I can take no credit, it was Google Lens !

I've watched the film. This excellent project needs and deserves a sponsor.

We made a film! This is such a brilliant, complex, simple, nature restoration project. Can you help us find a sponsor to turn it from experiment into practice? 🌲🐂 www.galbraithgroup.com/our-services...

Thank you to the kind folks who took time to review my book Herryea Forest recently - it's much appreciated and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you haven't read it yet why not give it a try? you don't need to be/have a child to enjoy an adventure and learn something about forests! amzn.eu/d/48CyrYM

Thank you! I have more of this sort of thing in the archives (some easier reading!) which I hope to get online soon.

Following the money What the origins of St John’s Edinburgh tells us about development of a global commercial capital

How was the construction of the beautiful St John's church funded? What can that story tell us about Edinburgh's role in the Scottish and global economy? Murky dealings and colourful characters in my 2013 paper, available online for the first time. open.substack.com/pub/eleanorm...

Interesting! I'm not sure how informative my work will be - but I'd be happy to chat about it

That's me! And did a postdoc on a whole lot of others :) You'll find lots of words by me on academia.edu

"Works" currently = "trying to find time to get back to working on all the unpublished material" !

I'm confused

Yep, the wild cherry rootstock popping out of the ornamental cherry graft. I've seen one or two round Edinburgh - there's one on Princes St - but none as fine as this.

I've been hunting for a few years: have I found Edinburgh's greatest chimera cherry? (Hutchinson Crossway) 🍒🩷🤍

What is the origin of the Easter Bunny, the word 'Easter', and Easter eggs?

If you are curious about the scholarly answers, which were to me surprising, I highly recommend episode 5 of the excellent "Data over dogma" - on this link, or on your podcast platform.

We're singing some great music over Easter weekend, do come and listen.

Messing about in boats on Sunday in the Clyde. Summer has arrived in Scotland! Thanks to the wonderful C&C Divers team for all the help, training and photos. And we saw dolphins 😃🐬 The white rose shaped thing is sea lemon eggs 🦑

I found lockdown quite relaxing: it's been getting up every morning for work all the other 13 years that his friendly voice has been essential. Thank you @petroc.bsky.social who had suffered alarm clocks far worse than the rest of us!

Galbraith develops pioneering biodiversity opportunities Galbraith is working with landowners and nature experts to provide opportunities for corporate sponsors to restore nature in Scotland.

We at Galbraith are excited this week to be launching three initial pioneering opportunities for corporate sponsors to restore nature in Scotland. Read more here and please do get in touch if you'd like to know more. www.galbraithgroup.com/insights-new...

Thank you! Now I follow!

Yes this is useful work. I'm looking forward to reading the published research and understanding the numbers more clearly - there was a distinction between "use the tree" v "species that just use the wood which are not included" that I didn't really follow.

Oddly Gothick From my archives: discovering a link in the chain of Edinburgh's gothic cultural heritage

An old blog from 9 March 2011, when I looked up at a building and began a journey that led me to write my favourite history paper. eleanormharris.substack.com/p/oddly-goth...

A treat on my walk to work; haven't seen a flock of redwings for ages ☺️

What have been the drivers? Cranefly decline?

Some lovely music this Sunday - Purcell is my favourite!

Brilliant catching up with @woollymaggot.bsky.social today and his amazing cows in trees. It felt more like a safari than a visit to a forest/farm.
