Herculaneum always deserves more attention than it gets. Just ordered a copy for my tour reading, can't wait to dig in on the long flights ahead.

@KeysGlobetrot I hope you enjoy!

Thrilled to glimpse this spotted flycatcher on an early morning walk in woodland by the edge of the Ochils. Sadly, this beautiful summer visitor has declined by up to 90% since the late 1960s and is on the UK Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern

@adrianmurdoch Had a great day and as I insist on inflicting my own tours on the family your book was invaluable for actual insights as opposed to myths but also being able to piece things together

[Adrian Murdoch @adrianmurdoch]

@jonnyfallon I am so pleased. It is a really special site

[Adrian Murdoch @adrianmurdoch]
