In the Middle Ages, they had the Feast of the Ass on 14 January, allegedly to celebrate the Donkeys of the Scriptures.

We go back to the days of the Hundred Years’ War in our 8th #winterfolklore tale and meet an ass for the occasion.

What she brays is a hearty “hee-haw”, of course… is it?

The photo captures the light-filled interior of the Grand Gallery at the National Museum of Scotland, a space renowned as one of Scotland's most beautiful and iconic architectural achievements. The design is a stunning example of Victorian engineering and aesthetic principles, heavily influenced by the ground-breaking architecture of Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace in London. The dominant feature is the soaring, barrel-vaulted glass roof, which floods the entire atrium with abundant natural light, illuminating the multiple levels below. This impressive structure is supported by a graceful, intricate network of slender, decorative white cast-iron pillars, arches, and trusses, which create a rhythmic, almost skeletal pattern overhead.
The vertical perspective emphasises the grand scale and volume of the atrium, which extends upwards over four storeys. Sweeping iron balustrades on each of the multi-level balconies create elegant horizontal lines that guide the eye deeper into the space. These walkways are busy with museum-goers, adding a sense of life and scale to the vast space.
On the ground floor, many people are milling around diverse displays and informal seating areas, gathering on the original decorative Minton & Co. tiled floor. A prominent, dark, sculptural object rests near the centre foreground of the floor, drawing attention. A large, complex, multi-level installation known as the “Window on the World” dramatically rises through the very heart of the atrium, showcasing a diverse array of more than 800 individual objects curated from the museum's extensive and eclectic collections. This central display acts as a visual anchor and a focal point, symbolising the breadth of the museum’s holdings in natural sciences, world cultures, science & technology, and art & design. The atmosphere is a dynamic blend of architectural grandeur, historical significance, and a vibrant, active, modern museum environment where learning and discovery are encouraged.
