Photo: A sad wee face
Portrait of a squirrel monkey at the Edinburgh Zoo. While the Living Links monkey house has lots of space and lots of ropes/branches and food, there were lots of bored looking monkeys too. Mind you, if you locked a bunch of humans up they’d look bored too.

Water rushes over the rapids in the River Almond, in Cramond in Edinburgh.
Photo: Quartermile clouds
Clouds reflected in the windows of one of the new (and empty) office buildings that are part of the Quartermile development in Edinburgh on the site of the old Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, just north of the Meadows. Designed by Foster and Partners, it is an interesting and mostly successful juxtaposition of old (i.e. late Victorian) and glass-fronted high-modernist architecture.

A window-slit cut into the Moray sandstone that lines the broch that forms the entrance to the National Museum of Scotland extension, built in the late 90s and designed by Benson and Forsyth. There is a mimoa.eu architecture project on the building.

Photo: Dunbar propeller
A 4-ton propeller at Dunbar harbour in memory of Robert Wilson, a local man who is one of (at least) four men from across the world who have a claim to have invented the ship’s propeller in the 1830s.
Photo: Brooding Vulcan
The Avro Vulcan, a jet-powered delta wing strategic bomber on static display at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune. Despite the aircraft’s relative rarity, describing it as a ‘static display’ is a misnomer – the Vulcan has clearly been parked and left to rot, as is not uncommon for the outdoor displays at East Fortune.
