@parkrunUK The 250 milestone in the pic is out of stock for M L XL XXL. When will they be back in stock? The numbers approaching milestones are predictable. (and maybe don't put out of stock items in social media.)

Time for #MilestoneMonday ⌚ Has anyone reached a parkrun milestone recently? 🌳 #loveparkrun

@The_Lowlander Thanks for this very interesting podcast. My Dad who landed in Normandy in June moved to 108 LAA regt 52 Div in Sept 1945. He was from Dunston Co. Quite a few “Jocks” seem to have been English!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿And so…our very last episode! Yes, it’s a sneak preview of our walkingwiththejocks.co.uk tour in October ‘24. Want to see the war AFTER D-Day and Market Garden?! Come with us, as we follow in the footsteps of the men of the 52nd Lowland Division! We’d also like to say…

@The_Lowlander Thomas Hunter VC went to Tynecastle School in Edinburgh so some of the 52 Lowland Division may have known him warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/201202 tynecastlehighschool.org.uk/about-our-scho… scotsman.com/news/schools-v…

😬 It would help if one of us pushed the button when the tweet is ready to send. Wouldn’t it. The Lowlander — not many episodes left, people. 🥲

@joannasbarlow Interesting. I hadn't seen tourism-gate due to stat-gate and gender-gate. Luckily if they are unhappy they get their entry fee back

@joannasbarlow Agree but parkrun HQ doesn't encourage tourism as far as I'm aware. They've asked people not to swamp parkruns on Nelsons. Every parkrun website says to walk, jog, cycle or use public transport. Not much more they can do: they cant ban people in another town anyway parkrunning

@annaholligan Are cycle paths usually gritted in NL when it is icy?

Morgen 🌧️ Here’s the news (and weather😬) you’ve been waiting for 🚲🗞️☕️ #dnftcp

@The_Lowlander In case you dont have it

@meadowsrunner A great illustration 👍

Happy Lowlander Day - we’ll start 2024 off with a sprint, a dash, and putting our best feet forward. Time for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Lowlander 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. 📣Ep 08 - Balaclavas on! 🔗Link in bio 😎Thanks for listening

@The_Lowlander For example, Roer Triangle was remembered for intense cold in 1945. The later map mentions the 1st British Div HQ in Germany. The 1945 image shows the troops on snow with white camouflage whereas in the later version they are shown wearing khaki.

@The_Lowlander I assume you have seen the souvenir heraldic map (by HM Ramsay?) sent to members of 52(L) Div in Sept(?) 1945. It often has a slightly different emphasis from the map published in “Mountain and Flood” but I assume it was what gave them the idea.

@CllrScottArthur Scott I am not a climate sceptic but I m curious. This is surface temperature. Do you know how much subsurface data there is. I read somewhere there is v little long term T data available for oceans . The truth might be better than this or worse.

As ocean temperatures rise the water expands. This thermal expansion contributes to an increase in sea level.

@EdinArch @aocarchaeology Interesting tour. Thanks

Todays the day to visit Dunsapie Hillfort! Our open day with guided tours is today 1-3pm, and all are welcome! Come see our trenches on our last week of excavation! #scotlanddigs2023 #holyroodarchaeology #HeSsupported #scotarchstrat #parkaeology

@104GardenDesign @CllrScottArthur "There are 16 million cyclists in the Netherlands and the children there are educated from an early age as to the correct way to cross tram tracks. "

@CllrScottArthur How much does Amsterdam, with a much bigger tram network, pay out each year? Surely some of these claims are down to cyclist error. I'm a cyclist and haven't fallen on any tram line.

Edinburgh tram line cycling accidents cost taxpayer £1.26m in 10 years edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…

@CllrScottArthur 422 accidents look significantly worse than international examples studied in this report. d1trxack2ykyus.cloudfront.net/uploads/2017/1…

@RomanScotland FYI there is also a suggestion there may be a third amphitheatre at Camelon falkirklocalhistory.club/archaeology/an…

@thecockburn It would probably be better for the artists and city if the fringe was a bit smaller. Too many good shows get an audience of 2. To make money after the greedy underbelly cut you ideally have one person

Fears for future of Edinburgh Fringe as sales dip blamed on accommodation costs The Edinburgh Fringe only managed to sell 1.5 million tickets this year despite hosting 3,334 shows with performers from 63 countries scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…

@KayleighFONeill @drgs100 Pavement parking winds me up, but it actually takes more effort to pavement park than park on the street so I think some of the pavement parkers think they are being helpful. If so council social media and signage as in your amendment it could be significant

@drgs100 This is my addendum Lennie which was accepted in full👇🏻 Hopefully I’ll be able to join some of said meetings to talk awareness and enforcement soon.

Delighted and grateful for the unanimous backing of @Edinburgh_CC for a plan to ensure Edinburgh is a leader in implementing the ban on pavement parking and at dropped kerbs. Thanks to @KayleighFONeill and @CllrScottArthur for their additions which make my motion even stronger.

@CllrScottArthur Its good that the box has gone. I don't know if this is a problem, but FYI this afternoon the cycle lane was still blocked by the buskers and their audience and gear. A Deliveroo cyclist went on the pavement to get past

It is being removed: 1. No Road Occupation Permit. 2. No Street Trader's Licence. 3. Blocks crossing sight lines, and creates unsafe busking space. 4. Blocks cycle route. 5. Not "aesthetically appropriate". 6. Not part of a Fringe area.

@DigItScotland @F1tzy79 @NtlMuseumsScot No idea, but here are some examples of bridle bits from about broadly similar dates britishmuseum.org/collection/obj… swanton morely bridle bit. artsandculture.google.com/asset/swanton-…

@F1tzy79 @NtlMuseumsScot We never thought of that! 😲

Over 1,000 years ago, the inhabitants of Dunsapie Crag in Edinburgh left behind three bronze axes and a mould for casting curious metal objects 🔥 Now experts are inviting the public to help investigate the remains of this ancient fort from 29 August: bit.ly/3zPO8aC

@CllrScottArthur Still there I'm afraid
