There's a shady character on Queen Street.
Twice in the year, around the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sunrise shines right along Ingram Street, turning the Iron Duke, his steed, Copenhagen, and even his traffic cone hat into a shadowy work of art.

Ooooh that is quite near
I want to see puffins this year as I have never seen them before. Assuming they haven’t all died from avian flu where can I go in Scotland to see them and when?
Ha! I've a friend at Avebury for some Vibes. Should ask her for The Power
I will accept neutral news too. My expectations are at sea level most of the time
Loved the Fair Botanist and can recommend it on so many levels. Off to investigate your other books.
I don't know - the person who bought them showed me, and it seemed churlish to ask what they paid for them. I don't imagine they were hugely expensive.
Her mother an MG. I'll take a peek later myself
How much did they sell for at auction . I have two amazing samplers sown in 1830 By family in what is now denniston .
Thanks to @AGrayArchive, for this to be happening is terrific!
Hmmmm well if she was Catholic, it might be her getting married to another William in 1824 at St Mary's Cathedral ... which means that sampler ended up a few hundred yards from where she was married. I'm hoping. 😂
I will put her on my list. And keep you posted.... Thank you ....
I love samplers. Did you see the ones featured at Chambers Street several years back? A friend came down from Aberfeldy for that express purpose, and was delighted.
No, but I'm guessing her father was a William so it would be possible to pin her down on Scotland's People
Have you found Mary Laurie yet?
These 1822 samplers were sold at auction a couple of weeks ago. They were made the year The Fair Botanists is set. Very privileged to have got a close up sneak peek this morning. They're gorgeous.
Wrote my 1st novel during Keep the Clause campaign 20yrs ago. Writing my 11th while more folk than I would have anticipated are willing to support a prospective leader who believes LGBTQ+ people are not entitled to equality. Plus ca change 🏳️🌈 Fight for equality continues ✊ pic.twitter.com/prL3RfYiic
I had a great time in the Botanics last autumn shooting these glorious pics with Angela Catlin, now part of an article about writers at @RBGECreative in the Botanics magazine alongside @valmcdermid & @GerdaStevenson8
Or maybe there is a giggling gnome underneath? Did you check?!
It’s like a portal to another world that evocative piece of art nouveau ironwork!
'Girl with an Amber Earring'. Astounding photograph by Angele Etoundi Essamba. Brava, Angele! @angele_essamba
Could’ve spent all day in the fantastic @Lighthousebks - so brilliant to meet you & to see #allmywildmothers - a story of #radicalhope - sitting amongst such interesting companions 😊🌱💚 #MothersDay #booktour #BookTwitter #feminist #disabled #rewilding #wildearth

If anyone was worrying about how little review coverage there is for women’s commercial fiction in the media, fear not! @jojomoyes and I got a whole page in Private Eye. Not at all patronising either. We even got a line drawing. pic.twitter.com/DVRPcNU9JJ
This fairytale novel has got me through the last couple of weeks. If you're into Victorian circus and sideshows you'll love it too. @essiefox wrote it during lockdown and I can see why - it's a great escape. ❤️📚
Someone probs just took this off and left it at the bus stop at the stroke of midnight 😂
Earlier this month @AberdeenCC announced plans to decommission 6 of our 17 libraries which means we will have the lowest number of branches per population in the whole of Scotland by 1 April.
Here's how you can take action - a 🧵:

I had a grand time listening to the one and only @sarasheridan this afternoon, talking about her craft, reading from The Fair Botanist and being throughout thoroughly entertaining and fascinating.
Thank you, Sara! x
Thank you, Sara! x
If you're free I would LOVE, LOVE for you to come to one of the launch events for #ThirstyAnimals
I'll be chatting to some excellent writer pals about water, livestock farms and climate change - and it'll be joyful! (despite some dark subject matters...)

Pretty gravestone carving and a bowing memorial stone today in Scone where I'm giving a talk later. I hope someone brings a copy of The Fair Botanists cos l left mine by the door at home. 😂 pic.twitter.com/TpcREqVboj

We will be able to do better than that today, dear Sara. x
I'm not much better - I always recover slowly from coughs, but a bit every day is what we're looking for and that's where we are. My brothers got it too - we came down after Dad's funeral. Rubbish luck. x
Sickday!? Oh noes! /o\ How about today then, feeling better already? 💕
Noticed you mentioned collagen in a previous tweet, can I ask your opinion on it?
Feel better! 💐☺️ pic.twitter.com/XRjEyfSXjx
one for you if there's to be further Regency shenanigans in the wake of 'Fair Botanists'!
I've just been reading about Martha Mills and this is a lovely way of celebrating her life.
This is my I have Three Thousand Thinga to do face but I'm still a wee bit I'll so I'm going to watch Titanic and eat some oranges. pic.twitter.com/NGlJXyQsW6
Cheers Sara. Hope you're loving auld Glesca toun! X
