@CaltonWMTom Wait, was this a birthday celebration I wasn’t invited to? 😱

When you accidentally infiltrate a student night…

📣Read all about @EdinburghUP's major initiative in Open Access publishing: we are committing £250k over five years to making 50 new books by @EdinUniCAHSSres staff freely available. Proud of this contribution to @CAHSSOpenAccess edin.ac/42ZGAPk

Out of office ON for the first of two classic summer Fridays🌞 Tomorrow @CaltonWMTom and I will be repping at the Royal Highland Show and next week the whole gang’s heading for Scone and @ScotGameFair 😎

Wee Cheddars - pleased to be introduced up here, overlooking Rannoch

@MerrynGlover @edbookfest @drrachelhewitt @emilychappell @NapierHamish @PolygonBooks @Taffyagent @CBGBooks @cairngormsnews @scotlit @HighlandHistory @HighlandLIT @NanPrize @VisitCairngrms @WomenInTheHills Congrats, Merryn - what a great trio of events. Looking forward to jumping on one of the buses!

Ever since I made Scotland home, 30 yrs ago, I've dreamed of being a guest at @edbookfest. And like the proverbial buses - 3 events come along at once! Can't wait to share Hidden Fires, #NanShepherd, #music & #Cairngorms w/ @drrachelhewitt @emilychappell & @NapierHamish. Join us!

@CaltonWMTom Gaaaahh - I hope it didn't soak into your shoes (niffy)

3/4 Full bottle of aftershave smashed as I got out of the car. Enthusiasm levels have dipped.

Afternoon at @MaggiesCentres Edinburgh planning the Birthday Ball Calton is proud to be organising this November. Tables on sale now - drop me, @DrKristianKerr or @gazzadaz a note for information.

So proud of all my colleagues at @EdinburghUP for this achievement. Congrats all EUP-ers!

@FlpLtd @CaltonWMTom Down, dog - ahem, downdog #noviceteacher

@CaltonWMTom @DrKristianKerr #defaultsettings

About to be taught some yoga by @DrKristianKerr. Slightly worried something is going to snap.

Tune in to @BBCRSAfternoons today just after 2.30 to hear @EdinburghUP author David Archibald talk about his years Tracking Loach - his over-the-shoulder look at Ken Loach's films and methodology

Just listening along to another excellent episode of @TheBodyServe only to discover that this gorgeous graphic novel is launching a just a short ball from home. Brilliant. Edinburgh tennisheads, haste ye to @PortyBooks on 15/9!

Just the brilliant @HanLavery kicking off the @edintfest opening event with her mesmeric verse - 😍 ‘Edinburgh is a story…’ let it begin!

@thetomham It looks very velvety. Swish.

Early Birthday present from the folks. My mother knows me well.

@Furtherfrom I’m with you! Did have a moment whether I wondered which would end first, Nadal’s match or BoJo’s premiership…

Thank Dios, honestly don't think my nerves could take it if Nadal had lost, there's too much else going on! Also, props to Feliciano López, he's brilliant in the commentary box #Wimbledon2022

@thetomham @DrLucyWhitaker Congrats, you crazy kids!

Another year down. One day I’ll work out why the brilliant @DrLucyWhitaker puts up with me, but until then I’ll just carry on counting my blessings!

@annamfleming For sounds, I thoroughly recommend Roseanne Watt’s @shaetlan_rose poetry collection Moder Dy - brilliant verse in Shetlaen and English. It opens this great Front Row episode by @jm_stout bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Off to Shetland for the first time next week! Can anyone recommend some must-see sights and sounds? I'll be mostly camping and climbing (weather dependent) but also keen to get to know the islands birds/whales/arts/culture/history

Dig in!

A small, consolatory discovery while laid up with a bad back: ‘voltarol’ has a brilliant autocorrect. ‘BRING ME VOLTAIRE, for my need is great!’

@palebackwriter Congrats, Gabriella!

Thrilled to be shortlisted for reporter of the year, scoop of the year and travel writer of the year at the Scottish Press Awards. First two are for my investigations into allegations of harrowing abuse at the restaurants of Tom Kitchin thetimes.co.uk/article/shaken…

@Detroit67Book Loving this colorway!

'Cassius X’ tells the remarkable story of a global icon in the early days of soul music when he was converting to Islam and preparing for his infamous title fight against Sonny Liston. Paperback out soon.
