@GerardCarruthe2 @NatRecordsScot This looks like a great day out!

Great tour today of @NatRecordsScot for our Scot Lit postgrads from Jessica & Jocelyn - thank you!

@profdanielcook @RealGDT #Frankenstein is just so incredibly beautiful in all its detailed attention to the text, and every bit as heartbreaking. What a world for the creature to be brought into, and what a story for the ages. I could not have loved it more @RealGDT.

“And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on” - Byron @RealGDT’s #Frankenstein is an achingly beautiful take on Mary Shelley’s tale as well as a loving homage to the history of Frankenstein (and Bride of Frankenstein) movies You need to see it on the big screen…

@LiamMcIlvanney Yes! 🙌

@DrAinsleyMac It’s perfect…

Embarking on my annual read of this dark masterpiece. One of the great Scottish novels…

Make Sunday special with a visit to Ellisland – the farm Robert Burns built. Open every Sunday, 11 am–4 pm. Explore the farmhouse, museum & riverside walks just north of Dumfries. ellislandfarm.co.uk

Lovely day at @AbbotsfordScott yesterday to mark Scott’s 254th birthday. Thank you to its brilliant staff and volunteers who work tirelessly and innovatively to maintain the estate and house as a uniquely special place to visit.

We’ve got a novel playlist at the listening bench in the Pavilion at Abbotsford. It features an immersive audio stream themed by ‘Garden Stories’, ‘Scott’s Literary Garden’, ‘Restoration’, and ‘Sir Walter Scott’s Journal’. A visit to Abbotsford really is a feast for the senses!

We are hiring @Burns_Ellisland @GlasgowBurns @UofGlasgow ellislandfarm.co.uk/we-are-hiring-…

Today’s Nurture through Nature @_SELCIE_ symposium ended as it began with a bountiful garden of ideas from wonderful speakers. Very grateful to @SarahDunnigan1 for organising this event and nurturing this project to fruition🍃💜

Brilliant and incredibly interesting array of speakers and talks talks so far this afternoon at the @_SELCIE_ Nurture through Nature symposium 🍃 @SarahDunnigan1

@GerardCarruthe2 Enjoy! I’m sorry to miss this! Xx

Down in Irvine for the annual John Galt Lecture. Bits of old Irvine, quite lovely. But what I hate about Scotland/UK - that we live among so many manky litter louts. Here is Hill St looking to Irvine Old Parish.

Was great to go to the launch of the @_SELCIE_ Nurture through Nature exhibition today! Teeny Gem would be pretty chuffed to see her fairy-hunting endeavours displayed in a museum 📚🧚‍♀️

Thinking @_SELCIE_ would love this enchanted bird carriage!

So grateful to my dear friend and wonderful colleague @DrAinsleyMac for kindly speaking on my behalf at the 'Nurture through Nurture' exhibition launch 💚🌿🦉 What a beautiful description! 🥹🐦 #naturenurture @_SELCIE_
