Even the horses have taken to wearing their winter coats. A fine day for taking photographs but not for photographers. The Scottish Executive have scuppered a lottery funded national photographic centre at the old Royal High School in Edinburgh. This was the same School which was going to house the Scottish parliament but was going to be too expensive at £2 million pounds. We eventually spent over £400 million.
Good news for Gaelic speakers as Edinburgh City Council opts to hold a year long festival in the town. Gaels were one of the original inhabitants of Scotland as well as Ireland and the Isle of Man. This old and wonderful language was in danger of falling into disuse but has had a resurgence in recent years.
