🆕🏛️ A few years ago, I explored the Old Royal High School in Edinburgh, Scotland. For 140 years it served as a grammar school. Later in the 1970s, it was re-fitted to become the future house of Scottish Parliament. The impressive building was never used and sat abandoned for decades.
Now, it is under renovation to become a music event space.
Full feature live Sunday 8 pm (UK), where I share photos of the buildings' prior to renovation.
I've finished: Sailing to Sarantium by Guy Gabriel Kay
This is my first encounter with Guy Gabriel Kay. I can understand why he is so beloved by his fans.
I really enjoyed his writing and his complex and competent characters. He writes so well, he managed to make me enjoy Byzantine court intrigue, not an easy task.
I really loved the historical perspective, and the central part the art of mosaic laying holds within the novel.
I studied history and art history and really connected with these themes as well as the characters.
If you are looking for a fantasy novel, you may be disappointed, as the magical elements only play a small part. though they do eventually represent an important aspect of the overall theme.
This is mainly alt history.

How Segregated Are Your Local Private Schools? We Made a Tool to Help You Find Out.
—
Our reporters mined a trove of data that revealed detailed demographic information about private schools. That helped us find illuminating stories about how those schools divide communities.
I really enjoy reading the newsletter from the software synth developer Cherry Audio. The latest one talks about the famous and incredibly rare Yamaha GX-1.
"In his latest video, producer Noir Et Blanc Vie recounts the story of Keith Emerson's Yamaha GX-1"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmQZSYhbr9w
It served as a sort of working prototype and development platform that eventually led to the Yamaha CS-80.

Please boost this for as much reach as possible.
Parton Kirk, where #physics genius James Clerk Maxwell is buried, is being put up for sale. The community is attempting a buy out to save this kirk for science and the local community. They have until 31st of October to secure the funds.
Here's the crowd funder link. You can help prevent this kirk from falling into private hands.
