History of the National Library of Scotland
29 May, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh – free

2025 marks the 100th birthday of the National Library of Scotland as it currently is – a public resource tasked with preserving the literary heritage of a nation. However, the Library’s story did not begin in 1925. Robbie Mitchell & Ralph McLean explore the five centuries of history that made the Library what it is today.

Never seen this type of structure around Eryri before.

Oddly, and despite being located by the side of a farm track and quite visible, they don't appear on the historic environment record.

They seem to be similar to the cleits on Hirta, main island of the St. Kilda archipelago.

Yesterday I visited Dylan Thomas' boathouse and writing shed in #Laugharne for the first time. It's a ditty little museum but very charming! Plus it was a VERY beautiful day for it.

I'll freely admit I knew very little about Dylan Thomas before visiting, and now I know a smidge more (including what he sounded like). Winning, right?

An excellent @thecwordpodcast excursion all in all!

A smiling white woman in her late 30s is looking at the camera. She's got short hair on one side of her head and long brown hair on the other. She's wearing blue glasses and a grey and black top that reads "lucky" backwards (since the photo is mirrored by the selfie camera). In the background is a cream coloured building, green grass, and a view of the sea.
A beautiful sunny day: there's a muddy beach and low tide sea, woodland in the far distance, a historic boathouse and a budding tree in the foreground. It's ludicrously beautiful and summery.
An interior view of a shed set up as a writing workspace from the past: unframed photos adorn the white walls, see through curtains in browny-orange hang in the windows, and there's a stunning view of the sea. A cluttered bookcase full of fallen over books can be seen to the left, while the middle is taken over by a table and a chair with a cardigan on it. The table is covered in notes, half written book pages, writing implements, books, and the debris of creativity or madness. (This is where Dylan Thomas wrote a bunch of well known stuff.)

🇫🇷 Pour ce soir, une vue de Nivelles que j'ai visitée aujourd'hui, une découverte charmante en Roman Païs...

La collégiale Sainte-Gertrude est une ancienne église Abbatiale dont la façade a retrouvé son lustre! Elle est le symbole de la petite ville.

Pour ceux qui veulent, j'ai déjà placé quelques photos du joli parce de la Dodaine, l'écrin de verdure de la ville (lien ci-dessous).

Bonne soirée! 👋

🇬🇧 For tonight a lone photo from my visit today, the charming little city of Nivelles is certainly a visit worth!

The collegiale Sainte-Gertrude is the landmark of the city, and it is bright again as the facades were totally restored.

For those who want, I already have set some pictures of the Parc de la Dodaine, the green place in the city (link here under).

Enjoy your evening! 👋

A lovely example of a less complex multicellular sheepfold ('buarth' or 'corlan' in Welsh) in the Denbigh Moors yesterday.

The fold is likely 18-19th century and primarily intended for washing. This one has a (probably) slightly later dam with a portal to seal water behind at washing time.

A drystone multicellular washing fold as seen from a low drone. A stream runs immediately past it and was able to be dammed by means of a wall with a portal and iron runners.

Before my wife's chronic migraine, she was deeply involved in genealogy.
For my family history, she actually found where my paternal great-grandmother was on the Dawes Rolls. She was 1/4 Choctaw which makes me 1/32 Choctaw. I think I'm also 1/128 Cherokee but we can't find the evidence since that would be quite far back.
Anyway, that makes my dad verifiably 1/16 Choctaw.
What's interesting is that he took a DNA test and it found 0% Native American DNA. Genetics and heredity is weird like that since you only get half of each parent's DNA.

I'm not obscene enough to start claiming my "Native American Heritage" for 1/32 and a life that was lived entirely as an entitled white person.

A part of Eryri so undisturbed that it's still possible to walk through the pattern of leading wall openings to an ancient - probably Bronze Age - field system.

Of course, being in Wales, it's never received anything other than the most cursory of notes-in-passing study, despite being in a wider area of intense prehistoric activity.

If this were found anywhere else, imagine the excitement.

Leading wall entrance to a prehistoric field system. Though robbed to leave very little in later times, the outline of the field system is still easily traced today.
