The head and neck of a roe deer obscured by a bush. But most of the frame is filled with an out-of-focus classic red telephone box. I did get clearer shots of the deer but was very happy to get this background.

This roe deer was very unexpected this morning. It was at the bottom of the slope of Calton Hill and seeming to be considering jumping down to Regent Road.

A monochrome photograph in which the sky has been replaced with a grey-green block of colour. We are looking up at the Dugald Stewart Monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh. According to Wikipedia, the monument is ‘a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns around an elevated urn, on a circular podium’. To the left of the monument is an old building. The hillside below the monument is thick with vegetation.

Heich thochts.

High thoughts.

A monochrome photograph. We are looking up at the tall, telescope-shaped Nelson Monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh. Behind the tower is a cloudless sky.

"Basalt is boring."

That's fighting talk that is!

It was said tongue in cheek, but it was interesting to learn about how phenocrysts in the basalt suggest the magma cooled slightly for the crystals to form before it flowed as a lava over the surface. #CaltonHill #geology

The city feels like a story. We arrived in Edinburgh yesterday, and today we let it carry us, winding streets, open skies, and Calton Hill stealing our hearts 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #Edinburgh #Scotland #CaltonHill

Are the Capital’s green spaces as green as they used to be? As volunteers returf one city park, blaming the council for dragging its feet - how big a problem is erosion in Edinburgh?

Anyone who's tried climbing #Arthur'sSeat in the rain or finding a patch of grass on #CaltonHill in the summer knows- we have an #erosion problem. But just how big is the issue?

Royal High School, Calton Hill Bicentenary - The Old Edinburgh Club The Royal High School buildings on Calton Hill have their bicentenary in July 2025. This post provides the history.

The laying of the foundation stone of the Royal High School, Edinburgh, on 28th July 1825. A great blog by Steven Robb for the OEC. #royalhighschool #caltonhill #thomashamiltonarchitect #lordprovost #lordglenorchy #oldedinburghhistory #scottishenlightenment #greekrevivalbuildings

A white-letter hairstreak on the small yellow flowers of lady's bedstraw. The white "W" that gives its name is visible here (but not the clearest example). It also gives the scientific name Satyrium w-album.

This was a big surprise today, a white letter hairstreak appeared on the lady's bedstraw by the observatory building on Calton Hill.

@caltonhill.bsky.social, have a look high in your elms, they're likely there.
