No.20 - North Queensferry High St
No.19 - Crescent moon behind Glengyle Terrace spirey top flat on Bruntsfield Links
No.18 - Cruisey evening view of the Forth with one cruise ship anchored and another one cruising away and drawing light through my frame.
No.17 - the castle at the Year of the Rabbit celebrations in 2023
No.16 - classic Calton Hill view of the city centre with some match on at Murrayfield way in the background
No.15 - Long view of Edinburgh and Arthur’s Seat from East Lothian - strong Michael Rosen/Helen Oxenbury ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” vibe with this family.
No.16 - green midsummer view of the castle from St Cuthbert’s Kirkyard
No.15 - pishin it doon in the East End
No.14 - full moon over Edinburgh roofs
No.13 - down in St Cuthbert’s kirkyard during the Beast from the East winter storm looking up at St John’s on the corner of Princes St & Lothian Rd.
No.12 - precise stance to get the three bridges lined up just right
No.11 - this was taken so long ago that the perma-scaffolding on George IV bridge was barely a dream in the future
No.10 - another classic Calton view - thisn time a long exposure to creamify the clouds
No.9 - a summer view of one of Calton Hill’s trees and the “summit” trig point with the small but perfect profile of Inchmickery island on the far left.
No.8 - a bookmark crop of Old College - I have no idea of my logic for doing this
No.7 - summer sunset on the Links with Ye Olde Golf Tavern and Barclay Viewforth Kirk
No.6 - blue twilight over the red bridge
No.5 - jeepers that Kirk is poking itself in all over the place - looking down Barclay Place towards the dark and brooding castle
No.4 - same castle different night, with a nearly full moon
No.3 - tough luck if you don’t like the moon, this time behind Paisley High Kirk
No.2 - there used to be a ferryman would row you across at Cramond if you rang the bell - his wee cottage sits in the Dalmeny Estate on the other side.
No.1 - toot toot, wee train on the original and best Forth Bridge
That’s all folks.
I’ll be doing a round-up of March images in the next couple of days.
Maybe see you out there.

Very much liking this set, a number are very cinematic, No19 the Adam's Family, or is it the Munsters? No's 14, 13 & 3 Batman, and finally for me the three bridges just a perfect image!
