Views from Broughty Castle Museum yesterday, looking along the Tay towards Dundee and along the beach towards Angus and just up at the beautiful blue sky 🌞

Very few folk turned out to protest about immigration in Dundee today but there were lots of us there to counter them just in case. We were a strong friendly crowd, singing and chanting all afternoon, reclaiming the saltire and welcoming refugees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

*Stand with New Dundonians - Refugees are Welcome Here!*

So many people are getting in touch asking if they can get back copies of Friday's paper

The answer is no ... we are completely sold out. Everywhere.

You can order a poster version here though!

Did a section of the Dundee Green Circular on Saturday (about 12 miles anticlockwise, on foot not bike) as part of my #KiltwalkDundee prep. Lots to see along the Dighty Burn and beyond 📷

Recent reading/listening. Somethings old, something new(ish), something borrowed etc.

I've switched to @libro.fm for audio, still using Libby app for free ones too.

Tree songs for @cerysmatthews.bsky.social
How about 'Niel Gow's Apprentice' by the marvellous Michael Marra? Mentions 'the fiddle tree' in Dunkeld (Burns used Gow's tunes..). Others have released versions of Marra's song (incl. Fairport Convention).

With so much negativity in the world it was many happy breaths of positivity to finally witness the Spell Songs project live on stage at the weekend. Beautiful music, lovely people, all the good tears. And "let the raven call you home" to fade... 🎶 🦊

Just back from a lovely trip up north. Beautiful views of Kyle of Sutherland (from house and riverbank/river), a dip in Loch Shin and more sun than we knew what to do with...

Was reminded today of all the 4-line poems (mostly political in content) that I wrote for the other place. I put them all together in a post a while back:

Finished reading this today. One of those wow books - just reading it made me tired, can't imagine writing such a thing. First published in 2018, I don't know I missed it up till now, especially when, according to the quotes, everyone else in the world has read it already.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social according to no 19 in this list from Rolling Stone, it was someone else who brought in that whistle... I don't know which is fact and which fiction:

Interesting to hear some Byron on this week's #Paradise

A few years back my partner @markonline.bsky.social made this track using the same poem (vocal by @josephmillson.bsky.social ):

Fine music in B Ferry, Dundee yesterday. Hannah Read, Michael Starkey and Cahalen Morrison kept us spellbound with old-time sounds, originals and covers.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social 'The Fungi Sessions Vol 1' is inspired by fungi and her father mycologist Nick Read 🍄 Made for you 😊

Didn't know the Dundee Tapestry was back on display at V & A Dundee but it is 😁
Also Orkney (and other places) featured in A Fragile Correspondence.
Both exhibitions are free, no paid exhibition currently.
