Diagram showing he differences between a healthy female bird bone with medullary bone and a pathological bird bone with avian osteoporosis. For each there is a global scan of tibiotarsi whole bone in lateral view, a micro-CT 3D cube reconstruction, and microCT cubes highlighting osteocyte lacunae. In between a box with writing "Differences include: Structural anisotropy, Connectivity density, Trabecular thickness, Osteocyte lacunae orientation".

Former Portioner's cottage, dating from 1690, in Carmunnock in Glasgow. A portioner farmed a portion of land that was allotted to them by the local land owner. The roof would originally have been thatched, and remained so until around 1900
