The works of Scott included writing about the Scotland of the past. Nowadays, the monument serves as a backdrop to the stories that happen in the busy streets of Edinburgh City Centre now, from the bustle of Christmas markets and festival fireworks to the reflective reverence of the gardens of remembrance. You’d wonder what stories they would write about now?
The monuments permanence in the changing landscape of the city centre reminds us that somethings change, and others stay the same. Change happens because we as humans need to reach for the next thing, we can’t stay always the same. So, by remembering that change is our natural state, it can make the future less daunting.
This work is professionally framed and mounted to a finished size of 10.5 by 14.5 inches, ready for hanging. Use the contact me button below if you’ve questions about this.
