The Edinburgh Gig Archive - Leith Town Hall/Citadel
http://www.edinburghgigarchive.com/page14.htm
Leith Town Hall on Ferry Road, was used for concerts during the mid seventies, from The Wombles to Kraftwerk, and everything in between! Briefly changing it's name to the Citadel Theatre. Leith Theatre frontage. Thank you to. The theatre interior. Thank you to. For the photo. ©Shona McMillan. When AC/DC played here in 1976, Angus Young made good use of this balcony, running along the length of it whilst playing his guitar. The theatre stage. Thank you to Shona McMillan. Thank you to Al McNab for this scan.

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections: January 2012
http://shonamcmillan.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Friday, 13 January 2012. FRIDAY 13th - LUCKY FOR SOME. However, the phonecall is not the point of the story BUT without it, a chain of events would not have been set in place. Still, it was lovely to be out and I had some bread in the car so I decided "feed the birds and then go to the charity shop". That awful moment when you realise that some ungrateful seagull has just. "Hmmm! Oh dear" she said, "All on your back, lucky y...

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections: BEES - here today, gone tomorrow?
http://shonamcmillan.blogspot.com/2013/06/bees-here-today-gone-tomorrow.html
Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Tuesday, 25 June 2013. BEES - here today, gone tomorrow? Well, that makes a difference (NOT). So here is a story: I plant my garden for NATURE. No it is not the tidiest garden and sometimes I get irritated when snails eat my bedding plants. But, hedgehogs visit my garden and eat the snails. Indeed, some years ago there was even a badger (once). My dad would gather and scatter poppy seeds. These orange ones scattered by him).

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Sunday, 27 May 2012. FLY SCOTLAND'S SALTIRE: NO OLYMPIC BAN. The Saltire flag - as with any country's national flag, the Saltire is one of Scotland's most iconic of symbols. The home of the flag originates at Athelstaneford in East Lothian where legend has it that the sign of the flag first appeared as white clouds on a blue sky before a winning battle. And, what Scot is not inspired by the Saltire proudly flying. Click to v...

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Monday, 31 December 2012. When Dreams Come True. A New Year is just about to begin and at the start of a new year I always find myself looking back and forward. The most encouraging words in 2012 said to me from a friend -. Remember - eventually, the cream rises to the top". Words applied to 2013, which by 2014, will have helped me. To have made yet more new dreams come true. Looking back from 10 April 2014 I can see.

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections: April 2012
http://shonamcmillan.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Friday, 20 April 2012. I've had to be in London a few times this year, dashing down from Edinburgh and back again for the shortest of stays - so rushed I didn't even take my camera! However, this last trip has been longer - still very busy (with little time for photos) I had my camera with me and was struck by what I observed as I waited to cross a road. From a limo to a home in carrier bags (the expression "there but for th...

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections: A Flower of Scotland, R.I.P. Margo MacDonald
http://shonamcmillan.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-flower-of-scotland-rip-margo-macdonald.html
Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Saturday, 5 April 2014. A Flower of Scotland, R.I.P. Margo MacDonald. Yesterday, talking of his wife's passing, Jim Sillar's said " the brightest light in the Sc. Ottish political firmament has gone out". One who can manage just fine - but maybe you'd take the arm of a stranger? It's Margo MacDonald.". An independent, Margo was like a one woman army! The light that shone through Margo has gone out but her legacy lives on.

Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections: Thank you Barney McKenna (RIP)
http://shonamcmillan.blogspot.com/2012/04/thank-you-barney-mckenna-rip.html
Shona McMillan Celtic Reflections. SCOTTISH LIFE IN PHOTOS, FILM, MUSIC AND ART. Thursday, 5 April 2012. Thank you Barney McKenna (RIP). I lost a dear friend today, as did many others around the world, for Barney McKenna made friends wherever he went. I first met him in January 1991, I would never have known the exact date (many years on) but it was then because I had gone to do a short interview with the Dubliners on a Friday evening. Finally, I left them to return back to work on the Monday. PEOPLE OF ...
