Can you tell me where I have sketched?
Do you recognise this Edinburgh winding street?
Leave your answer in the comment box below.
Your comment will not show up until I reveal the answer. Closing time for entering is midnight tonight and I will pick a random winner from all correct entries by this time tomorrow.
This week’s prize is a screen printed tea towel featuring the Edinburgh Skyline and Edinburgh Castle.
Keep an eye on my facebook and twitter feeds for clues if they are needed later today, and remember you can also see my weekly competition in the printed version of the Edinburgh Evening News each Monday.
Keep looking up and noticing the beauty in the everyday, you never know where I will be sketching next!
My Edinburgh sketched merchandise is available on my Etsy shop and although I am fully booked for Christmas commissions there are plenty of Edinburgh prints available.

This is Coburg Street in Leith, once home to the Melrose Tea Company and now the Multi-Cultural Family Base. H. Ormston wins this week’s prize of an EdinburghSketcher tea towel. More next week online and in the Edinburgh Evening News.

Looks a bit like the General Assembly Building at the Mound.

Coburg Street. Didn’t recognise it at first because I mostly travel it in the opposite direction to the view.
COBURG street, Leith
Coburg Street
It’s Coburg Street. Which makes it a Leith winding street rather than an Edinburgh one.
This is the building on the corner of Couper Street and Coburg Street in Leith where Andrew Melrose Ltd had their offices/warehouse/factory. The best tea in Scotland passed through those gates once upon a time.
My father worked in the offices to the right of the door(s) from his teenage years until his 65th birthday. So of course, this building played an important part during my formative years.
