What do you mean, emoji cartouches aren’t a thing?

[LitLong Edinburgh @litlong]

We’ve had some serious technical issues recently while trying to get our site onto a more sustainable footing, but we’re delighted to say - and we hope we’re not tempting fate here - that we’re now back up and running and here to stay!

And our emoji cartouche is 🔥↔️

In preparation for #JamesHogg250, why not listen to some of his songs, and find out about recent research? There's plenty there to intrigue and inspire -- and there will be more to come in 2020!

26% inanimate objects have plaques in Edinburgh. So we just need to get most of the blokes to be classified as very very VERY lazy (inanimate!) and the @openplaques will be 50% women. Any other ideas of how we fix this?

Always that sense of literary landscaping navigating #Edinburgh - from stepping off the train, and past the close where Allan Ramsay founded Scotland's first public theatre in 1736, onwards. Inspiring walking, and positive meetings, today @LitScotland @Saltire_Society @litlong

[Dr Valentina Bold FSA Scot @Val_Bold]

Lovely to walk past #GrowingUpWithBooks yesterday -- looking busy! Still open till December, with the conference to come on 23/11. Can't wait!
