Fiona gets access to the National Museum of Scotland鈥檚 Egyptian collection and stumbles on what might be the first smartphone to the gods.

A new exhibition of photographs starts next week in Edinburgh as part of the Magic Festival, focusing on the art of an optical illusion. Professor of psychology and illusion expert, Richard Wiseman, tells Fiona more.

Music lovers old and young are working together on a special event for the opening of the Aberdeen Music Hall this weekend. Andy McTaggart from Scottish Opera is on hand to tell us all about it.

A new anthology of adventure writing, poetry, and art made by women called Waymaking came out earlier this year and Anna Fleming and Heather Dawe, who both worked on the book, explain why it matters.
