Button Bog spotted in #Tain what a traveller that book is. More beautiful writing from Jess Smith. If you cannot make it to Tain, get it here tippermuirbooks.co.uk or from other bookshops, though I think the trip north is worth it (south if you live farther up).

The Perth 'Steamies' in good company in Perth Art Gallery - Tippermuir at the opening of the Millais exhibition. What an exciting & important venue the Gallery has become. One of the best things about the Museum's move was the freedom it has given the Gallery. And is it soaring!

Before there was rock 'n' roll there was just #rock - the greatest #building #material in human #history. Just a few pages from Nick Aitken's #Drystone will convince you of that. 'Nick Aitken's Drystone is a magnificent delight both in its superb production and exquisite detail.'

A year since Salvage was published. Thanks to every reader & the amazing @tippermuirbooks.bsky.social @rickhendry.bsky.social @romanistanpodcast.bsky.social @chelsmacdonn.bsky.social - to think one bit of advice I got while writing it was: it wasn't a story anyone would want to read!

Of course Calgacus is probably fictional: by creating a brave, noble & defiant foe, Tacitus enlarges Agricola’s victory over the Caledonians at the battle of Mons Graupius, c83 CE (which might also be fictional).
