The Isle of Skye lies of the West Coast of Scotland. I was sitting on top of a cliff on the Island at 4am with my Border Collie and Camera by my side, just dreaming till day break when i spotted the light over what I call the Lower Isles breaking through the early morning clouds. My dreams had come true.

One of my first shots taken a DSLR, shot two years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the G8 Summit – which explains the large amount of “Save The World!”-pins on his jacket! Some months later, I got a note from a fellow photographer on deviantART.com, linking me to a picture he shot himself – of the very same man. It’s a small world, isn’t it?

7am on a winters morning in January 2006. I drove into the street where I worked to find lots of people looking in the direction of the city with their point and shoot cameras, I glanced up in the direction they were looking and the sky was ablaze. I was late into the office because it was a photo oportunity that seldom comes along, out with the tripod, switch camera to remote, set up the exposures and fire away. Totaly awesome and well worth the telling off for being late for work. Who cares when you get a shot like this.

Edinburgh Castle Collection / THE ROSS FOUNTAIN The Ross Fountain was installed in West Princes Street Gardens in 1872. It was cast near Paris, France in the Durenne ironworks in the early 1860’s. It was an exhibit in the Great Exhibition in London in 1862 and was purchased for Edinburgh by Daniel Ross a local gun maker and philanthropist. It was transported to Leith and arrived in September 1872 in 122 pieces and after great dileberation as to where to put it, it was finally assembled in its current location, where it has remained ever since. The gold coloured iron structure shows a standing naked woman at the top surrounded by four more seated naked nymphettes representing the arts, science, poetry and industry. Below the first tier are a collection of mermaids. The celebration of the naked female is typical of classical French design, but it wasn’t appreciated by everyone, Dean Ramsay (1793 – 1872) whose church, St. John’s was near by called the fountain “grossly indecent and disgusting” The flow of water was disrupted by broken pipework and was dry for over five years until in 2001 a partnership with The City of Edinburgh Council and East of Scotland Water / carried out repairs and allowed the fountain to be displayed in it’s full working glory. The Ross fountain is now a ‘B’ listed structure of historic importance. extracted from Princes-Street.com

Taken from Calton Hill looking across to the Bridges and below is Market Street. The very large building is the old Scotsman newspaper buildings but has now been changed into a 5 star hotel. When I first viewed the finished work I was not so sure about it, but then it started to grow on me and gave me the impression of and old vintage style postcard. Since 2006 this image has become a pretty good seller on the stretch canvas.

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’.
