I live just along a bit from here and its a nice half hour wander with a pint at the end, and those views are amazing. Seals are often seen from the window seats and they also have outdoor seating overlooking the bay between Granton and Newhaven.
An impressive tower, which isn’t alone in it’s beauty.

Last night I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at the new major retrospective of Peter Howson’s paintings, at the City Art Centre Museums & Galleries Edinburgh
It’s an amazing opportunity to see so many of his works together over four floors, showing graphic and emotional pieces which see the world as it is now, not once was. I will be back and recommend it too, on from Saturday until October as part of Edinburgh Art Festival .
Inside today but what a view, have you eaten here?

There is a new bright and colourful addition to Morningside Road on the corner of Springvalley Gardens. Gift shop and Edinburgh destination Paper Tiger has been selling beautifully designed, unique and quirky gifts and stationary from the West End since 1981, and has now opened its third store in Morningside’s busy shopping district.
I remember visiting their West End shop, spending ages looking around the basement full of wonder and creativity. And I was so glad to become a stockist there when EdinburghSketcher took over my full time work almost ten years ago.
Now I am equally excited to have my gift cards and other printed items in Morningside. It is great news to see a local business doing well and I look forward to sketching more scenes of the Southside for the new shop.
I have often looked over the wall when walking into the Modern One gallery and thought what a beautiful scene. The statue rising above the grave stones is perfectly framed by various foliage of the encroaching trees that surround Dean Cemetery.
I finally found time to sketch the view and use it in my WhereArtI Quiz. I thought it would be an easy one but didn’t have many correct answers, it just shows you know what you know and can easily think everyone knows your views of Edinburgh.
Be sure to look left next time you visit the modern art gallery and I will be seeking out new views, there must be many such as this I have yet to discover in this beautiful city.

I enjoyed a weekend walk through Cammo Estate yesterday, my first time to this lovely oasis of nature just off Queensferry Road.
I am trying to remember to take more videos of my work and make them into wee reels to show a little of the process in my work so below is a few highlights of our walk and the resulting sketch made at home.
And thanks for the interesting and informative signs from the Friends of Cammo group, they told of some of the history of the land and what plant life we should be looking for.
A corner tower hidden away, but do you recognise it?
