If there’s any Scottish people looking for a job in branding or marketing, I think there’s a vacancy at John Lewis because there’s clearly no Scottish person working there at the moment.

The reduced level of public access to the gardens & restrictions imposed on events in recent years have been an absolute disgrace for a city world famous for culture.
It’s essential that all arts organisations & performers have a say on making the most of this precious asset.
Have your say on the future use and development of the Ross Bandstand and West Princes Street Gardens.
Your feedback is crucial to making sure these iconic cultural and historic public spaces work for everyone.
Take part by 20 December consultationhub.edinburgh.go…

Don't miss Scottish Textiles Showcase, just off the Royal Mile. It's the perfect spot for high-quality knitwear, cosy blankets, yarn, and other Scottish-made goods. If you're lucky you might even meet Squid, one of the delightful shop dogs who gave us a very warm welcome!

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing.
The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos.

With its stunning neo-Gothic architecture, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery is not only home to incredible art but is a work of art in itself. Don’t forget to look up at the mesmerizing zodiac ceiling when you visit! ✨

⚡️ Zelenskyy: Hugs with Putin won’t help. Some of you have been hugging him for 20 years, and things only get worse. He thinks only of wars and will not change. Only pressure can restrain him.

BREAKING 🚨: Hubble and James Webb telescopes teamed up to drop new images of two spiral galaxies colliding

A nearly 100-billion-mile-diameter debris disk encircles the star Vega.
Astronomers have long assumed this was a disk of planet-forming material, but new observations with Hubble and @NASAWebb offer a different verdict.
"The Vega disk is smooth, ridiculously smooth."
ALT The Vega disk as imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The disk is perfectly circular, and at the center is a black spot blocking out the bright glow of a star. Closer to the center, the disk is white. Radial striations extend out from the center, giving a ripple effect to the disk like the end of a sausage casing. The outer edge of the circular disk is blue.
ALT The Webb image of the disk is an orange colored, smooth, fuzzy halo. The inner disk is whiter toward the center, and there is a darker lane between the inner disk and the more orange outer disk. The disk is also perfectly circular, with a black circle in the center blocking light from the star.
