The tall trees by Christ Church still proudly wear their lofty, leafy, verdant crown of summer, but like grey strands appearing in a person's hair, the first, few copper leaves have made their appearance.

Late summer on stage, Lady Autumn waits patiently in the wings.

Went to Royal Mile to take #Fringe pics, but between poor light quality for taking photos, and remarkably few performers doing their thing, I didn't take many. Very sparse compared to pre-Covid Fringe on the Mile.

Interesting piece on the Romans in #Scotland https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65388673

I've always been aware of this history, as the town I grew up, on the edge of Glasgow, was a major fort on the Antonine Wall. Got young me interested in history, learning that it didn't all happen "far away", but also on my doorstep.

Écosse : Eigg, l’île rachetée par ses habitants

Trente kilomètres carrés, 105 habitants, une seule route… ce petit bijou des Hébrides intérieures est devenu propriété de ses résidents en 1997. Vingt ans après, ils ont inventé un mode de vie bien à eux. Direction l’île d’Eigg, en Écosse.
