We have been enjoying following Bookbug's journey round the Western Isles libraries, particularly the unseemly way he was jammed between the door handles at Lionacleit 😀

Bookbug ann an Uibhist
Mar a bhios Bookbug a’ gluasad bho eilean gu eilean, tha na h-abairtean Gàidhlig a’ còrdadh ris air an t-slighe! Is e abairt an latha an-diugh:

⛴ Tha an t-aiseag a’ seòladh = The ferry is sailing

It's #SaferInternetDay and LOOK - Steven Robertson, also known as Sandy - the only actual Shetlander in the 'Shetland' police station - has been in reading a story!
It is #Goldilocks by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross, a cautionary tale of the trouble you can get into online. Be careful out there 💻😱🙂

Love this from @coastarch.bsky.social. Submerged forest (coastal) including the (red) remains of a c7,000 year old Willow, on near-treeless #Benbecula in #OuterHebrides. scapetrust.org/lionacleit/

Submerged forest and archaeology in Benbecula - The SCAPE Trust

Investigations of an intertidal area at Lionacleit have revealed an extraordinary discovery of ancient woodland, prehistoric settlement and a unique Early Bronze Age butchery site.

Four schools across three islands yesterday. Visits to Sgoil Lionacleit, Sgoil an Iochdair and Sgoil Dhalabroig to meet with SMTs and pupils then over to Barra to meet with the Castlebay School Parent Council in the evening. A great day spent in schools with staff, pupils and parents.
