Porridge is on the map For centuries it has been a Scottish staple - a hearty and wholesome dish made with three simple ingredients and a wooden spurtle to get people going at the start of the day. Now tourism chiefs have launched a porridge map of Scotland to celebrate the humble breakfast and…

The Trust are calling an EROSION EMERGENCY — asking the council @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social to re-bank, re-seed and re-turf CALTON HILL between now and the end of the year. @spurtle.bsky.social @edinburghminute.bsky.social @edinreporter.bsky.social caltonhilltrust.org/wp-content/u...

Perfect movie watching weather... Join in our cinema takeover at Everyman cinema 6.30pm tonight to watch The Golden Spurtle. A heart-warming film We're in it! Woot! @dogwoofdocs.bsky.social

Spotted in Leith. Brilliant.

To help insects this autumn, let native plants grow in a wild corner. Teasels, dandelions, dead nettles and hemp-agrimony all flower into autumn, providing nectar for butterflies and bumblebees. More autumn plants for pollinators: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/aut...

It's Sunday, so here's your Jesus-related cat content. #cat #cats #catstodon #catsofmastodon #humor #humour

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country. Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.

Coco the gonk whisperer... #pug #dogsofbluesky #pugchat #dog #gonk

So pleased that Coco and I are in the film. We're doing a wee cinema takeover at the Everyman cinema 6.30pm tomorrow. Join us!

Nice review of The Golden Spurtle in The Observer today @tracygriffen.bsky.social Well done!

It just needs the Muppets...

This makes scrolling worthwhile... 😆

Oooh! 👀

The death of beautiful Bracken who ingested a discarded plastic bottle top highlights how dangerous #litter is to animals If we REALLY love animals we don’t drop litter & we pick some up when we can. It only takes a minute Isn’t your dog worth it? #dogsofbluesky #binitforbracken

Who else keeps our of these in their wallet? For old times sake...

Out today!

FOOT OF BROUGHTON STREET:—Beware! The detached base of this bollard is a dangerous trip hazard in the dark. Visitor last night sustained bruised face and wrist broken in 2 places. Urgent request made to Council. #Edinburgh #hyperlocal #news

CONTROVERSIAL PORTALOOS MOVED. @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social have relocated the portaloos formerly by the National Monument on Calton Hill to Regent Walk. Not an ideal location, but we are pleased they've been moved. FYI @thecockburn.bsky.social @edinburghwh.bsky.social @ntbcc.bsky.social

EROSION in 2025 worst for many years — with the loss of whole stretches of top soil. This is our biggest problem. We can pick up litter in a moment, we can move portaloos in a day, we _could_ close road access to motor vehicles whenever we chose — but erosion takes time & careful work to remedy. 1/

As if the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship couldn't get any better... There's a movie of it. All about porridge. In Edinburgh from Friday at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social, Cameo @picturehouse.substack.com and Everyman cinemas.

Plastic grass is one of the worst things you can put in your garden. Instead, let patches of grass grow long and give wildflowers a chance – boosting biodiversity, benefitting pollinators, and filling your patch with colour and life. More: bit.ly/3liIFWv

coffee! coffee! coffee! yes please!

Trees release compounds called phytoncides which can enhance mood & improve sleep. Phytoncides may even help prevent cancer. And native trees are brilliant for all sorts of wildlife - so let’s plant more trees, and cherish those we have already! More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/nat...
