Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Now I can understand Scotland’s dismal failure at the World Cup. It wasn’t failure - It was simply a pre-emptive boycott because of the Balogun affair. All is forgiven! 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 26/06/2026A wonderful Joan Eardley exhibition at Modern Two in Edinburgh happily featuring favourite painting of hers. Really interesting section on her photography that I knew nothing about, but is obviously superb. Only on till Sunday 28th June. 001
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Lovely to sit in the sun and realise that there is now no way Scotland can fail to win the World Cup. It’s a given. 040
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 24/05/2026All feels a bit TinTin. Alan and the Black Spout. Which was actually white but was, admittedly, quite spouty. 000
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Election day in Scotland. Remember - VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN!!! 000
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Hi there - it was only released on quite a limited run as it came out just after Covid. I think it might be very hard to get hold of now I’m afraid. We toy with doing a reprint but I just think time moved on. Sorry. 100
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Cracking draw! It’s not a proper World Cup unless Scotland play Brazil. We owe Morocco for last time and Haiti will be great. Very happy! 130
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Funny to see something your wife filmed 8 years ago be at the top of the Netflix charts. (To avoid confusion it’s not Jenna Ortega). #lochness 000
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 18/06/2025It’s taken years but that’s my final project for my Masters Degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland submitted. Just got to hope I pass now… Schools Out For Summer! 040

Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Delighted to have been shortlisted for the Illustrated Book of The Year award by @sportsbookawards.bsky.social for 'Cup Tied', the book @danielgraywriter.bsky.social and I did last year with @nutmegmagazine.bsky.social BackPage Press and @scottishfa.bsky.social 3166
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Same with photography. Everything in a state of flux just now. Did you take part in the recent Govt consultation about AI? I fear they will just cave in to the AI companies and copyright will be a thing of the past. 000

Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Was 1am when I left the pub. A cold North Sea mist creeping in - an Edinburgh haze. I should know better by now but of course out came the cameraphone... Then to bed, safe in the knowledge I had redefined contemporary photography. And this morning, the results. See you all at The Tate Modern! 030

Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Love it. Had one for about 5 years now - takes a wee bit to get used to but wouldn’t go back to gas for anything. 000
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Clearly, here I investigate the intersectionality of stone, wood and metal. Yes sir, I do. 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Saw you from afar in the pub afterwards but it was too rammed to say hello. Great gig. 110
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Ha ha! I suspect my hastily and badly built garden shed may not be long for this world. 010
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Off not of obvs. (Good name for a Frank Zappa tribute band) 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I turned those Govt Alert things of ages ago. Getting one just felt like that time U2 made everyone listen to their new album. 210
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I kept my account open but barely use it and very close to just quitting entirely. I have a hankering for the “I won’t be hounded out by fascists” approach but basically no-one cares if I am there or not. Including me. 110
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Forced myself to make a start on my final submission for my Masters. Dragged out a paltry 150 words from my protesting brain. 5 months, oceans of research, and about 15000 words to go. Need a lie down now… 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Doing example Still Life photos today to show my students some tips and tricks. Showing them how to get a Dutch Grand Master feel to a still life photo this morning. Much fun. 010
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Really enjoying Leith’s Christmas decorations this year! 040
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 07/12/2024The lad has got a concert on today for his music club and I’m in the auditorium watching the stage get set up and never have I felt more tempted to grab a guitar and do the Smells Like Teen Spirit intro REALLY LOUD. Think I might - what could go possibly go wrong? 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Nice interview with myself and @danielgraywriter.bsky.social about our Cup Tied book in today’s Herald. If you can read it enjoy, if you haven’t got a subscription then it’s EXACTLY like Frost:Nixon. 171
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Aha! You are on here too - I find it more pleasant than Twitter (although obviously still there and Threads and Instagram so am quadruple posting - what a world!) 010
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I always find that European football simply lacks sparkle and big-city glamour without St Johnstone being in it. 110
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 25/11/2024In which I mention “gnawing on a hot dog like a Churchillian reformed-meat cigar”. So proud. 020
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I have prints available to buy of aerial shots of all of the Scottish League grounds (and some others). The link below will take you to a gallery of all the images. Others available on request. Enjoy! www.alanmc.co.uk/m/-/gallerie... 081
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Watched the first episode of series 2 and enjoying it! Wasn’t sure they could pull it off again but looks very promising! 110
Alan McCredie @alanmccredie.bsky.social · 15/11/2024This should help my sanity over the next 4 years. Always had a suspicion ostrich’s were right. 040
