There’s a lovely article on @BBCNews today about the ancient well in the crypt of Glasgow Cathedral and the archaeological dig to undercover its secrets as part of #Glasgow850 Led by the Aproxima Creative Collective team, the work, which was part funded by @GlasgowHeritage includes a very beautiful glass mosaic installation by Scottish artist Joanna Kessel which celebrates and draws attention to what is arguably the starting point of the city of Glasgow and underscores its deep spiritual significance:

😍 From major attractions and tours to hidden gems and outdoor activities, there's a wealth of exciting experiences and events across Stirling for visitors and residents to enjoy.

Each day this week ,we're focusing on the theme of culture to inspire your next trip to Stirling - and to showcase why the area welcomed record numbers of visitors in 2024.

Stirling was recently crowned Scotland’s cultural capital in a new study so it’s the perfect destination for culture vultures.

A key hub for Stirling’s arts and cultural activity is the Tolbooth. This award-winning venue blends in the heart of the medieval city centre, blends historic architecture with contemporary design, hosting live performances, artists’ studios and a wide range of creative events.

Split across two rooms in the building, the Tolbooth Gallery has hosted some first-rate fine art works, wonderful exhibits from local amateur visual art collectives and renowned new media exhibitions. All are free to view

On Saturday 2 August, the Tolbooth Gallery will welcome a new exhibition, in partnership with the Stirling Photography Festival and Street Level Photoworks of Glasgow: Beyond Home by Ron O’Donnell.

Ron is a photographic artist renowned for his dazzling constructed and narrative photographs. His images are vibrant, daring and humorous and have touched upon allegory, myth, identity, mortality, and politics.

Actually my favorite bird etymology is that in 1400s England they gave human nicknames to birds (Jenny Wren, Tom Tit) but some of them stuck. Jack Daw became Jackdaw, Maggie Pie became Magpie. With Robin Redbreast, they just dropped the original name of the bird entirely.

The shipwreck uncovered in Sanday, #Orkney last year has been identified as HMS Hind, later the Earl of Chatham which was wrecked in the Bay of Lopness in 1788.

More than 230 years buried in the seabed, before being released by a storm in 2024.

Some very sad images in this report of the recent demolition of St Ninian's Parish Church, Greenock.

Designed by Church of Scotland architect Harry Taylor and built 1959-61, the bold Dalle de Verre stained glass cross was by John Lawrie.

All now gone.😢

PS - as is usually the case when the National Trust talks about sacking staff, we find in the most recent accounts (2023/4) that top executive pay has gone up.
