I was delighted to be asked to design the book cover for this new collection celebrating the Edinburgh poet Robert Fergusson!. Fergusson was born between two Edinburgh closes which no longer exist, so for this design I combined the familiar skyline with imaginary/invented closes.

. In the foreground I have drawn Calton Hill, and if you look closely you'll see the Democracy Cairn (bottom right-hand corner) burning bright. It stands in tribute to those who campaigned for Scottish self-determination. Persevere!. Prints: 2/2

🌙 My new illustration of Edinburgh, set at night beneath the moon. It was partly inspired by the 18th century poet Robert Fergusson who wrote of the city: ‘Auld Reikie, wale o' ilka town / That Scotland kens beneath the moon!’. 1/2

Writing about Scotland's Democracy Cairn on Calton Hill for my upcoming newsletter, and came across these wonderful photos from the 1990s of it being built! The Cairn celebrates the campaign for a Scottish Parliament. 📷 Jill Turnbull, Scottish Political Archive collection.
