Unexpected rabbit hole: a rather public dispute between the MP Cathcart Wason and the Melsetter estate owner Thomas Middlemore about roads in Hoy #Orkney early 1900s. Was looking on the BNA for info about the road over the Ayre of Brims. #Newspapers #OnePlaceStudies #NorthWallsAndBrims

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I had one of those about 50 years ago as I struggled through my compulsory one year of Latin! Long gone but your photo triggered the memory. It’s funny, but to this day I still get some use out of that one year of classes, Latin roots do explain a lot 😊

Honestly can’t imagine not being willing to pay a small fee to have the absolute privilege of seeing the sun rise over the Holm of Papay.

At the point of entry, airport, ferries which covers everyone not an additional burden on hotels and B&B’s which could put them over the Vat threshold.

FWIW having just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Orkney - I would have been more than happy to pay a tourist tax, especially if it helped offset the downsides of tourism.

SR Crockett (1859–1914) was born #OTD, 24 Sep. A bestselling author of 60+ novels, he fell from fashion, his books dismissed as “kailyard”.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Claiming the right to self-governance has undoubtedly been the greatest of our achievements. September 19 will forever be cherished by #Kittitians and #Nevisians. And justifiably so. www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com/our-ancestor...
