I'm in Edinburgh for the fringe, so this was timely!

Many thanks to @nrennie.bsky.social for curating this dataset of Scottish Munros. Loch Ness & Loch Lochy serve as a dividing line because of the underlying fault system!

A herd of reindeer stand on a snow hillside at the edge of the caledonian pine forest.

Our reindeer are now in their full winter coats, ready for the coldest part of the year. We've had a fair bit of snow fall over the last week and this is perfect for reindeer. ❄

Here you can see Glacée with a snow covered nose and forehead. Her coat is so insulative that the snow wont melt. 🀯

Eleven years ago tonight, just putting the next day's edition to bed, when I answered the editorial phone. A colleague, who had just staggered out of the chaos and the dust, to alert us that a helicopter had hit The Clutha Bar.

Thoughts tonight with all at the Clutha.
