New images online of Edinburgh projects

There is a step change in quality of new photos on the website due to purchase of a Panasonic FX-01 Lumix 28/14m camera with Leica lense, thanks to advice from architect Al Cook. All pages on the website have also been reformatted over the last 3 months to a central 500pixel wide table format to work with wide screen monitors. Due to the birth of e-architect.co.uk - to take the expanding information received over the years, and to allow the resource to grow - thousands of links have been added or revised. To give an idea of the size of e-architect there are 18,000 links on the site compared to 12,000 & 19,000 on the Glasgow & Edinburgh sites respectively. The e-architect site will bring a new audience to Scottish architecture which I'm sure will be broadly welcomed. Comments on these changes welcome, also any broken links not picked up by my software and manual checks. Adrian Welch 090906
