The Signet Library.
I noticed there was a exhibition on at the upper floor of The Signet Library, David Eustice: Thereafter. I'd never heard of him, but it gave me chance to see the library an iconic building for Scottish solicitors in its location adjacent to Scotland’s Supreme Courts complex on Parliament Square.
While some of the art, which is modern, was okay, I enjoyed the library for what it is a lot more.
While the collection of books, dates back many years, the building it is now housed in was built just over 200 years ago.
The grand opening of the Signet Library building is linked to its use during King George IV’s visit to Edinburgh in August 1822. The king used the Upper Library as a reception room prior to a great banquet held in his honour in neighbouring Parliament Hall. On seeing the room, the king reportedly declared it “the most beautiful drawing room in Europe.”
If you're in the area during the next week or so the exhibition is on until the 13th, , 10 am – 4 pm each day, it'll be a nice peaceful retreat from the hullabaloo of the annual Festival Fringe that you will have passed on your way in.

Geek nightmare

Take a Walk
Yesterday after a wonderful dinner with our family we headed out to our local library’s Wetlands Trail for a walk. The clouds yesterday evening were amazing.
They were dark and light with bursts of sun coming in here and there.
There was even a little bit of snow left on the mountains from Cato on Wednesday.
The walk takes you through a neat marshy, wetland. There were lots of birds and…
