My first show this year of the Festival! #MakeitHappen – a brilliant satire on RBS’ role in the banking crash. Well worth seeing #EdIntFest #EdinburghInternationalFestival

The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.

Volunteering on Calton Hill #Edinburgh this Friday 25 July from 2pm, for anyone who wants to help @caltonhill.bsky.social improve the condition of the hill – the weather forecast's currently looking good! ☀️

Climate change is terrifying…yet a heatwave comes and we get shown pictures of people eating ice creams on the beach 🤷 this clip shows weather events that happened during just part of the month of June; not even a full month of extreme weather 😰 #climatechaos

Looking forward to learning more about nature in Holyrood Park & Calton Hill #Edinburgh at this event with @caltonhill.bsky.social this evening 🌿

I was really disappointed to read this morning that the new murals in Coalie park, Leith have been vandalised. Along with theft of one of the new benches it seems that hopes of improving this space will be dashed by the ignorant and the malicious. @edinburghminute.bsky.social

Enjoyed some sunshine on Calton Hill at lunchtime ☀️ – good to see the drive remains closed to unauthorised vehicles, it’s much safer and more pleasant to walk up without a stream of fast-moving vehicles

Our NINTH LITTER PICKUP is on Saturday (18 January) starting at 10.00 from outside the City Observatory on CALTON HILL. Lasting 90 minutes. Refreshments provided. All welcome — members & non-members. Write <[email protected]> for more information.

I can very much relate to this! "I was in despair about the environmental crisis. Then I volunteered to clean up my local park" www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Stickers are everywhere on Calton Hill when you start looking! Productive morning today with @caltonhill.bsky.social volunteers trying out ways of removing stickers and graffiti from posts and info boards. The main learning is to pick a warmer day to do the work 😁

15 years old, but still completely relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we could be creating today would be a LOT better and easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

As Edinburgh shivers under a blanket of sleet and snow, and entirely fails to cope with this well forecasted, seasonal weather event, here's a chilly view of "Holyrood in the Snow" by William Wilson from 1935 from the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland.

Beautiful day on Calton Hill! ☀️ #edinburgh

Imagine all the things you could do as one of the world's richest people... and you choose to spend your time & money promoting hate speech & disinformation 😞
