-in-law … in the common vennell’. The Burgh Records of Glasgow for 1577 note the complaint that ‘the skynnaris wennal is sa hoikit (full of holes) that na persoun may pas’, and the Burgh Records of Edinburgh for 1674 note that ‘the vennalls and closes within the said burgh shall not … be obstructed … with the … building of any foir (front) stairs’. From the Burgh Records of Aberdeen, we also learn of the ruling ‘that the back gettis and vennellis be all closed’ in order to maintain ‘better defence of the town’. / Matters relating to the building, design and uses of vennels frequently appear in historical records, but they also feature in the modern day. As recently as April this year, in a discussion of a new housing development, The Berwickshire Advertiser reported: ‘the building control committee asked that the design of the vennels between the house units be reconsidered so that they are closed rather than open … in order to avoid problems created by wind blowing through the gaps between the buildings in adverse weather conditions’.

Normally I simply delete T-shirt designs to make way fow newer designs but I decided there’s a better way. I have reduced my mark up by 15% all the way down to just 5%. That’s correct a saving of 15% before I delete selected designs to make way for new designs. / I could simply list which designs have been reduced but a better option is to get people into the shop for a good rumage through looking for a bargain. / All the reduced designs will be deleted in a few weeks & the designs will be deleted from my computer. Now is the time to buy the old stock before its too late. / Hurry folks this offer wont last for ever!!
