P6 had an amazing day at Holyrood Park learning about Iron Age Scotland with the Historic Environment Scotland rangers service. Thank you so much to all the staff involved. We learned lots of interesting things and had lots of fun!

A few more toads helped into Dunsapie Loch this morning 🐸 Amazing how easily they can squeeze into cracks in the pavement! #HolyroodPark

During spring, toads are busy migrating overnight in #HolyroodPark 🐸 The ranger team found 48 toads this morning! All collected from the road and released into Dunsapie Loch 😀

There's another chance to join our Holyrood Park Rangers for a #WomensHistoryMonth tour of the park tomorrow afternoon.

You can discover the stories of some of the women who have shaped the park, from medieval saints to modern social reformers.

Have you watched the latest version of 'One Day'? Holyrood Park looked amazing in the opening episode!

HES teams facilitated three days of filming in the park back in July 2022. These behind-the-scenes snaps from Netflix show the cast and crew near the summit of Arthur’s Seat

Gorse cutting is not too bad when you have a view like this 😁🗻 Great work by some of our hard working volunteers recently 💪🪓

🧵1/3 Emma and Henry were back at Holyrood yesterday, helping the Rangers with essential maintenance before an afternoon steeped in history!
