Peebles Old Parish Church

Its all in the title. This isn’t just an ordinary Church Spire. I am told its a copy of the Spire at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Its possibly my most popular image to date out here in the real world. Made the Redbubble Home Page on the 29th of August 2008. Many thanks & best wishes from Robin; that’s me!!

    Its a newer version Cynthia. Tweaked a little!! XX

  • Robin Brown

    Robin Brown in reply to cynthiab’s comment, 13 days ago

    Oh & there’s actually no sky in the shot at all. The bit behind the church is actually a hill. There’s cattle & sheep on the hill. But you might not see that unless you seen an actual print. Now if you find yourself in Peebles Cynthia. Pop into Tatlers Cafe. They’re now selling my framed pictures. XX
