It was #OTD 125 years ago that the novel Dracula was published . We thankfully didn’t find any vampires lurking in our stacks but we did find these beautiful bats in A.Thornburn’s 1920 book ‘British Mammals’ #LibraryTwitter

Scotland may be better known for Golf, Rugby, Football and Curling but for @ARAScot #Archive30 #sportarchives we thought these sport were just as interesting. Egg and spoon race, Pillow fight, Three legged Race and the ever thrilling Potato Race

It's #TravelTuesday and we may not know much about #LoveIsland, but we do have an 1800's book about Scottish Privateer Alexander Selkirk, who survived over 4 years as a castaway on an island and was the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. His sea chest is in our collection #history

It's #BurnsNight tonight where we celebrate the life and poetry of #RobertBurns . From our Special Collections is this rather unusual and gruesome little booklet by Scottish Lawyer and Phrenologist George Combe about the Bard's skull 💀

Our library will close from tomorrow for Winter Break, but we will be back again on 5th January to help with your enquiries.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Xmas and New Year, and we hope to see you again in 2021!
