Hi, I’m Tom Kelly, an urban wildlife photographer based in Edinburgh.

Go Wild in Edinburgh began as a way to aid my recovery following knee surgery in 2019. Today, it showcases the surprising diversity of wildlife that thrives in Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians, showing that extraordinary wildlife can be found right on our doorstep.

My photos have been used in many articles for local and national newspapers, magazines and websites. They have also appeared on TV programmes such as BBC Winterwatch.  The Scottish Government, the City of Edinburgh Council, BBC Scotland, Scottish Wildlife Trust, The Water of Leith Conservation Trust, The Scots Magazine, VisitScotland & Nature Scot, to name some of the more high profile organisations, have also used my photos for their websites, blogposts, reports, promotions & social media.

Please also check out my NEWS – LATEST PHOTOS section for my monthly blog and latest monthly videos.

VISIT MY EXHIBITION

I’m delighted to have an exhibition of 45 framed wildlife photographs on display at the Water of Leith Visitor Centre on Lanark Road, Edinburgh.

The exhibition features a selection of my favourite urban wildlife images captured along the Water of Leith and is free to visit. I’d encourage you to stop for a tea or coffee in the visitor centre café, where every purchase helps support the valuable conservation and education work of the Water of Leith Conservation Trust.  The Visitor Centre is open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm (Monday–Sunday).

BUY PRINTS

Prints are available for purchase & I have a large selection, in a variety of sizes & finishes.  They start at under a fiver for a 6″ x 4″ print and you can find these on my Scottish wildlife website – www.tomkelly.co.uk

…& Finally

I do hope these photos encourage you to take a wander (& a camera) around Edinburgh & the Lothians’ green spaces & waterways & be more aware of the wildlife around us.

You, too, could Go Wild In Edinburgh

Thanks for checking out the site – Tom
