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. This is actually what I would consider the most prominant landmark in Peebles. Peebles is a small Scottish Borders Town which lies about 20 miles south west of 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!!
Milestone reached, 1000 views. Thank you all kindly; Mum & Dad too. Reached on the 2nd of Oct 2008
As featured on the front cover of the Church of Scotland’s 2010 Diary. Many thanks for that honour.
2000 hits reached 30/08/09, Think Catriona Hamilton was the person who reached that landmark which is pretty fitting as she’s from Peebles.
Also available as a Christmas Card!!

The church spire makes a wonderful mark on the skyline Robin and I very much like the almost misty atmosphere softening the tones in the distance, that warm toned sky is the icing on the cake, easy to appreciate why the image has proved so popular, it’s simply beautiful,
Regards, Rod.
Robin Brown replied
Cheers Rod. There’s very little sky in the shot but its hard to see the detail on Redbubble. There’s a hill/mountain in the background & you can see sheep & cattle on the hill. Or at least on the prints I have at home you can. Many thanks for checking it out!!
