Mews II

Edinburgh still has a medieval skyline of cathedrals and castles. We have no skyscrapers, infact you're lucky to find a building over 6 storeys. Randolph Place looks like it could be a small hamlet in Lancashire circa 1850 (motor car excluded!). In fact it's a stones throw from Princes Street - where people update mobile phone contracts and drink starbucks.

I'm always drawn (sorry) to Mews buildings probably because of their stocky, child-like proportions. Often backing onto larger streets and used as stables, they now contain creative agencies or have become residential. If you're finding it difficult to contain yourself, there's an earlier drawing of a mews here.
