Wow, that’s a great number of readers

Apparently sales are in the single figures UK-wide!

I remember this. I worked with a tour company which kept running even though there was nobody there. Bleak times, especially since I hadn’t been self-employed long enough to get anything

Large scenes of this were filmed in Edinburgh, including a gallows scene. It was a bit wild to see them dirty up all the buildings

This will probably seem quite a random comment as it’s 2 years later but I totally might find use of this in an article I’m writing for my website about the connection between Scotland and Nigeria!

Picture of a crowd of people on a walking tour. Caption reads “have you booked yet? 15 for the Forgotten Women’s tour this week!”

In the past 8 months I’ve been running the Street Historians, I’ve been thrilled to tell stories others don’t. That includes our Forgotten Women’s tour which has been getting numbers thanks to @edinburghminute.bsky.social

Excuse me if I’m being dense but why do you have tags in French as well?

Definitely, I’m exhausted by her shit and I’m not even trans. Just bored

Looked at flats. I’m not having one less one of my richer relatives dies. And I love my family so it feels bad

Wow, I used to live right under the Castle so I remember that
