Cracking draw! It’s not a proper World Cup unless Scotland play Brazil. We owe Morocco for last time and Haiti will be great. Very happy!

A fiery head on my pint.

Funny to see something your wife filmed 8 years ago be at the top of the Netflix charts. (To avoid confusion it’s not Jenna Ortega). #lochness

It’s taken years but that’s my final project for my Masters Degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland submitted. Just got to hope I pass now… Schools Out For Summer!

Tickets are free but should be booked. Please come along, if you can. www.nationalgalleries.org/event/peter-...

Was 1am when I left the pub. A cold North Sea mist creeping in - an Edinburgh haze. I should know better by now but of course out came the cameraphone... Then to bed, safe in the knowledge I had redefined contemporary photography. And this morning, the results. See you all at The Tate Modern!

Clearly, here I investigate the intersectionality of stone, wood and metal. Yes sir, I do.

Forced myself to make a start on my final submission for my Masters. Dragged out a paltry 150 words from my protesting brain. 5 months, oceans of research, and about 15000 words to go. Need a lie down now…

Doing example Still Life photos today to show my students some tips and tricks. Showing them how to get a Dutch Grand Master feel to a still life photo this morning. Much fun.

Really enjoying Leith’s Christmas decorations this year!

The lad has got a concert on today for his music club and I’m in the auditorium watching the stage get set up and never have I felt more tempted to grab a guitar and do the Smells Like Teen Spirit intro REALLY LOUD. Think I might - what could go possibly go wrong?

Nice interview with myself and @danielgraywriter.bsky.social about our Cup Tied book in today’s Herald. If you can read it enjoy, if you haven’t got a subscription then it’s EXACTLY like Frost:Nixon.

In which I mention “gnawing on a hot dog like a Churchillian reformed-meat cigar”. So proud.

I have prints available to buy of aerial shots of all of the Scottish League grounds (and some others). The link below will take you to a gallery of all the images. Others available on request. Enjoy! www.alanmc.co.uk/m/-/gallerie...

This should help my sanity over the next 4 years. Always had a suspicion ostrich’s were right.

Early walk.

Built in 1786 on a bend in the River Tay near Perth, Stanley Mills* is one of the best preserved examples of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland. Only closed in 1989. *Really should be a British character actor in a 1950's Ealing comedy.
