Original Export

The exhibition ‘The Original Export’ presently running at the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh tells the story of the pioneer Scots who left their native land and emigrated to various parts of the British Empire. The exhibition is well worth a visit while the Greyfriars Bobby exhibition across the road in the Central Library is continuing to attract a lot of visitors.

We're now working on a time ball exhibition which will be set up at the Central Library in October. The scaffolding's now coming down on the Nelson Monument as the refurbishment project's coming to an end. If you’re visiting Edinburgh for the Festival take a trip to North Berwick if you've time. The view of the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth is stunning.

The seaside town which is only twenty five miles from the capital has first class bus and train connections. The photograph of the Lodge Grounds at North Berwick showing the outdoor aviary was taken by John Lovie.
