These three flags caught my eye as I walked up the mound in Edinburgh this morning. The building is home to HBOS and also one of Edinburgh’s more recent museums, the Museum on the Mound.
Free to enter and with a number of interesting bank related exhibits it’s a great place to take the kids, plus you can see what a million pounds in cash looks like.
This is the HBoS (formally Bank of Scotland) headquarters which stands high above Princes Street Gardens on The Mound. I took my Derwent pastel pencils/crayons with me today to add some colour.
It was a little messy but I like the effect you can achieve by adding a lighter colour on top of a darker one. Blending the two. I will stick with the pastels for a while as I could of spent all day experimenting, if only I had the time.
