This is my ink drawing of Wayland's Smithy, a Neolithic long barrow close to the Ridgeway in Oxfordshire. It is said that if you leave your horse there with a coin then Wayland will magically reshoe it. The original artwork is now available on my Etsy shop here: shorturl.at/HDzSI #TombTuesday

Delighted to report The Road to Mons Graupius has been longlisted for Research Book of the Year in the '25 Scotland National Book Awards. Ave Montgomery! What better way to celebrate then to a packed crowd @ the Royal Scots Club in #Edinburgh this morning. www.thesaltires.org.uk

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).

Mrs Bogan of Bogan as she went by early in her career was a daughter of #Perthshire Born & died there - so we claim her. And she may have a crater on #Mercury named after her but she is named after one of the 2 moons of the planet Tython - sadly the one where the naughty Je'daii were sent. #StarWars

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!

The 2025 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo runs 1-23 August. Can't Wait - Then read Mel Jameson's book about his time as the Tattoo's Producer and CEO - from Edinburgh to Samoa and all around the world. #edintattoo #tattoo75 #EdinburghTattoo #EdinburghCastle @WhatOnEdinburgh @edinburgh247

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).
