Stuart Nisbett Scottish lead guitarist to play Dunbar Music Festival with The Countess of Fife
A sunlit scene of an old blue upholstered wing chair sitting on a doorstep (stoop) planted up with dozens of pretty little succulant plants and cactus. They embellish the chair like jewels. 2 large spikey aloes dominate the seat. Another planter of similar plants sits to the right and front with a simple carved head painted white, protruding on a stick. Its long white hair perhaps made of string or straw. Its eyes, one blue. Picasso like... uneven. Full pouty lips. A huge and strikingly blue planter (with more aloes in it) and a brown wicker armchair behind the wingchair give it definition. Parlour palms, a piece of trellis, glass side windows, brass plate, and wrought iron railings typical of architecture in Edinburgh's Newtown provide an opulent backdrop
A close shot of a Sycamore bud, popped into clusters of little, starry, vivid-yellow flowers speaks, nay screams, "Spring!" A glossy, unpopped brown bud waits left of shot. Photographed beside the Water of Leith
A view of the Charlotte Chapel clock tower on Edinburgh's Shandwick place, taken from upstairs on a passing bus. Zoom in to the clock where 'the big hand' has clearly timed out, curled over, and it droops wearily down over its face
Close detail of gilded pub signage saying Wines, Spirits on an amber coloured wooden pub front. Inset in two partially visible, ornate wooden arches are some obviously aged lead framed, stained glass window panels. The carved amber wood that surrounds the windows is eyecatching
A glimpse over four spikey tips of Princes Street Gardens' wrought iron railings, across the trampled mudscape left in the wake of the Edinburgh Christmas market and the rooftop of Waverly train station to the huge City Art Centre signage beyond
A cormorant on a rock in the Water of Leith. Basking in the sun against an urban backdrop of railings and litter, it casts a perfect reflection on the surface of the river
A laptop screen showing a close headshot of the colourful Fay Fife, waving her hands in the air, looking surprised and delighted that she was able to join a zoom meeting at the first attempt.
View from Gorgie Road Edinburgh. Repairs underway to the river bank on the far side of the Water of Leith at Saughton Park. The sky is pale blue on a frosty day. 3 men in orange hi-vis waterproofs stand on the river bed working to divert water so they can repair the collapsed bank behind them. A huge yellow crane crooked into an 'A' shape, stands above them in the park
A detail of a large snowflake style christmas decoration. It was made from the pages of a book illustrated with colourful pictures. The picture shows the detail of 5 of 16 sections, cut out, folded, then glued together, then opened out to form a circle. The decoration casts an interesting shadow in the background
A puff of steam left in the wake of Edinburgh's Polar Express steam train hovers over the train tracks. The train was faster than my ability to get my camera out of my bag 😉
Edinburgh bar styled on a 50s diner. Booths. Red leather benches, red formica tables with flecks of glitter in them. Chrome, neon, cocktails, spirits, milkshakes and burgers. Black and white harlequin lino and mirrors. And decorations. Lots of Christmas decorations. Bustling, busy. Happy chatter
Low lighting plays across a close shot of two book ends standing on a glass table. The book ends are made with slim metal panels which have zombie silhouettes cut out of them. The cut outs are still attached to the end panels by their hands and feet. The cutouts have been pushed out to reinforce the book ends. The effect is a danse macabre
Marker pen graffiti on a bus shelter window reads, "your mum cant even cook".
A close shot of a square greetings card I designed called Twa Dugs. The silhouettes of two whippets sitting upright fill the foreground. They gaze across each other into the distance. An expanse of gold sand curves diagonally across the picture left to right, creating a shoreline where bright blue sea and sky meet above it. To the left, right, and in between the two main dogs, 3 more tiny whippets run outstretched along the golden shore line, silhouetted against the blue. Above them, a wispy white cloud streaks the bright blue sky
Detail of a tattooist's shop window on Portobello High Street nr Edinburgh. Varied typography reads, Tattoo (bold blocky red and gold font all in caps) Portobello in a gold italic script. Under that, red text on a yellow banner says Edinburgh's Seaside Tattooist in caps. To the left, a small banner says, This is the place (also in caps). Next to this is a hand pointing right towards the entrance. A tattooed female figure in a blue dress with a red sash and a matching turban appears to fly across a cloud dominating the centerof the window. Her arms outstretched behind her in a swallow dive.
A close shot of the graceful curve of an Ediburgh tenement staircase. A glimpse of traditional iron handrails topped with patinated hardwood is in shot on the right, and light floods the stairwell at the bottom.
A brass doorhandle of a restaurants glazed door. The door is painted green. Street foliage is reflected in the glass. The door handle is shaped like a hand with an ornate cuff around its wrist, and it is grasping a door knob

A smiling Fay Fife leans on a table covered in a red and white gingham cloth. She wears a black beret, pink cardigan and black and white print top. She is looking at the bbc alba recording of her show at Belladrum Music Festival on her laptop
