The West Coast of Scotland will forever be one of my favourite views 🩷 #Scotland #ScottishPhotography #WestCoast

A picture of the Isle of Arran, just of the west coast of Scotland. The picture shows the sea and sand, with a couple stopping on the sand to admire the sunset. The sunset has painted the sky with fiery oranges and pastel pinks, before being covered by the blueish clouds above.

Luna cuddles are my favourite cuddles! (Even though she snores louder than any human I’ve ever heard 😅) #DogsofBluesky #SkyDogs

“I never met a sunset I didn’t like…” -unknown.

The sun is setting across the Ayrshire coast. The sky is a mix of orange and blue. The sun is reflected in the water, which is still and calm.

Such a great day at the @uofgshw.bsky.social away day! Lots of amazing speakers, ending the day with the @buildrecovery.bsky.social Lego community garden session.

Nine Lego gardens grouped together to create a community garden. The gardens all have trees, some with flowers. Two have water features. Two have vegetables. One has lots of animals and a shed. The final garden has a bridge with a shark underneath.

A wholesome day spent doon Girvan shore. The best part was finding mint choc chip ice cream - forever my favourite flavour!

There are black railings, behind which you can see the beach and the sea. In the background is the Ailsa Craig, a small island off the west coast of Scotland. The sky is a blue/grey colour.

Eeek, got my first ‘Dr McEwan’ letter today!! PS: if you haven’t already, join a union - even if you’re “just” a PhD student!

A white letter with the letters UCU in pink and purple. Beneath the letters it says University and College Union in purple. Further down the writing reads Dr A McEwan. A black box is beneath this, with a blocked out address. After a few spaces, there is the date.

A wee New Year’s Day treat in Ayrshire tonight: The Northern Lights 💚

After a morning of staring at a computer screen, Luna and I decided to go for a wee frosty lunchtime walk! 🧡 #AcademicSky #DogsOfSky

Great morning at the DRNS Words Matter seminar! Some really interesting discussions around the words we use within services/research, their meanings and being mindful of words we use relating to those with lived/living experience of drug use in different spaces. #AcademicSky

Apparently my thesis makes a good table for Luna to eat her bone on… 😒 #AcademicSky #SkyDogs #PhDSky

1000% agree! Reminds me of the post below… I feel like post-submission photoshoots with your thesis should be a thing!! 🤣

Tried to take a cute picture of Luna looking at the Christmas decorations, only to realise she’s actually staring at her own reflection in the window 😅 #DogsOfSky #SkyDogs

Had the best few days settling into my new job! And managed to catch this amazing sunset coming home tonight, featuring the Ailsa Craig in #Scotland.

Heading to day 1 of my new job on the coldest day of the year 🥶 Wish me luck!

Thought I would reintroduce myself! I’m Amy, a working class academic from Scotland. My interests are substance use, HepC reinfection and social determinants of health. I also post too many pics of my dog, Luna (example included below! 😅) So feel free to give me a follow ☺️ #AcademicSky
