Part of a decorative frieze on a sandstone building showing putting at work cutting and gathering corn.

They're wonderful! A match for the #PuttiOfPorts on the frieze of the Corn Exchange in Leith, though they're not so close to me. My closest may be the #PuttiOfIndustry at the gatehouse of Heriot's school

Part of the frieze on the Corn Exchange in Leith, celebrating the role of Leith as a port and commercial centre (1861 Peddie and Kinnear): more #puttiofindustry for @rhiggitt.bsky.social

A fine example of #puttiofindustry

View of the entrance archway (19thc) with turrets etc. The sunlit main building can be glimpsed through the arch.

Detail cropped from the previous photo, showing a stone carving of putti welding a hammer over an anvil. Below are two winged cherubs, monogram and decorative stonework

So many, many times I have passed the gates of George Heriot's School without stopping to look at it (as opposed to the amazing main building and views of Edinburgh Castle). I only saw today the #puttiofindustry there (variant on #puttiofscience)
