Remembering record label owner, TV presenter, nightclub manager and music impresario Tony Wilson (1950-2007), born #OTD in Pendleton, Salford. Nicknamed ‘Mr Manchester’ for his work in promoting the city’s culture. (Mural by Akse).

Sitting down to watch the final of #TheTraitors with a glass of this from @northernmonk.bsky.social

Moving stuff from the garden this evening before #stormeowyn does it for me

Seems I missed #squirrelappreciationday yesterday

The story of #ThomasTelford the most famous Scottish Civil Engineer of the 18th/19th century as told by #AlexanderGibb one of the most famous of the 20th……… A fascinating read

Off roaders are as big a menace as nighthawks. Illegal off-roaders damage prehistoric site 🏺 #Archaeology #Prehistory www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wandered past #thelawman today #ripdenis

Still a need for #Permagrips on the morning dog walk. Only £19.99 from Timpson’s

The Outsiders touring exhibition on homelessness and substandard housing is now open at @stalbansmuseums.bsky.social. Please spread the word and visit if you can. St Albans is only 25 minutes from St Pancras and this is the only opportunity to see it in the South of England.

Great news for Scotland! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Afternoon’s are getting longer…….

Sunrise over the North of Scotland Trauma Centre this morning

What a difference a couple of days makes…… and the breeze is distinctly warm

2024 daily temperatures compared to past years. A frightening graphic from the BBC. #ClimateEmergency

Training our next generation of critical care & ED clinicians focused echocardiography today……. great to see the future of the speciality is in such great hands

Love the way my bank asks “Could this be a scam” when I try to pay my HMRC Self-assessment bill. It certainly feels like it

TEAM LYNX, GOOOOOOOO LYNX!

Stephen from the Outsiders project. He died soon afterwards aged only 39. As the cold sets in it is worth remembering that someone homeless dies on the streets in Britain every six hours. As a society we are defined by how we treat those less fortunate than ourselves.

The Astronomy Professors who live in Portobello Edinburgh have been having a lovely time today looking at the crescent #Moon, #Venus and #Saturn. If you've got clear skies, do take a look up to the South. You might also catch a shooting star as the Quadrantids meteor shower is peaking! 🔭🧪

Our work at East Lomond featured in a Guardian article on community volunteering! Big shout out to all our volunteers who work alongside us and our students on various projects. In the case of East Lomond many thanks to Falkland Stewardship Trust www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Sad to hear that #JimmyCarter has died. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Arctic Terns travel the equivalent of three trips to the moon in their lifetimes. We don’t want to live in a Scotland without these incredible seabirds. Tell the Scottish Government how important it is to act now: https://action.rspb.org.uk/page/154240/action/1?ea.tracking.id=RSPB_Scotland_Bluesky

A kettle of red kites over Garlogie this afternoon…….sadly didn’t have big camera with me
