Last night I had a dream that I lived in the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh - on the top floor cos there's a fab terrace with a view from one of the reading rooms. In the dream I woke up because people had broken into the library at night. Furious, I went to see what was going on /1

Time for a THREAD of amazing Scottish island women to brighten #ThursdayMorning. 1st, Bessie Williamson, the only woman to own & manage a whisky distillery in the 20th century: Laphroaig on Islay. She was known for giving jobs when people were down on their luck. Such a queen. /1

Can we take a moment to celebrate this train. 9167 will cross 4 countries this evening and dive beneath the sea on its way from Amsterdam to London. We took over from our Dutch colleagues in Brussels. It's quite simply Europe on rails, and it makes me very proud indeed. 😊

#TwinningTuesday: Dundee-Würzburg Twinning Association (DWTA) have helped set up a library of German books at local secondary Grove Academy - a fantastic example of how twinning & schools can work together! The school is now preparing for their next visit to Germany in March.

Storm Eowyn has come and gone, leaving its mark across the city in the form of damaged buildings, property, and felled trees. But down in Pollok Park it also revealed this piece of buried treasure to follower Sumac Macd.

Lovely turn of phrase quoted by my teacher Mairead: a somewhat inebriated fiddler, staring blearily at a stave black with notes, announcing "I'm no playing that. There's too many speugies on that fence."

Royal Exchange Square in Central Glasgow was looking particularly spectacular as the sun was going down this evening. And as always, at the centre of it all was the Duke wearing his customary headgear. #glasgow #royalexchangesquare #goma #lights #glasgowbuildings #architecture #nightphotography

We've got a new Gaelic Christmas film on the block, and though I say so myself, it's rather good! Featuring an original translation and 32 native Tiree Gaelic speakers, it's the perfect viewing for the Night Before Christmas 🎄 https://buff.ly/3ZPRbwz

Message from Magdeburg hospital - rough translation - When the first victims came, our employees - from over 20 countries - showed up… There’s no place here for hate … without our immigrant colleagues, we would have to close immediately … we couldn’t have helped the adults and kids who needed us

I've been watching a Red Squirrel hanging onto a bird feeder for dear life during today's gale. (That's the North Atlantic behind).

Gorgeous, almost cinematic, shot by my daughter - with migrating geese and circling ravens above the Main river in Würzburg, with the fortress Marienburg. Sound on!

The last few times I've driven over to the village shop, a tame Robin has flown up and stands, either on my wing mirror or as happened today, on the side of the car. This taken through the closed window. Mr. Carter, I'm Ready for My Close-Up...
