A beautiful day in Glasgow at my alma mater.

I'm giving a talk on Friday March 14 about the history of fog in Atlantic Canada @smuarts.bsky.social The stories people tell today about fog echo centuries of evocative sensory descriptions and emotional narratives, showing us how fog has always shaped daily life and culture along these coasts ☁️

In case you've ever wondered what the #crofts of a cleared #Scottish Western Isles township looks like. These photos are from Upper and Lower #Grulin on the Isle of #Eigg. The island in the distance is #Muck. Grulin was cleared in 1853 - 11 of 14 families went to Nova Scotia.
