The Edinburgh Art Book showcases one of the most beautiful cities in the world through the eyes of its artists.

There is so much to wonder at in this lovely book. Its enthusiasm reveals a passion for both contemporary art and the lovely city of Edinburgh and it will renew memories and inspire visits and revisits to all its haunts.

The Edinburgh Art Book is a pocket-sized gallery of the city''s incredible treasures, and a charming, colourful homage to Edinburgh''s iconic monuments and most beautiful spots, as seen through the eyes of its artists. There is even a map in the book to encourage you to walk around the city and see how the artists have interpreted the buildings and the sites that inspired them. Some of the treasures picture include:

- Affectionate depictions of the Royal Mile and The Mound and quirky images of lofty monuments that will raise a smile.

- Childhood memories evoked by the fun and colourful images of the seaside at Portobello and sledges in the snow at Warrander Park.

- Intimate portraits of shady corners in Stockbridge and sunlit alleys in Circus Lane

These are the streets of my childhood revealed and adorned by the city's very own artists in a wonderful variety of colour and style.
