Popular Edinburgh pub recreated in miniature by talented Scots artist

A talented artist has recreated a popular pub in the Leith neighbourhood of Edinburgh thanks to a commission from a regular customer.

Karen, an art school graduate from Glasgow, was commissioned by pub regular Bill McNie to recreate the Dreadnought Pub in Edinburgh as a gift to owner Toby.

The artist, whose other creations include miniatures of Glasgow landmarks, such as the Barrowlands and the Garage nightclub, visited the pub before beginning her work, and had to tweak a few things before delivering the gift alongside Bill this week.
