Harryhausen comes to Edinburgh

If you live in Edinburgh - or are planning a visit - you are in luck! The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art will be having special exhibit next May, 2020.

For those of us who love films, the history of films and special effects get redy for Ray Harryhausen: Titan of Cinema. Several of Ray's models have been restored for everyone to really admire and appreciate up close and in person.

Check out some of the photos here.

For tickets and other information check out the Gallery's web site.

The fact the Scotland’s space sector is flourishing will surprise no one who has followed the development of companies such as Clyde Space. I do, however, remember a certain Tory MSP referring to Scottish space ambitions as “science fiction”. https://t.co/uHLQjwNVWH
