Vennel, Edinburgh. Oil Painting

Edinburgh Castle is the capital's ornate centrepiece: a beautiful yet imposing fortress perched upon a rugged hunk of volcanic rock. No matter where you are in the city, the castle rises up above the horizon to meet your gaze. 

The Vennel, from the French for 'little street', offers arguably the best view of the castle.  It's on these steps that visitors report the most breath-taking view of Edinburgh Castle anywhere in the city.

Oil on canvas (11"x14").  Original painting by Stuart Dickson.
