This is lovely David, great street scene

Another great piece. Love the details and the colors.

Both Edinburgh pieces are nice

A lovely watercolour! The colours you've used are just as I remember Edinburgh when I visited there last year. Infact, that might be me enjoying a glass or two :)

Thanks to all of you for your comments, much appreciated.

Again one of your great street scenes, David. I love the whole atmosphere and the colours! Well done!!

A4 Winsor & Newton 425 gsm Gummed Water Colour Paper. Directly behind, and far, far below Edinburgh Castle, lies the Grassmarket - a small open space that has played an important role in Edinburgh's history. As the name implies, the Grassmarket used to be where local farmers brought their hay and other produce for sale. But it was also the location of one of the main gallows in the city and crowds would flock in huge numbers to see the public executions. The last Drop Tavern is located immediately next to the scene of public hangings which took place there back in the 18th century. It is named aptly after its sinister location. Reputedly ghosts in the cellar have been heard to call out the names of staff in the bar when they are working alone. Staff are not advised to say alone behind the bar... In summer it’s nice to sit outside and enjoy a glass or two of Whisky whilst enjoying haggis with neeps and tatties.
