About This Image

On my second visit to Edinburgh, I arrived early in the morning and although the hotel would hold my bags I couldn’t check in until afternoon. I hadn’t slept for 24 hours but the weather was incredibly beautiful so in a moment of questionable sanity, I decided I was going to make the hike up Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood Park, which is part of the amazing landscape pictured here.

Arthur’s seat is the craggy remains of an ancient volcano. You can see the distinctive columnar rocks known as Samson’s Ribs on the left hand side of this print.

Although I was very tired when I set off for Holyrood Park, I’m so glad I took the meandering path to the top of Arthur’s Seat, there were many great views of the city and unique and beautiful Scottish landscape, as seen here.

I took several photos of the landscape at this spot on the trail. The early morning light was really special. That sunlight cast a great gold glow across the land below. Instead of the midst of a city, it looks like some primordial earth far from human occupation.  Of all the pictures I took here, this print is my favorite, with a couple silhouetted in the golden light while stopping on their way up Arthur’s Seat to admire the view.

These people provide an anchor the scene, they put the landscape of Holyrood Park into perspective and they bring their own life to this picture. I expected my favorite views to be of the city of Edinburgh unfolding below from the top of Arthur’s Seat, but this pause for the view only a short way up is my personal favorite photo from my hike in Holyrood Park.

Note: Holyrood Park is listed with Historic Scotland owing to not only modern history but prehistoric occupation of this ancient landscape.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
