This beautiful short film really captures the art of #traditional #boatbuilding. It is essential we pass on these skills to the next generation to ensure the survival of our much loved craft #ShipshapeNetwork #HubLauch #ShipshapeScotlandHub
@scotfishmuseum are passionate about keeping alive the #traditionalskills required to maintain & operate their #historicvessels. This short film looks at the #boatbuilding skills behind the collection. Enjoy! bit.ly/34Fzuny #ShipshapeNetwork #HubLaunch #skillstraining

Must be something in Scotlands' sea air!
Perhaps Maritime Executive @Mar_Ex and John Paul DeJoria @johnpauldejoria would be interested in helping SS Explorer @SS_Explorer, docked in Leith @forthports and registered @NatHistShips?

Leith Maritime Museum, especially with the @SS_Explorer right next to it. Shame this area is closed to the public.

If you find our shops a bit short staffed this week, I’m sorry. We have a colleague benefit where you get an extra day off when your kids have their first day at school, so a number of colleagues are doing a very special job away from their shops!

Enjoy the stunning view.

My 2021 #Edinburgh calendar is now available from #Etsy and in store at An Independent Zebra don't worry we've got plenty of time to pick one up! Thanks to everyone that's already ordered!

More fog today. @NewingtonCem #Edinburgh was particularly atmospheric. I love the way the usually invisible cobwebs become visible.

Paddle Steamer Waverley has departed Dales Marine shipyard in Greenock after her boiler refit.
The work undertaken was only possible thanks to all those who donated to our Boiler Refit Appeal in 2019 - THANK YOU!
