This weekend we walked the Aberdeen costal path and explored the city centre. The art gallery was amazing! The colour of the granite used in the old buildings was so devoid of colour, even in the bright sunshine. A relaxing getaway. #Aberdeen#travel#Scotland#AberdeenCoastalPath

Check out Volume 10 of our newsletter, we have a collection of upcoming regional events, mutual aid requests, and local news. With the election looming we take some time to discuss the candidates and their positions, which all essentially align with the current push for gentrification and eradication of the poor.

We had about 50 people at the protest outside the NSTA (North Sea Transition Authority), formally Oil & Gas Authority, the 'regulator' which 'approved' the Rosebank oil field development.
Hope all the other protests went well and. None of this is going to change by voting, everyone needs to organise and get out into the streets!

“The team unexpectedly found the 5.5-foot-long (1.7 meters) carved stone while doing a geophysical survey in Aberlemno, a village with Pictish roots. The stone has several geometric shapes showing abstract Pictish symbols, such as triple ovals, a comb and mirror, a crescent and double discs. Some of the carved symbols overlap, suggesting that they were carved in different time periods, the researchers said.” #archaeology#aberdeen#scotland [march 23/22] https://www.livescience.com/pictish-stone-discovered-scotland
