Was out on a boat near Inchcolm Island doing some photography & caught this unique perspective of a rainbow with those yellow Inch Cape windfarm jackets at Leith Docks. #rainbow #Leith #Scotland

#OTD in 2009, the view down the zigzag path up Arthur's Seat.
The tree covered hill in the distance is Corstorphine Hill. Edinburgh Castle is just visible beyond Salisbury Crags.

Great moments in the history of Scottish economics. Adam Smith has a final look down the boards, polishes his lucky ball for the last time and pulls off a miraculous split to tie the series with Sir James Steuart

Great moments in Scottish philosophy history. David Hume uses his iPad to google for the causes of Shiny Toe Syndrome.
The David Hume Statue on the High Street in Edinburgh. It has shiny toes because so many people have been rubbing them.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

From the same chippy as Blaggis. I think they must be working on the principal that if it ain’t fish it must be vegan.

A new (to me) culinary delight at a chippy in Seahouses. Don’t ask what it tasted like, I had a fish supper.

Or Why not try Blaggis. Half black pudding half haggis.

Hugh Hood. Glasgow. 1974-78. This Glasgow was a city of ghosts and rubble, its air a miasma of sandstone dust and occluded sunlight. Hugh’s work was local history reframed as National Geographic anthropology.

I'm not sure what's more surprising, that this row of shops and flats in West Granton has been left abandoned for over 16 years, or that it's not yet mysteriously burned down in all that time 🤔
