Worst attempt at annual leave almost at an end! Feeling very Kenneth More [Colin Maud] on the Normandy beaches for my return. If you see me carrying a shilleagh and ranting about placements this week, I’m okay, don’t be overly concerned!

My burnt respiratory system had some view of this! 🫣 Was on the platform about ten ft from the tree as the cables blew ⚡️
⚠️ Our teams are responding to multiple fallen trees damaging our infrastructure. 📸 These images are from Drumchapel where a huge tree has come down onto the overhead lines. ⛈️ Work will continue throughout the storm to assess and repair damage.

Great day with @WFASouthScot branch members at the @TheWFA Scotland Annual Conference. Brilliant lectures by Prof Sir Hew Strachan, Prof Peter Doyle, and Nick Hewitt to name a few.

David Carter delivering an excellent presentation to the Branch yesterday about the Quintinshill Rail Disaster on 22 May 1915. Many thanks to Branch members, and friends of the Branch, for making it such a successful event.

“Flags are never just pieces of fabric. They are symbols that carry deep emotional weight, representing identity, loyalty, and belonging. But they can also divide, intimidate, and exclude.” A few thoughts on the flags appearing in towns and cities… https://t.co/sXZaaZTQdQ

Chamberlain - you see God in you. Trotsky - Honeymoon, serenade the naked. Che Guevara - you're all target now. Pol Pot - withdrawn traces, bye bye. Farrakhan - alimony alimony. Without this album and without Revol I doubt I would’ve been a history teacher!
‘The Holy Bible’ turns 31 today. Released on 30th August 1994, the Manics’ third studio album remains one of their most intense and uncompromising statements. Do you own it on vinyl, CD or even cassette? Got any rare pressings, promos or memorabilia from the era? Share your

Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park skatepark (1978-1983). I’m hopeful of being able to soon announce details of a week of skateboarding heritage & archaeology here later in the summer. #HalfpipeHeritage

A sad loss is Terrence Stamp. For me, General Zod was larger than life. A reminder of how a single performance can shape our imagination and stay with us forever. Proof of the lasting power of character.
