This week's Top 20
Before we kick off this week’s Top 20 I’d like to share this image above for our great friends and neighbours Fraser and Sharon Murray.
Last Sunday Fraser ran an ultra endurance race in memory of their son Iain who they lost suddenly in May 2023 from an undiagnosed heart condition. If you have a spare few quid please check out Fraser’s justgiving page.

Lovely selection Tom! I wanted to click like several times - again!
I was lucky to catch some noctilucent clouds in D&G this winter. They are quite extraordinary.
I was also going to say thanks for bigging up The Edinburgh Minute - we are so very lucky to have this for our neighbourhood.
19, 14, 7 and 3 are my favoured images, but yet again a fine series to post!😀
