The Darnley Sycamore. One of the most important trees in Scotland, linked directly to Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley. As the city celebrates its 850th anniversary, hopefully @glasgowcc.bsky.social can act quickly to save and care for this local historic totem. 🌳 #StormÉowyn

People ask me what my hobbies are. One of them is definitely Books. Not just reading books and getting lost in them but the smell of books, going to (used)bookstores and libraries. Who’s with me? #BookSky 💙📚 #Books #BookThrifting
