Really enjoyed speaking with Porty George about their fantastic plans for this cinema. I hope one day (soon) I'll go and see a film here!

The community campaign to save The George cinema not only inspired Sarah McArthur to write about it, it inspired another brilliant writer Victoria/V.E. Schwab to support the cause. Find out why here.

I explored CCWEL and Leith Walk #cyclepaths for myself last week- and it felt like Edinburgh is (finally) turning a corner on cycling infrastructure. Thanks as always to
Cllr Scott Arthur ๐๐๐น and Spokes CycleCampaign for your thoughts

I had no idea Edinburgh's #folk #music scene was so rich- not just its history but it's present day. Thanks so much to Edinburgh Folk Club for inviting me along. More to come on this topic soon! The Edinburgh Inquirer edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/stay-tuned-rโฆ
As a stereotypically Scottish #whisky -lover I had a great time researching this one. Thanks
BRUICHLADDICH DISTILLERY and North Uist Distillery Co. for chatting with me about the intersecting #environmental and #social benefits of good rural businesses.
There's nothing I love more than giving good publicity to good things.

Thoroughly enjoyed editing this piece for @FORESIGHT_CE -- wonderfully written and narrated by Sarah McArthur. A sector with unique #decarbonisation challenges but with lessons that many can heed. #whisky BRUICHLADDICH DISTILLERY
Could Edinburgh be the next Ghent? On Thursday I had a fascinating evening listening to Laura Laker and Cllr Scott Arthur ๐๐๐น discussing #Edinburgh 's ambitious #transport plans.

I recently wrote about what it's like to be a #JuniorDoctor in the #NHS - in this article for The National, I write about why.
Thanks to BMA Scotland, and to my anonymous interviewees for insights into a our complex #healthcare crisis

Enjoying getting back into audio content with FORESIGHT Climate & Energy where better to start than a good old moan about trains?
Turns out it doesn't have to be so bad- thanks RSSB Frederic Rudolph for explaining the complexities and potential Britain's ailing railways

Thanks to all for the healthy debate this evening - very pleased to hear comments from businesses, drivers and pedestrians as well as cyclists.
Thanks to Emma and Ewan for ensuring we behaved, and Laura Laker for making sense of it all.
After the decision to curtail #HS2 , the UKโs #rail sector is left directionless. Creating a #lowcarbon #transport market is central to #decarbonisation efforts. The potential is there if the lawmakers can decide which track to take foresightmedia.com/story/sB9aVvl2โฆ by Sarah McArthur

NHS staff dissatisfaction is reported on little and poorly (imho).
This is my first attempt at changing that - more insights on a Scotland and UK level if anyone's interested.
Thanks BMA Scotland for the chats
