#WhatWereReading : Joe found Professor Anna Whitelock's The Sun Rising (pub Bloomsbury) to be a fascinating insight into the change from the Elizabethan to Stewart period, laying foundations for a more global Britain afterwards (for good & ill!).
Less a biography of James, more about the world changing around him, at home and abroad (in a seemingly ever expanding world as ships explore more and more of the globe), and how he and those around him react or change to those.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind is an annual exhibition in Edinburgh by artists with mental health issues. Always interesting, and it has occasionally included my work.
Anyway, they’ve lost all their funding and are crowdfunding this year’s exhibition. Please share this, and consider donating.

The Book of Kells: Was it made in Easter Ross?
25 March, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye & online: free
The Book of Kells is often called the world’s most famous manuscript, but its origins are shrouded in mystery. Dr Victoria Whitworth challenges the consensus that the Book was made in the island of Iona, making a case instead for the Pictish monastery of Portmahomack.
