Edinburgh's Holyrood Park has been shaped by over 8,000 years of human use, with traces of Iron Age forts and Bronze Age agricultural terraces still visible on the slopes 🌄
On 25 January, dig into the archaeology of the site with Historic Environment Scotland: www.digitscotland.com/events/parka...

Doesn't this ceiling look quite like St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen?!
I was asked why there would be a labyrinth in a church. They are nothing new. Dating back to the 4th century they became a more widespread feature in churches and cathedrals during the Middle Ages, particularly in Italy and Northern France: The practice peaked with large, elaborate floor

Contrary to popular belief, Whitby was never chiefly a fishing port, but a place of significant maritime consequence. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries its shipyards and fleet were deeply engaged in especially European trade, bringing the town notable prosperity. Favoured 1/3

Although epiphany falls on the 6th January, it will have been celebrated in churches up and down the country today. It is a good excuse for a Brueghel painting. In this case Adoration of the Kings in the Snow, Pieter Brueghel the Elder ( - 1569). This 1597 painting It
