A triumph of over-engineering, the Forth Bridge, often called the Forth Rail Bridge since the arrival of the Forth Road Bridge: now one of three great bridges across this part of the Firth of Forth, each built in a different century.

The first gosling I’ve seen this year! Fairly newly hatched by the look of it.
They’re not in this photo, but it was being fiercely protected by both parents. #birds#nature#Edinburgh#Scotland
Overheard quite an elderly couple debating #AI in a beautiful spot in the #PentlandHills near #Edinburgh. He was all in on the successor species nonsense and she could see right through it. They walked off still talking about it.
18 May 1650: James Graham, Marquess Montrose led through the streets of #Edinburgh#otd in a cart driven by the hangman. Hanged at Mercat Cross on 21 May dressed in a scarlet cloak: 'Moir besieging a brydegrome nor a criminal going to the gallows' (NGS)

No idea when I took it, where I took it, or what on earth is going on 😲😄
Edinburgh in sunset/sunrise mode.
A beautiful city, with fabulous architecture and endless history, there are endless photo opportunities here, especially in that golden hour.
Summerhall, an arts complex in Edinburgh housed in a former veterinary college, is being sold.
This is a petition to hope it remains a centre for visual arts, music, dance, theatre and film. It also houses a brewery and a gin distillery, with an excellent pub, so it's got something for everyone!
It's a brilliant space throughout the year - not just during the Fringe!
Only a short walk from the much better-known Rosslyn Chapel south of Edinburgh is the ruin of the fairy-tale Rosslyn Castle, occupying the summit of an easily defensible rocky promontory. A stone castle was first built here in 1304. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/roslin/rosslyncastle/index.html
