Gone to the other place

The sandstone masonry drip moulding above 140 Gorgie Road has failed and some fallen on to the pavement below. Thankfully no-one seems to have been hurt @edinhelp @GDCC_

Here is this week's #mysteryphoto (no. 297). I think it's a windmill stump, but I might be wrong. Either way, if you recognise it, please get in touch so I can update its catalogue record. Thank you!

Everyone stop what you're doing. Nixie the @TowerOfLondon cat is sat on the Roman wall. That is all.

A spooky observation during a visit to @welovehistory Castle Semple Collegiate Church today There's a bat in the tracery

@jpwarchaeology @EnglishHeritage @guardian Somewhere the EH Property Curators & Historians are wincing at the press release put out by the Comms department

@EnglishHeritage "Witches' marks" is not a useful term in graffiti studies. I wrote this piece about why it should be avoided as long ago as 2020. Disappointing to see @guardian and @EnglishHeritage press office still using it when reporting on Gainsborough Old Hall. …iskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/mediaeval-myth…

We've been bewitched by new finds at Gainsborough Old Hall 🧙‍♀️ Around 20 ‘witches' marks’, traditionally made to protect buildings and those inside against demons, witches or the evil eye, have been discovered by one of our volunteers, Rick, at the hall.

Extra time on Bute yesterday and got to fit in a visit to the excellent #RothesayCastle @welovehistory @Hebcruises

@NTS_archaeology @bordersheritage @Hebcruises Got time for St Blane's or St Mary's?

Good walk up to Dun A' Chogaidh fort above Tayvallich @Hebcruises @N_T_S Well defined stone walls 2-3m wide and surviving up to 1.5m high in one section. Great view down Loch Sween.

@NTS_archaeology @scottishcanals @Hebcruises @N_T_S Amazed you could fit the ship along the canal😉

oh the Crinan Canal for me, I don't like the wide open sea, Those big rolling breakers, They give me the quakers, Oh the Crinan Canal for me! @scottishcanals @Hebcruises @N_T_S

@NTS_archaeology @welovehistory @Hebcruises @N_T_S Hope you gave @LinksRobbie a wave

@pitchblacksteed Bob, that's a funny name for a girl!

To many of us, #Blackadder is part of every day parlance. Which phrases from the show do you use yourself and when you do you use them? Example: When someone offers me a cup of tea, I say: "Yes, immediately!" You get the idea. Will RT the best ones.

It was splendid afternoon last year chatting with @StoneMePodcast about the fantastic @welovehistory @HistEnvScot Cairn Holy And now you can listen to the episode, either through your favourite podcast app or via stonemepodcast.com/programmes/cai…
