Amongst the architectural features, heritage and physical beauty of our #ScottishCarnegies series, the quality and sensitivity of the staff stands out. Here a librarian helping a young borrower feel valued: ‘the youth are the architects of tomorrow’s world’ as Carnegie said!

Edinburgh’s Central Library, still a thriving free public library as Andrew Carnegie envisaged when he endowed 2,500 across the world. ‘Palaces of Learning’, ‘Centres of Democracy’ he dubbed his gifts to encourage learning and debate. #7in our tour of #ScottishCarnegies

Lovely designs for some #ScottishCarnegies mostly in Dundee - all of which were implemented! Note the tiny car depicted outside Blackness Library. Some great architecture…

Crumlin Road yesterday - someone parked on double yellows, on the pavement and over the cycle lane (apparently enjoying a picnic?) Someone else in a yellow box, and protruding into the cycle lane. What chance for cyclists?

Donegall Road Belfast, y’day And before the anti-cyclist trolls pile in: - one car on (advisory) cycle lane - one on pavement (2beyond) - yes I could cycle around them, like the ambulance, but that takes confidence And pls don’t tell me they were all emergency lifesaving jobs!

Does anyone recycle used blister packs in N Ireland? Apparently Aldi do it (they’re not trading here) and Boots do it, but not in NI..,

Can you spot daylight through our ceiling? We’ve located a devious little leak - a water pipe within the building’s structure that damaged wood, gypsum and plasterboard, then fed the buddleia which send billowing tendrils down two floors! Maintenance is essential for heritage..
