For these few days in October, between major exhibitions, there is an opportunity to see some of the work of the Edinburgh-based artist Richard Demarco.  The exhibition includes about 150 examples of his work, ranging from original watercolours and sketches (since 1947) to modern prints (2004) of some of his earlier images.

Many of the views are of scenes no longer to be found in Edinburgh including Leith Docks, Murrayfield Railway Station and Granton.
