Me too! Just disappointed that the advertised community bottling had already sold out 😫 Not a great introduction to the company/scheme when that was advertised as a major ‘perk’!

Farewell old friend. It’s been the greatest of pleasures getting to know you. A quarter of a century in the cask but unfortunately only a minute or two on the lips! #Whisky

One of my favourite hidden treasures of #Edinburgh and @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social is this 11th century Swedish runestone, to be found tucked in behind one of the main teaching buildings on George Square. Most people seem to walk past it and don’t notice…

Time to say farewell (with a sizeable pour) to this old friend. It’s been one of my absolute favourite whiskies over the last few years. Benromach from a bourbon cask hitting the spot perfectly. Aberdeen Whisky Shop don’t half pick some amazing exclusive bottlings #Whisky

Very excited to be opening the doors of our Department of Anatomy @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social to the public tonight to host a celebration of World Anatomy Day 2025. Loads of fun hands-on activities being readied, museum displays tidied up, and talk slides uploaded! #Edinburgh #Anatomy

Got me a bottle of the first ever independently bottled Lagg from the Isle of Arran!! 5 years in a first fill bourbon cask. I’ve never tried a Lagg before, so wish me luck 😂 #whisky

Time for some #Whisky on a nice Sunday afternoon. Got lucky and managed to snag a bottle of the new Thompson Bros mystery malt release. Let’s see what Lady Luck brings me form this possible list…

I’ve really enjoyed the audiobook of @peteralanross.bsky.social new book on my commute this week. Gentle warmth combined with a deep sense of connection to times long past. Highly recommend 👍

A simple, yet profoundly moving and consoling, reflection on life and the need/want to reminisce from one of Scotland’s great thinkers. Highly recommended
