Angles to see and to touch on the Mound

A grey day in the city but a walk through the centre inspired this sketch from the Mound. Loving the angles of perspective here and I have always wanted to draw this wonderful 3D map of Edinburgh.

This bronze 3D map by sculptor David Westby was I believe made for visually impaired people to ‘see the city through touch’ and was commissioned by the council and Marks and Spencers.

I love to see young children feeling their way around the streets, just like our two did when they were wee.
