Well, what a great evening of music-making at St Mary’s, Haddington. Concerto Copenhagen with an intriguing programme of 17th-century music by composers from the Baltic and North Germany. Jakob Bloch Jesperson was the soloist - a wonderfully mellow and warm bass, both powerful and delicate.

I collect old photographs of buildings and places in Scotland. I have now scanned a few of Central Edinburgh and stuck them on my website. Do have a browse (better on a laptop than a phone, but both should work): www.conserve.scot/edinburgh-ol...

Last February I visited the Astley Ainslie Hospital in Edinburgh - to see the buildings rather than as a patient. Finally produced a short blog post historic-hospitals.com/2024/08/30/a...
It's a cracking site - and I hope the building below finds a new use.
