Morning all. In case you missed my posts last week, The Edinburgh Minute has left Substack and is now on its own platform. Read more about the reasons behind the move here.

See you there! Michael PS. here’s what the new website looks like:

Hopefully you won’t notice, but starting from tomorrow my daily emails to you will look slightly different. That’s because I’ve moved The Edinburgh Minute off of Substack. Your newsletter will still arrive daily and you don’t need to resubscribe. Even if you’re a paying subscriber, nothing will change and the price remains the same: £5 per month or £45 per year. Without paying supporters, the Minute wouldn’t exist, so thank you to every single person who backs it and keeps it going.
