The papers of Edwin Morgan, one of Scotland's most important modern poets, and first Makar or national poet, are also held by @nlsarchives. Identity and love are central to his poetry, and his writing about gay and queer experience had a profound impact on social attitudes.

How did linoleum change Kirkcaldy? We've installed a small temporary display in Moments In Time at Kirkcaldy Galleries looking at the buildings which didn't survive to the present day. You can see this during regular opening hours until the 17 April 🏚️ #FlooringTheWorld

There’s still time to visit Methil Library’s exhibition of old photos featuring industries along the #RiverLeven throughout the years, which have now disappeared. It’s really worth popping in & having a look if you’re in the area. Closes 31 March 2022. #FifeBeacon #LocalHistory
