Nicola Sturgeon Must Resign SNP Scottish National Party Leader

I Detest The Tories and Everything They Stand For

From an original engraving Cassell's history of England circa 1898. Info from wiki: The Battle of Bannockburn (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Allt nam Bànag, often mistakenly called Blàr Allt a' Bhonnaich; 24 June 1314) was a significant Scottish victory in the First War of Scottish Independence, and a landmark in Scottish history. Stirling Castle, a Scots royal fortress, occupied by the English, was under siege by the Scottish army. The English king, Edward II, assembled a formidable force to relieve it. This attempt failed, and his army was defeated in a pitched battle by a smaller army commanded by the King of Scots, Robert the Bruce. The defeat of the English opened up the north of England to Scottish raids[10] and allowed the Scottish i...

A mysterious passage of light and shadow, thick solid stone, a greenish tint, gold tarnished perhaps. A cloister for gowned advocates perhaps, a place for ghostly footsteps by night, perhaps the very souls of the hanged and the damned in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town, or perhaps a reminder of a time when Scotland’s capital was the Athens of the north. I was fascinated by the neat shapes of light. I wanted to capture the moment. A lovely souvenir of Scotland. A great gift.

This is a Scotland Love t shirt design with bold text art, makes a great gift for any pride scottish person.

A small Highland house, perhaps also a state of mind. Tranquility, escape, beauty, solitude. Thick solid, stone walls, painted white, a wooden door, a chimney ready for the roaring fire of a cold night. But today is warm, the sky cloudless and the hills purple with fragrant heather. The woods beckon too, with their promise of shade, scented with pine and moss. This work is rich in colour and detail, a lovely souvenir of the Scottish Highlands and a great gift.

Activist Design for a Free Independent Scotland with Scottish Flag Saor Alba.

As the afternoon reaches its peak, the golden Edinburgh stone radiates magic, a bewitching magic that mesmerizes us and fills us with longing. A rare treat indeed is such a day of summer, a day when we can walk in our shirtsleeves and feel the gentle caress of heat. Above, a wide, blue Scottish sky, and from far, far beyond the city, comes the scent of the mountains, fresh and floral. I linger in the stillness of this crescent, memories of yesteryear my only companion. A perfectly symmetrical row of houses, jewels of Georgian design, havens of timeless beauty in the city. This work is rich in light, full of satisfying detail and fresh, vivid colour. A perfect gift an ideal souvenir of Scotland’s splendid capital city.

A short street, near my grandmother’s old home, a place of shadow and light. The light of an early Scottish evening, soft, as though the flesh of peaches and apricots, turning the stone golden in places, brown in others, like caramel. Mature trees cast their webs of dappled shade, muting the hum of traffic on the Queensferry Road. I loved the play of light, the windows, triangles of dark and colour. This work is a wonderful souvenir of Edinburgh.

This square work depicts architecture in Edinburgh’s New Town, a place I have grown up with, dipping in and out, visits, periods of residence, and in daydreams and memories. Hot, Scottish summers of childhood, tea and buttery scones in venues long gone, errands run, books bought, and buses caught. There is an Athenian timelessness about it, a sense of history and high culture that permeates the sandstone and rock, that whispers from patches of shadow and coolth. Snippets of life, from decades past, and yet Edinburgh remains constant, timeless and beautiful. A great souvenir of Scotland, a perfect gift.

Who cannot fall in love with Tobermory? The cheer of painted houses set the tone. The romance of the islands beckons, scented with pine, moss, and heather. The promise of pots of strong tea and buttery scones, of sweaty walks in the rain, of dark mountains and romantic waterfalls. The small town feels like a gateway, a Scottish icon too. The work is full of colour and makes a lovely souvenir of Scotland, a great gift, a great addition to any collection.

A quiet morning stroll in Edinburgh, as glorious sun captures the tops of the Scottish Baronial buildings. The streets are mine, private, to share only with my shadow and footsteps. I smell freshly ground coffee, baking, the tang of the sea, and the scent of Edinburgh waking up. A distant rumble of traffic, the impatient hoot of a train from beyond the limit of the long since vanished walls. I wanted to capture the way the light and colours play with each other, the brightness of the sky, and the delicious coolth of the street.

A View of the High Kirk of Edinburgh

A favourite spot of Edinburgh, a row of purple-hued tenements hugging the edge of the Meadows, their shape and colour accentuated by the late afternoon sky, filled with pink swirls, clouds of marshmallow, candy floss and Turkish Delight. The sky and trees remind me of the western fringes of Scotland, where the air is scented with brine and seaweed and pine, a place of magic, of Celtic sorcery. As with most corners of Edinburgh there are jolts of memory too, of student parties decades ago, in large drawing room flats, wooden floors bedecked with threadbare imitation Persian rugs, old armchairs in garret windows with tantalizing views. The painting is rich in colour, in splashes of realism and detail, and with elements of texture too. A pe...

A special place, laden with memory. I remember coming here as a child, peeking at the marble counters, at the macabre dead fish, their eyes glazed, silent and still. Scottish voices, banter and jokes, packages of brown paper, the smell of fish. Later my mother would cook the orange-coloured fish in milk, served with a poached egg. Little has changed, the floors, the walls, a link to my past. I was struck by the light too, the way it bounced off the wall, angular, cheering.
