A bonnie design with blue and white saltire flag colours making up the sign of Scotland, backed up with the cheery toast "Here's tae us! Wha's like us?", and the response, "Gey few and they're aw deid!" A fantastic birthday, Hogmanay, New Years Day, St Andrews Day, or Christmas gift that will bring a smile to the faces of any ex-pat scots abroad, or for grandsons and granddaughters with some Scots ancestry in their bones!

In Scotland a person can be "brand new" or anything really good can be described that way. A wonderful Scottish phrase to describe something or someone great.

The 80s Scottish duo!

This one is for fans of seriously good fiction. The Oxford Bar on the corner of Young Street and Young Street South Lane in the New Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland. The name of the bar will be familiar to fans of the Scottish fiction writer Ian Rankin as it is the favoured pub of his Inspector Rebus character in the long running Rebus series of books and and also in the TV series. In reality of course, the Oxford Bar has long been one of a handful of Edinburgh watering holes favoured by Scottish writers and artists since the 19th century including Ian Rankin himself.

My walk took me further away from the heart of the New Town, past Scotland Street, and Broughton Street, down to an area of secret parks and gardens and streets that seem to have fallen off the grand design, ending suddenly in a wall of railings and trees. A certain austerity creeps in, a Scottish solidity, pure and simple and strong. I admire this block of flats, built of large chunks of stone, with high windows and high ceilings. I marvel at the softness of the colours on the interior walls, little triangles seen from the street. The sky too is pure, blue, deep, cool. I wanted to capture that light, and the golden colours. This work is rich in detail and realism. It is an ideal gift, and a perfect addition to any collection of Scottish...

Simply Scottish - Happy Hogmanay - celebrate New Year.

The ruin of Carriden Old Church at Carriden, Bon'ess, Falkirk District, Scotland. Carriden Old Church was built in 1766 to replace the medieval church adjacent to Carriden House. It is T-shaped in plan and finished in simple Georgian style. An aedicule was attached to the north side of the building in 1771 to protect the monument to Sir William Maxwell of Carriden. A tower with a spire and a session house were added around 1840. When the new church was opened in 1909 the roof was taken off the old one and it is now a picturesque ruin.

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.

Looking down over Princes Street Gardens and the shops along Princess Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. The Royal Scots Greys Statue (soldier on horseback) can be seen opposite the bottom of Frederick Street. Continuing up Frederick Street, we come to the Statue of William Pitt the younger, at the junction of George Street and Frederick Street. In the distance can be seen the River Forth and beyond it the Kingdom of Fife. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix Pro. BEST VIEWED LARGER

Lang may yer lum reek a Hogmanay or New Years toast in Scotland to someone's long life and happiness. Effectively translates as: 'long may your chimney smoke'.

It is a clear day, perfect for exploring the outer reaches of Edinburgh's New Town. A warm feeling of belonging, of familiarity bred over decades of visits, since childhood. The incline is steep, and the way meanders, passing opulent and classical buildings. In summer the air is rich with pollen, in winter a tang of wood smoke and a chill that invigorates. I admire the intricate and uniform construction of the buildings, golden and classical.
