Mons Meg - Ink and Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
(Another one to remind Rene of Edinburgh)
This large cannon, or “Bombard” sits proudly in Edinburgh Castle. It was built in 1449 near Mons in Wallonia then gifted to the Scottish King James 2nd. The “Meg” is thought to be named after “Margaret of Denmark - King James 3rd’s wife”. They knew how to flatter women in those days. Mons Meg weighs over 15,000 lbs (7,000kg), is 15ft long ( 4.5m) and fires round projectiles 20″ dia (500mm) weighing 400lbs (180kg). Its her heyday she could only be fired about 8 times a day as the build up of heat was huge. The range was around 2 miles. The carriage is not original - this a replacement built in 1835.
To all potential invaders - beware. She probably still works. Forget modern weaponry - Whar’s yer laser guided bombs noo?

Klaer Lodge
My husband and I hosted a joint birthday celebration at an old stone lodge in a nearby state park. It was wonderful to just ‘get away’ for a few days, be disconnected from e-mail and phones and enjoy the company of friends around bonfires. The entire place is built of locally-quarried stone and the covered eating/grill/fire pit area in the front of the building featured this gigantic bell that I couldn’t resist sketching one evening.

Just pencil. Experimenting with “Shorty” without sharpening lead, drawing with sides, while listening to House music. Few dots of red. Tents.

Its Festival Time - Ink and Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
Another Edinburgh Festival draws to a close. The Festival started after WW2 and has grown into, arguably, the largest arts festival globally. Although it is known as “The Edinburgh Festival” there are, actually, many different gatherings. The whole of the city is transformed for three weeks and its population increases dramatically. WE are lucky, staying on the outskirts of Edinburgh, as we can pick and choose when to visit but it can be a bit wearing for folks who live and work in the town.
This is a view of East Prince’s Street Gardens, lit up with powerful lights to highlight the Scott Monument. This was a bit of a challenge but I think I’ve managed to convey the general mood.
