Welcome to my yearly round up of sketches from the Scottish capital. Looking back there have been a few milestones within the city that I have captured over the year. What stands out significantly in my sketches this year is the representation of the seasons and the colours around Edinburgh more than previously. I hope you enjoy my look back at 2023. You can visit EdinburghSketcher.com online to see more of my daily sketches of our beautiful city.

9. Tramlines in Leith
This year also saw the trams heading down Leith Walk and along to Newhaven. Those silvery tracks help show perspective and depth in this sketch as the Fingal hotel seems to be floating along Ocean Drive. Photo: Mark Kirkham
A spontaneous capture of colour here. On a morning walk to Inverleith Park I passed a postbox which was covered in golden leaves and I just had to stop and sketch it against the greens of the park behind. Photo: Mark Kirkham
