9 of Edinburgh's most recognisable signs all painted by the same master craftsman

Signs are one of those things that should really be staring you in the face, but often go unnoticed.

And when one sign does grab your attention, it’s rare that you think about the craftsman behind it.

So we thought we would compile a collection of masterpieces created by Edinburgh signwriter Thomas Hatch-Robertson, known as ‘Tatch’ by his friends, who has certainly got around the Capital.

Some will be familiar, others less so, but all deserve to be noticed if they haven’t been so already!
