Watercolour of famous Edinburgh Pub in the Grassmarket

Watercolour

I am old enough to remember the Grassmarket as dark, insalubrious, filled with the ghostly magic of times past. It is different now, lighter, brighter, cleaner. Where smoky pubs once stood, figures nebulous behind frosted glass, there are a plethora of smart cafés and bars, throngs of visitors and the clinking of wine glasses. Still, it is a place of great historical significance, a feeling of wonder as we look up at the castle, erstwhile fortress, dungeon and palace all at once. From all angles history infuses the air, with the spirit of bodysnatchers, Covenanters, witchery and the hangman’s rope. The work is full of colour, of summer heat, and is a wonderful souvenir of Edinburgh, a lovely gift for a home.

Brown's Place, built about 1820, in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a charming Georgian Square tucked away off the Grassmarket, halfway up the Vennel steps. The Vennel steps link Lauriston Place and the Grassmarket. The word "Vennel" derives from the French word "Venelle" (little street). The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix Pro. Camera: Canon EOS 450D.

Night time in Grassmarket, Edinburgh.

The Flodden Wall, a defensive structure built around Edinburgh, Scotland after the disastrous Battle of Flodden (1513), in which King James IV was killed. The construction was a response to threatened English invasion after a war started by James in support of the French and the Auld Alliance. Although construction continued into the middle of the 16th-century, the hurriedly-conceived project offered little protection when the Protector Somerset sacked Edinburgh during the Rough Wooing. Its main effect, before being dismantled from the middle of the 17th-century, was to restrict the southern development of Edinburgh's Old Town.
