We also now better understand how passengers get to the station. Our colleagues in ScotRail are surveying passengers three times a year, and from their work we can now see that walking is the most popular way that people get to rail stations. Walk/wheel 36% car 26% bus 13% cycle 7% other 17%

Glenfarg viaduct, Perth & Kinross, Scotland.

Comprising 4 arches, the viaduct crosses the river Farg and B996 near to the village of Glenfarg. Until 1970, it was used by trains on the Edinburgh to Perth line.

Enormous thanks to Perth & Kinross Council Archive, who checked a document reference this morning for me. I found a young black boy in a household in 1773 Perth, and want to add it to an academic journal paper I'm finishing. The digitised Ancestry image missed the pencilled ref number. Verified now.

My statement for the Perthshire Advertiser:

The introduction of rent controls will be a big step forward for people in Perth and Kinross, and will finally help to end the imbalance of power between them and their landlords.

The rental market is broken, and fundamental change is needed. Rents in
Image of headline in the Perthshire Advertise reads 'Calls for rent controls', alongside a picture of Mark.

This cairn sits atop a low mound in upper Glen Lyon, Perth & Kinross. It commemorates local man Robert Campbell, who had a notable - if not exactly glorious - career as an explorer and trader in Canada, becoming the first European to explore the upper reaches of the Yukon River.

Explored the wonderful Perth Museum today, and was very pleased to see their modern take on the subject of museums and their collections.

Sad that such an approach would be branded as "woke" back home and derided.
Pictured is a sign advising visitors entering a gallery of exhibits in the Perth Museum, Perth, Scotland that reads: "Loot Around the time the collections displayed in this museum began to be amassed in 1784, a new word entered the English Language. 'Loot' is a Hindi word meaning 'stolen goods' and was used to describe the widespread plundering of Northern India by the East India Company. As people from Perth & Kinross emigrated or travelled to capitalise on the opportunities which an expanding Empire offered, they sent or brought back evidence of their interactions with other cultures and societies. These interactions were often predicated on state and corporate violence, exploitation, extraction and corruption. Museums were founded on and perpetuated this power dynamic through the ways they have displayed and represented different cultures. Museums articulate and exercise power. Whose stories get told and whose don't? Who is represented and who is erased? Who gets to tell these stories and who has the right to hold these objects? This gallery examines some of the circumstances in which this collection was acquired. It explores some of the ways in which abuses of power in the past can start to be redressed."
