We are off up north of the border soon for the Royal Highland Show. It’s not quite in the highlands, being close to Edinburgh, but we are looking forward to it non the less.  Luckily we have a few Scottish pictures to adorn our stand - Edinburgh - globe and spiral Glasgow - globe and spiral  and a few football grounds - Tynecastle, Easter Road, Firhill, Celtic Park and Ibrox.  We are also hopeful that our picture of Golf Courses in GB and Ireland does well seeing as a fair few of them are in the home of golf!

Still I thought it appropriate to be reminded of him, as I know  how important he is to them - so here’s a photo of Colin...

As I write Manchester City are top of the premier league with Arsenal and Liverpool managing to lose at home over the weekend.It’s small comfort to a fan of the Gunners or The Reds but, on our league table of 'most popular prints', Man City are sixth in the league behind Anfield, St James Park, Elland Road, Old Trafford and Highbury/Emirates. Both our Anfield and Old Trafford pictures have been redrawn in the last few months. Anfield to take account of the new stand and Old Trafford because we thought it needed bit of a makeover (bit like the real ground). We’ve also...
