An exciting day for a young me when my Granny took part and spoke on a radio phone call to Canada from the site. No mobile phones then so it was a huge deal 😀

Enjoy Still Life With Red Chair by William Gillies RSA (1898 – 1973) in honour of travel for #onlineartexchange. By the time Gillies paints this around 1928-30 he’d travelled twice to France & absorbed cubism, surrealism, & other European art movements. See it at JGC till 26/4/24

Do those daily 10,000 steps sometimes feel like a struggle? Not for Bob Carlisle! Bob who grew up in Haddington was a long distance pedestrian walking from Lands End to John O'Groats and back in 1879. Oh and he tamed tigers on the side! Learn more: shorturl.at/ctzW6
