vcdnrw, German "Die schottische Hauptstadt hat Werbung für Fluggesellschaften und SUVs sowie für Kreuzfahrtlinien und Öl- und Gasunternehmen verboten. Aktivisten bezeichnen dies als „historischen“ Schritt im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel."
MartKroS, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the whole of The Netherlands should follow this example! ASAP!!! #Edinburgh #BanSuvAds #BanCruiseAds

CelloMomOnCars, Amsterdam banned ads related to fossil fuels and flying, a few years ago.
Snoro, Edinburgh council bans SUV and cruise ship ads in climate crackdown
Allowing adverts from fossil fuel industry is ‘inconsistent’ with net zero target, it says

cynblogger, @Snoro
This makes excellent sense to me. If we collectively are to hold off the existential calamity of #ClimateCrisis, a good portion of our consumerist economy will take a huge hit — even as some is replaced by more sensible options. Wholesale tourism would be at the top of my list of sacrifices to the gods, even as I too have indulged in unnecessary air travel in the past.Good for you, Edinburgh council!
Peternimmo, #Edinburgh Council moves #homeless from emergency accommodation to make way for #tourists coming to a #TaylorSwift #concert. Shelter Scotland: "it is obviously shameful that a major event in the ‘festival city’ should have such a significant knock-on effect for people experiencing homelessness". Imho it says something about our priorities as a society that we will just push #vulnerable people out of the way so we can be entertained

priscillaharing, One day in beautiful #edinburgh what to do?
So far I'm planning on 2 (maybe 3) charity shops and high tea at Luckenboots and walk around the centre
Any other tips?
priscillaharing, @eclectech we didn't make it to the roof but we did play the pipes
eclectech, @priscillaharing Ah, there is no shame to getting distracted by something when you're there, it's that kind of place 🙂

MacNaBracha, @rticks Don't think it's anything to do with SNP or ScotGov. It's a Labour/Tory council as well.
rticks, @MacNaBracha well that explains it. Ew.

patrickhadfield, Summerhall, an arts complex in Edinburgh housed in a former veterinary college, is being sold.
This is a petition to hope it remains a centre for visual arts, music, dance, theatre and film. It also houses a brewery and a gin distillery, with an excellent pub, so it's got something for everyone!
It's a brilliant space throughout the year - not just during the Fringe!

ScotHomestead, @patrickhadfield What’s happening to the tenants? It has a lot of offices too, mostly charities.
patrickhadfield, @ScotHomestead according to the Skinny (an Edinburgh arts magazine), "All planned events, including Summerhall's upcoming shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, will take place as planned, and Summerhall Management Ltd say all existing tenant leases will remain in place, with tenants given the option to extend."
But who knows for how long?

patrickhadfield, I've just seen Evie Waddell in Edinburgh's TradFest. I'm not well versed in traditional folk music, but this was just brilliant. She sings in Gaelic, Scots and English, and signs many of her songs. She even taught the audience how to sign some bits. She also acts out the words and dances.
Her enthusiasm is so infectious! The whole thing was simply wonderful.
If trad/folk is your thing - or even if it's just good music and a great time - get to see her!
