And the award for the most beautiful venue of the “Uncle Vincent” tour has to go to Dunbar’s Harbour Chapel!
One more performance of this beautiful play by @rebekahking.bsky.social tonight in Smailholm Village Hall.
Hopefully we’ll be taking Vincent on the road again next year though 🌻

Stunning retrospective of Everlyn Nicodemus‘s work at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art just now.
I love the chutzpah of her going to the National Museum of Tanzania and demanding they mount an exhibition of her work only six months after she’d started painting!

Coming soon to Channel 4! Join me for Ottoman Empire by Train - a 5-part series where I explore the fascinating, expansive, turbulent history of this empire. I can promise beautiful architecture, bloody battles, medieval magnificence, plenty of trains and, of course, Turkish delight.

Happy 1st of December. Today, a 🧵 of Scottish women worthy of statues. Statues memorialise in a specific way. They honour achievement. First, Jennie Lee, MP and founder of the Open University. The work she did as Arts Minister was transformative. Also = Mrs Aneurin Bevan. /1

Excellent exhibition of work by the late great John Byrne at The Fine Arts Society in Edinburgh just now.
It seems like anything he turned his hand to he excelled at, in his own quirky and unique way.
Fitting and fun tribute to one of my favourite artists.
It’s on til Christmas, catch it if you can!

Just cried my eyes out watching “Blitz”.
A beautifully made, but at times tough to watch film. (though from the director of “12 Years a Slave” I wouldn’t expect any less!)

He’s on tour, so catch him if you get the chance.

There’s a stonking selection of Old Master drawings on display at the RSA at the moment, from the collection at Chatsworth.
Rubens, Rembrandt, Holbein, Durer and many others.
But my favourite was this beautiful drawing of a horse by Anthony van Dyck.
