I live in Edinburgh. There are 3 seasons; ‘Oooo can’t wait until August’, ‘Hoorah, at last it’s August’ and ‘Oh no, that’s it all over’

The internet isn’t going to get any better than this today. Well played.

This looks so familiar to me. And then I realise it’s 40 years old! Jings.

I’d never noticed that dee-ling sound on Maggie May. But now that Taylor has pointed it out, I can’t I hear it.

Here’s a suggested walk from Edinburgh City Transport from 1958 for folks on the 8 and 9 routes

Next shot is a fancy parade! 90 years later I can't even guess how much of this is costumes for the parade and how much is just how they dressed

It would be great if anyone can identify the occasion?

Do you think he got his wicker baskets from Dunelm? Or maybe Ikea?

I think it’s probably kept going with Royal Yacht visitors.

I did enjoy finding out that a former pupil of Jimmy Clark's was John Gollan (1911-72), general secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain. ⚒️⭐🇬🇧
He got 6 months in 1931 for handing out socialist pamphlets (“The Soldier’s Voice” and “The Organ of Communist Soldiers“) at Redford Barracks 🧑‍⚖️

Princes St in the wet gloam.

Beginning to lose faith completely in all socials as very few people are seeing them.

If you like them please do share them. Thanks neebs.

I saw that and ignored it! Of course, Isabella. D’oh.

I’ve found her mother as Sybellah Tennock (son’s birth) and Sibilla Tinnoch (her birth & baptism). They don’t make it easy for us, do they!

If you happen to be in Edinburgh this weekend or early next week, please consider popping into my street photography exhibition. 33 prints from 27 Edinburgh-based street photographers. Some excellent pics and, best of all, it's free!

I always look for the Angel of the North when I’m on the East Coast line.

It’s tricky to find an environmentally sound way to clean a loo. This feels that it uses less chemicals than squirting loo cleaner round the bowl.

The pad is very small. And it’s pretty tricky to find a way to clean a loo that’s ok for the environment.

Yes! It always amazes me when I see that the bus routes and numbers often have remained the same for decades. With the old trams sometimes having had the same number too.
