Just along the road from me at Barnton Bunker. I had no idea they were keeping emus there. Click if you want to see video of a half naked man being attacked by an emu. 😮 I had fancied a visit to the bunker - not so sure now.

Does anyone know what this derelict building on McDonald Road was? Streetview goes back to 2008 and it was empty then (although there appears to have been plans to convert it to residential).

Atmospheric photograph of the Forth Bridge, taken from Rodney at sunset in Oct 1940 while she was based at Rosyth. Years of hard service lay ahead, and without an extensive refit she was in poor condition by late 1944, spending the remainder of the war at Scapa Flow 📷 IWM A 1207 🧵10/10

Took in a 'dog friendly' screening of Hamnet yesterday. The film starts with Jessie Buckley whistling at a hawk, but the entire canine element in the cinema took it as a signal to go for walkies and it all kicked off.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo
