#AskAnArchaeologist When I've seen digs on TV, each little bit of pottery gets married, catalogued and stored separately. Does there come a point where you just chuck it all in a bucket labelled 'random bits of meaningless pottery'?

'Lightly Swims The Swan', possibly written by Phil Cunningham but certainly performed by him and Aly Bain. But played by me in this instance. youtu.be/tJ5g_6ZnABo

Listening to #Radio4 in the car today and the news was covering the #Hamilton by-election. #Labour won, #SNP came second, but they chose to give air time to #Reform by interviewing Tice. Why do the BBC insist in giving Farage and his chums a platform?

This is my guitar, built for me by Oska Burman (www.oskaburmanguitars.com) and enjoyed by me on a daily basis. So far as I can see this is Oska's first mention here on Bluesky! If you're looking for a quality hand built guitar then I suggest you speak to Oska!

An exquisite acoustic guitar, built by Glasgow-based luthier Oska Burman, lying on its side.
