Happy World Architecture Day! Edinburgh's centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site almost 30 years ago, for its authentically preserved examples of town planning in the Medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town. Here's some of our favourite buildings, what's yours?

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Whilst the public were locked down, and we (healthcare workers and other key workers) risked our lives, Borris Johnson was breaking the rules and enriching himself. He should answer for his crimes in a court of law RT if you agree. https://t.co/sv4GbYHanr

📝Yesterday I submitted my petition demanding the removal of the 9:30am start time for disabled bus passes. ❌Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am & neither should disabled bus passes. 🤝Thanks to organisations supporting this campaign. Together, we’ll break down these barriers!

For this year’s @Glasgowdodf I thought I’d go slightly mad and do a talk ‘Glasgow 850 -  The evolution of a city’ in which I compress 850 years of Glasgow’s urban history into an hour. Can I do it…🤔? If you fancy finding out then why not join me at the ARC in the @UofGlasgow
