• Blog Invader #1: Liah Moss

  Author of Tumblr blog Design Outside the Box, Liah Moss sent us an awesome video of the projection mapping on the facade of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (22 George Street). Visit her blog to view it.

  "I think it's great to see projection mapping in Edinburgh and would love to see more of it here.

  I think it worked really well - contrasting old architecture and transforming the space into something unusual and spectacular.

  It brought people out of their everyday lives and made them look up, and perhaps more aware of the architecture around them."

• Blog Invader #2: Lizzie Cass-Maran

  Lizzie tweeted this at last friday's enLIGHTen tour organised by Edinburgh City of Literature: Off to @EdinCityofLit #edLIGHTen tour with @AriCassMaran.

  We asked her to share her experience on the tour.

  "The Adam Smith display opposite Waterstones on George Street vied in my head for first place – and afforded me a nice debate with my neighbour afterwards about the origins and changed connotations of the word ‘enthusiasm’ – but my favourite piece was probably the puffersphere on Charlotte Square. It’s a quite mesmerising display and I can imagine standing in front of it for ages, losing myself in time (and probably being bumped into by the odd tourist).

  Next, to visit the website and listen to the ‘responses’ from local writers and poets; I’m so pleased Edinburgh City of Literature have included living, working writers in with the celebration of historical masters."

• What are Clicket Blogs?

Every Friday, Clicket peruses the weekend calendar of arts and cultural things to do in Edinburgh. We decide on 3; one on Friday, another on Saturday and (why not) a third on Sunday.

On our #FollowFriday tweet, @ClicketEdin recommends the folks who present these events and venture out – camera in hand and hearts expectant.

It’s not a retrospective blog though. Because we do our best to tell you what’s on next in those places we’ve been to so you can use our nifty “My Clicket” tool to plan your own weekend’s itinerary. Do remember you need to have registered and logged in to be able to make use of this part of Clicket.
