Peebles Old Parish Church
Its all in the title. This isn’t just an ordinary Church Spire. I am told its a copy of the Spire at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. This is actually what I would consider the most prominant landmarks in Peebles. Peebles is a small Scottish Borders Town which lies about 20 miles south west of Edinburgh. Its possibly my most popular image to date out here in the real world. Made the Redbubble Home Page on the 29th of August 2008. Many thanks & best wishes from Robin; that’s me!!
Milestone reached, 1000 views. Thank you all kindly; Mum & Dad too. Reached on the 2nd of Oct 2008

I know I have already commented on this one but is a beauty the mist the sky great shot Robin
Robin Brown in reply to cynthiab’s comment
Its a newer version Cynthia. Tweaked a little!! XX
Robin Brown in reply to cynthiab’s comment
Oh & there’s actually no sky in the shot at all. The bit behind the church is actually a hill. There’s cattle & sheep on the hill. But you might not see that unless you seen an actual print. Now if you find yourself in Peebles Cynthia. Pop into Tatlers Cafe. They’re now selling my framed pictures. XX
cynthiab

Robin Brown in reply to cynthiab’s comment
Infamous I think is the term used in Peebles. XX
