Another week, another protest march...

This time it was Stand Up To Racism - Edinburgh "Reclaim The Streets", in opposition to last week's racist knife attacks in Edinburgh and in support of our neighbours.

There were lots of placards of course. But I particularly liked this one, which summed up the mood well. (Other photos will follow. Sometime.)

Islamic Peace Walk on Henderson St in Leith earlier (in light of the awful racist attacks here on Friday by one of the far right's emboldened thugs). Leith, as a port, has always been multicultural. It's what makes Leith the vibrant & welcoming place it is.

Found this bagged artistic photo blu-tacked to the old Dalkeith Probus Club Presidents board (which hung in the church hall there during my time in Cubs, Scouts & Venture Scouts and is now a crumbling relic nailed on a graffiti wall on Leith). Assumed it's one of those art projects where pictures are left around the place for people to find & take home - so now have it in the flat to frame.

(If anyone knows otherwise, I'll happily put it back where I found it!)
