PIC(T) of the day. May you be as happy as the c.1,200-year-old '#Pictish Beast' (a dolphin, an elephant, a dragon?) from the beautiful early #medieval Rodney's Stone, situated on the Brodie Castle estate in Moray, #Scotland. 🐬🐘🐲

1️⃣ 🏛 @HorneSupremacy translation of @repubblica article on the glass-ified #Roman brain: 'Perfectly preserved human neurons have been identified in a victim of the eruption that in AD 79 buried Herculaneum, Pompeii and the entire Vesuvian area up to 20km from the volcano...'

Mini thread 🧵 on the news that 'Glasgow dock that featured in film 1917 to be restored', we imagine as stage one of the planned commercial and heritage development of the site news.stv.tv/west-central/g…

We move from Germanic East Anglia to eastern Germany now. This is part of the Zwinger, a baroque palace garden complex in Dresden for the rulers of Saxony. Stunningly beautiful.

From Germany to #Glasgow: this is the glorious Main 'Gilbert Scott' Building at the University of Glasgow (@UofGlasgow). It was largely built between the 1860s and 1880s. The #WW1 Memorial Chapel completed the west quadrangle in 1929.
