Lucky enough to be at the opening of this exhibition at Queen's Gallery, Holyrood Palace. Fascinating overview of photographic techniques over the last century. Would have benefitted from more photographs in Scotland and some imagery or artefacts of the cameras they used at the time

One of the benefits of working in a multidisciplinary museum is that I occasionally indulge my passion for baking. Dinosaur cakes this time 🎂 🤩

Sad day yesterday at the funeral of Gordon Maxwell, but I count myself as fortunate to have worked closely with him over a number of years and learnt a huge amount which led to my PhD research and publications

Spent yesterday afternoon taking three 16 year old round the National Museums Scotland discussing the aspects of the galleries which cover their Higher History topics. I learnt a lot too, especially about 19th century migration & role of Scots in Canadian fur trade #museum #History
