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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

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 📷

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... 🎶 🦊

#SpellSongs #Edinburgh #LiveMusic #LostWords
Stage at Usher Hall just before Spell Songs show. Banners with Jackie Morris artwork from Lost Words books. Edinburgh Castle on a sunny day.

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...

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.

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.

Wanting interesting interviews with nae waffle (and no repetitive podcast endorsements)? This series on BBC Sounds has some great talk. So far I've enjoyed Kirsty Young with @irvinewelsh.bsky.social , Daniel Kaluuya, Steve Coogan and Naomi Klein 📻 #youngagain
