I’m pretty sure I’ll never do a ‘Loony Dook’, but some local heroes in Craigmillar had a fabulous idea to start the new year. My column from today’s Edinburgh News. #litter #keepscotlandbeautiful #pawsonplastic #Craigmillar #edinburgh app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/never-...

Great fun volunteering in #Craigmillar yesterday. Superb organisation from Elly at @greenspacetrust.bsky.social with around 500 bulbs planted. There’s maybe just another 100k to go! Great fun, great exercise and lovely people to spend time with.

Our travel survey is out. Please take part and help us better understand how we can help people to use their cars less and to walk, cycle and use public transport now.

This low-angle shot shows the dramatic stone ruins of Craigmillar Castle in Scotland, partially obscured by a large tree in autumn foliage. The castle, constructed from golden-hued stones, features a mix of walls, towers, and turrets, with visible signs of age and damage, creating a rugged and historic appearance. Parts of the structure are missing, with gaping holes where walls or windows once were. The castle walls are constructed of many layers of rough hewn stones of different sizes and colors. A stout rounded tower is visible on one corner. The tree on the left has dense branches filled with leaves in various shades of yellow and orange, characteristic of fall. The sky is a clear, deep teal, enhancing the contrast and highlighting the natural and architectural elements of the scene. The castle rises from a gentle, grassy slope, providing a natural foreground.

A year ago in the fabulous Little France Park. #edinburgh #craigmillar

Craigmillar Castle stands in ruins, a testament to its storied past. The weathered stone walls, bearing the marks of time and conflict, rise against a serene sky painted with shades of turquoise and adorned with soft, white clouds. The castle's architecture, visible even in its dilapidated state, hints at its former grandeur. The foreground is a field of golden grass, gently swaying in an unseen breeze, providing a stark contrast to the castle's stoic presence. Patches of shrubs and small trees dot the landscape, adding depth and texture to the scene. The overall composition evokes a sense of history, resilience, and the enduring beauty of nature.

I managed seven pictures and only one was in focus. And this was the only thing I got a picture of at all last night in the wonderful Little France Park, but what a beauty. Emerald Damsel. #edinburgh #nature #craigmillar

Some of the orchids at Little France are getting past their best, but still putting on a great display at Little France Park last night. Lovely views of Craigmillar too. #edinburgh #craigmillar #nature
