The Moon lies in the centre of this image, looking bigger than usual and orange in colour due to being close to the horizon. There is a sunset hue of faint blue and even fainter pink in the sky. In the foreground, framing the Moon, is the Victorian front gate of the Royal Observatory.
The #Moon is looking stunning through the front gates of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh this evening!

A nearly symmetrical view straight along a cobbled lane, just wide enough for a vehicle. Random-sized garden walls with frequent gaps. Equally random streetlights and telegraph poles. A few evergreen shrubs at the edges and bare branched trees above.

The Edinburgh Uni project "Survey of Scottish Witchcraft" is an interactive look at the lives, trials, and locations of those accused under the Witchcraft Act.
A vital tool for putting these stories back on the map.

Huge congratulations to the four Edinburgh and Midlothian libraries shortlisted for Library of the Year at the British Book Awards! 📚
A brilliant recognition of the hard work of staff and volunteers who make our libraries such vital community spaces. Wishing you all the very best in the finals! 🤞
What I really like about @keithbroomfield.bsky.social ‘s book is that every chapter ends with useful information on how to get there by bus or car. A must read book.

There is a female arm wearing a Victorian style sleeve in the top left hand corner and a hand in the bottom right hand corner wearing a surgical glove. Each hand is holding a white square with black text on it which reads "New Temporary Exhibition A Fair Field and No Favour: The History of Women in Surgery opens Saturday the 5th of April 2025". The background is dark blue.
There is just one week left to view our current temporary exhibition 'A Fair Field and No Favour: The History of Women in Surgery'.
If you can't see it in person, the exhibition is available on our free digital guide: guides.bloombergconnects.org/en-US/guide/...
