I headed down to Abbey St Bathans in the Borders to photograph James Dobie for Scottish Forestry's Integrating Trees Network. James farms a 1,400-acre upland sheep farm on an estate that's been in his family for over 250 years, and he's a brilliant example of how trees and farming can work hand in hand. I shot portraits of James on the farm and captured the landscape to illustrate how he's integrated woodland into his land management, from shelter and shade for livestock to t

The group were among the first to see the results of this major restoration, part of the Garden's ambitious Edinburgh Biomes project. The A-listed Georgian and Victorian glasshouses had been closed since 2022 for a complete overhaul of their crumbling stonework, rusting ironwork and fragile glazing, and the transformation is stunning.

I recently filmed a fascinating workshop at Leith Academy, where pupils embarked on an innovative project to create a 'data driven actor' - a robot designed using VizBlocks to express emotions of characters in a story written by the students themselves. The pupils were hands-on in designing their robots, programming them to react emotionally to data, effectively bringing their stories to life. This project was an exploration of their experiences living in a world that's both

The Lyceum commissioned this series of short videos to help audiences get a glimpse of the talent and excitement behind this new stage production of Local Hero. The cast and creative team travelled to Pennan, exploring the locations used in the original film. Watch the interviews below. A wry comedy about a man who sets out to buy a beach, but ends up losing his heart to a village, Bill Forsyth’s magical Local Hero takes to the stage with new music and songs by the legendar
