He was born in France to French parents then grew up in Wimbledon. Very much a cross-channel Fery.

Love this Mother's Pride Scottie by the Clyde in Govan. Part of the Maggie's Scotties in the City Art Trail, it was created by Steele McTurk and is sponsored by SSAFA. #glasgow #govan #motherspride #publicart #scottiesinthecity

The most interesting thread you'll read today. Take a couple of minutes to read the whole thread though. If you're a woman, don't get AI to write your resume!
Jen Horsburgh@jenatlionraJun 16
I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women. I changed a single variable: My name. Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."

Dun Dornaigil, an Iron Age broch by the Strathmore River in north west Sutherland, 1920s. Brochs are drystone roundhouses found only in Scotland. This one was built at least 2,300 years ago [source: HLH Archives, D1751/2/2/11]

Spotted on Kew Terrace today, this has to be the most Glaswegian sign I've seen in a long time. If you woke up after a night out recently in bed with a hangover and more gnomes than usual, please return them to their rightful home. #glasgow #keepglasgowweird #returnthegnomes

A view of Dun Telve Broch, south-east of Glenelg in Lochalsh. Over 18m in diameter and standing in part to over 10m in height, it is one of Scotland's best preserved brochs and one of a pair that are located within sight of one another. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/g…
A view of Dun Telve Broch, south-east of Glenelg in Lochalsh. The image shows a view of what was originally a partly conical stone tower, with only the wall around the far side now rising to any height and details visible of features in the structure of the wall. The base of the rest of the circle can be seen. There are trees in the background. The scene is in sunshine.

The mountains of the Applecross Peninsula. The image shows a green field in the foreground leading back to a blue loch with some buildings on the right if it. Beyond the loch is a range of dark rocky mountains of considerable height. The sky is blue.

Scotland has some great coastal scenery, but it's seldom more idyllic than at Luskentyre and Seilebost on Harris in the Western Isles. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/h…
The beach at Luskentyre and Seilebost on Harris. The image shows a grassy shore in the foreground, beyond which is a broad white beach which curves round, facing to the left, to a sandy spit of land. In the distance is an island with peaky hills.

Doune Castle in Doune, north-west of Stirling. It's a fine castle built in the late 1300s that featured in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail; as Castle Leoch in Outlander; and as Winterfell in the pilot episode of Game of Thrones. More pics and info undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/d…
Doune Castle. The image shows the castle from a corner view, with the large main tower nearest the camera and ranges receding from it. The foreground is grassy, with trees on both sides. The sky is blue and the sun is striking the left side of the castle.
