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?

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.

A stone tower with a spiral stair links Market Street with North Bridge above. This stairway is open to the public, but for over a hundred years was the most direct way from the Scotsman building on North Bridge to the rear entrance to Waverley Station. (The Scotsman is now produced in a modern building near the Scottish Parliament, down at the foot of the Royal Mile.) For other photos of Waverley station Regrettably, the smell most associated with this stairway is urine or disinfectant or a sickening combination of both: for decades, men have used it as a urinal.

My good friend and Celt Ossian kindly let me take some photographs of him wearing a traditional plaid. We lived on the Isle of Mull together for nearly 5 years. The castle in the background is Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, where Ossian worked for a time . I decided to upload this image today in honour of being awarded Image of the Week by the group ‘The Scots are Coming’ .

A newsagents shop on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. I love the blue paintwork.

This photo was taken in Prague just before the International Friendly football/soccer match between Czech Republic and Scotland. Unfortunately we lost 3-1…...hey ho. This image captures the fact that women can never resist peeking at a man in a kilt. I’ve cropped this image heavily and tried being a little artistic in PS to create a card size image. Feedback would be great as this type of work is way outside my comfort zone.

Lettering as used by the London and North Eastern Railway on their famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ steam locomotive. Also has the engine’s famous number, and its place of building: Doncaster Works. Perfect for steam engine enthusiasts, especially on a green shirt (to match the engine’s paint job)

This shot is taken from the North Bridge entrance to the Scotsman Building (once the headquarters for the Scotsman newspaper, but now the 5 star Scotsman Hotel). Looking past the City Art Centre on the left, to the Bank of Scotland Building with its distinctive green dome. Situated on the Mound, the former Bank of Scotland headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS, has dominated the northern flank of Edinburgh’s Old Town for 300 years. The Bank of Scotland Building is an Historic Scotland Category A Listed Building (HB Number 28263). Behind the Bank of Scotland Building you can see a small part of the magnificent Edinburgh Castle on top of the rock. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city of Edinburgh like no other castle in Scotland, and Edinburgh Castle is unequalled in the whole of the British Isles. Over one thousand years of history sit on top of the famous Edinburgh rock.

This is a sight that could not have been seen in steam days on Britain’s railways, an Eastern Region Gresley A1 Pacific on the hallowed metals of the Western Region-—-——-unthinkable, but this is 1974 when the World’s most famous locomotive “Flying Scotsman” paid a visit to the privately preserved Paignton-Kingswear branch line. Nevertheless it makes a fine sight in the later British Railways Brunswick Green livery and fitted with German-type smoke deflectors, currently it sports LNER Apple Green and the smoke deflectors have been removed. In the background across the River Dart lies Dartmouth, the town with a railway station but no trains, but that’s another story. An oil painting like this on board or canvas 20”x30” of your favourite railway subject, British, American or even French, would cost from £1000. E-mail me on mike@transportartist.co.uk

This is an old water colour by a,G.l Fairweather in 1914. On the back of the frame it has. / Dimond Bros.,Rundle,Street,Gougar Street and Arcade, Adelaide.It will be an antique in 5 years time. I just wondered if anyone knows anything about this Watercolour??? I found it about 20 years ago in a second hand shop . It won’t be worth much in money terms but it would be nice to know a wee bit more about this Scotsman Golfer. / Alex.Scottish CLICK HERE PS. I must add being a purist scot at heart ,that “Scotchmen” would be too drunk to knock ” L” out of anything. I presume he meant Scotsmen Who dinny touch the blidy stuff. Never touches their lips!The Alud Yin.

Another attempt at something a little bit different for me. I generally stick to colour, but I thought I would try converting a few of my images into mono. The original colour version is below (click on the colour image to view it properly). This shot is taken from the North Bridge entrance to the Scotsman Building (once the headquarters for the Scotsman newspaper, but now the 5 star Scotsman Hotel).
