NEW: Organ tuners have been leaving temperature and humidity records in little-known books for decades. 🎹
They reveal how temperatures inside churches have changed over time due to climate change and increased heating.
A new scoop for The Reengineer!

An 'extraordinary' wind at Tarbat, Easter Ross, broke an 'obelisk' #OTD in 1674, according to local Sir George MacKenzie. Research by Sally Foster suggests this was the Hilton of Cadboll Pictish cross-slab, whose break left its lower section buried. 📸National Museums Scotland #medievalsky

Ahead of releasing the next part of my Spiorad aird nam Murchan writing & photography series, I wanted to re share the previous ‘Elemental V - Spirit’ part:
