Sam Heughan is set to lead New York City’s annual Tartan Day Parade this weekend as the Outlander star says he is honoured to represent his 'beloved home-land'

Today is Tartan Day! The day was first celebrated in 1987 in Nova Scotia and has been celebrated nationally since 2010. Canada's Official Tartan was designed in 1964 by David Weiser. Here are the official (and unofficial) tartans of Canada's provinces and territories. 🧵1/16

'Global trade is part of a food security equation but it’s about the balance of that trade and the nature of it. To be 80% dependent on imported protein is a huge risk.' #FoodSecurity #PlantProtein #Legumes #GivePeasAChance #Scotland www.thenational.scot/politics/259...

Our director Dr DJ Johnston-Smith was very pleased to attend this week a round-table discussion chaired by Europa Nostra’s Secretary-General Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović and attended by representatives of various Scottish heritage bodies. (Image: @shbt-charity.bsky.social) - (🧵1/3)

Facilitated by Royal Society of Arts and hosted by @shbt-charity.bsky.social, in their wonderful Riddle's Court building, it was convened to discuss Europa Nostra's continuing ambition for Scotland's cultural heritage champions to maintain their long connection with their pan-European network. (2/3)

Our 2024 European Heritage Innovator of the Year award, recognising the work of our amazing volunteers and our Rapid Church Recording methodology, provided an excellent example of how Scotland still has a very significant role to play in cultural heritage discussions taking place across Europe (3/3)

A compelling book. It should be read widely; used as a resource in classrooms across Scotland. #TheLowlandClearances #Scotland

Scottish #ArtsAndCrafts, traditional hand-crafted #jewellery, and a solid example of how #Community works. A lovely wee story @oxfamscotland.bsky.social #keepScotlandTheBrand

Three Scottish cinemas have been named among the best in the World by the global media and hospitality brand Time Out

Scotland's reputation for agricultural excellence is recognised and valued at home and across the world. It pays to #keepScotlandTheBrand #FoodAndDrink #Farming #SeedPotatoes

It is my view that #GeneticEditing is useful science, but that it should be kept in the laboratory, not out in fields across Scotland. CRISPR technology offers significant potential for insight and development but I think that Scotland is better served by being somewhere #OrganicFarms can flourish.

It is the view of the #keepScotlandTheBrand campaign that genetic editing technology is useful science, but that it should be kept in the laboratory, not out in fields across Scotland.

“There will be countries all over the world doing the same thing but to be a place where nations can come to get seed, food and drink that doesn’t have any of those concerns is so important, especially if you’re looking at the organic market” #keepScotlandtheBrand www.scotsman.com/hays-way/ple...

Supermarkets have immense influence over the food and drink we see on the shelves and huge control, for better and worse. As customers, we can make the choice to help change things for the better. #FoodAndDrink #Farming #Provenance #Scotland My latest column @scotnational.bsky.social

'MORE than 80% of Scots say where their food comes from matters to them, but fewer than half say they are given enough information about where it is produced, according to new research by the National Farmers’ Union of Scotland' @nfuscotland.bsky.social www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

'We know the people producing Scotland’s food and drink do a solid job of delivering traceable high-quality items. From farmers to food scientists, trading standards [ @fsscot.bsky.social] and beyond, we have a system which works hard to keep us safe' Read more: www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

Businesses which could be doing more can be encouraged to make meaningful changes when we write to customer service departments, speak to managers and vote with our wallets. Send polite feedback to the shops we buy our food from. #keepScotlandTheBrand www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

This is good news for Scotland’s #Dairy sector, and good news for Scotland When we started working to #keepScotlandtheBrand, there were those who derided the issues we raised It is good to see the campaign for Scotland’s brand - supported by thousands of people - now recognised the UK Government

#Scotland produces so many delicious #Dairy products. The Spanish are in for a cheesey treat. Of course, trade across European markets would be so much easier without #Brexit dragging us down But today is a good day for #ScottishDairy #keepScotlandtheBrand

Scotland has always been an outward-looking nation. Our name for quality, culture, and heritage is recognised and valued at home and around the world. It pays to #keepScotlandtheBrand

A fascinating new way to learn about #Scottish history and culture #CarvedInStone #Picts #keepScotlandtheBrand

#Ardnamurchan is a beautiful place, shaped by centuries of history. The Clearances had a devastating impact on the people who lived there but the community endured. This book is the result of three years of work with the people who make Ardnamurchan what it is today: so much more than a postcard.
