I have cleaned-up this fascinating autochrome of James Thin (famous for his chain of bookshops), who was born 202 years ago (in Edinburgh on 23rd March 1824), making him (so far as is currently known) the earliest-born person ever to have been photographed in colour. He is seen here in the garden of Ashlea House, Stow, at the age of 86. It is original colour, not colourised.

Incredible day of music at @edintfest This morning a virtuosic recital by one of my favourite pianists, Pierre Laurent Aimard. Then a riveting, devastating performance of Julia Wolfe’s oratorio Fire in My Mouth with Marin Alsop @philharmonia and the superb @NYCOScotland
