You suggested I add a wee tips payment option - for when you don’t want, or can’t afford to subscribe but would like to offer something as a “Cheers mate, enjoyed that” gesture. So here is a link to do just that.
Last night Calton Hill thrummed to the rhythm of ten thousand beating human hearts, and the drums of the Beastie Drummers. You couldn’t have asked for better weather although the Reds would maybe disagree as they slowly thaw out today after a night of near nakedness outdoors.
There was also the Flower Moon decorating the sky - these two were just spectators but had brilliant headwear.
Arthur’s Seat summit was busy too.
I will have. a few more over the next few days so keep yer eyes peeled.

Brilliant photos, as always. Such a privilege to be part of the procession as Torch Bearer and experiencing the liminal space in that space between the Beltane Court + the audience.
What a great-looking time!
