I don't often complain BUT we are now into light nights and the excuse given by the National Records of Scotland's "management" to close the NRS at 4pm Mon to Fri doesn't wash any more! @ScotlandsPeople and @NationalRecordsofScotland are management going to change back the hours at all?????

At Aintree Family History Fair for #IHGS. All set up and ready to go tomorrow. Any previous or current IHGS students about, come and say hi!

Just had a fantastic time at New College, Edinburgh researching George Smeaton, Theologian and Free Church Minister. Massive Statue of John Kox in the courtyard.

I'm on the hunt for a portrait of Peter Burn Swinton who had been the factor of the Yester Estate in Gifford from 1856 to 1911. The artist was Geirge Fiddes Watt a Scottish portrait painter. I'm contacting the National Portrait Gallery. Welcome any suggestions.

@bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social @acspring.bsky.social suggested I chat to you about finding a portrait of Peter Burn Swinton painted in 1906/7 by George Fiddes Watt. Can you help?

Anyone seen "That Christmas" on Netflix? It's fabulous. Love it. Watched it twice already. Ed Sheeran's song and Coldplay at the end make this a real treasure for the family x

A reminder for our RQG members that the CPD members meeting session is this Wed 04 December 7pm (UK) via Zoom, details in the RQGHub #CPD #Genealogists #FamilyHistory @regqualgenes.bsky.social

And librarians are the keepers/defenders of words.

Today after giving a talk to @sogorg.bsky.social one of the hosts told me that their ancestor had been the factor of Yester Estate before my ancestors Peter Burn Swinton! Small world. I feel I'm meant to find out even more. Love accidental genealogy 🥰

Just attended a performance of 1514 The Musical. It was really good. The legend was well told. Boy did I struggle with the Hawick words! 😁. @wendytm.bsky.social

@ihgs.bsky.social Today at 12noon I will be giving a tutorial on the Thistle Chapel and Scottish Heraldry. Still time to book on.

Looking to hook up with genealogists #genealogy

Had a fantastic time on Friday afternoon at St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh with a lovely group of Students from Strathclyde University. My talk on the "The Thistle Chapel - Heraldry at its best" was well received. Great to show off heraldry in my all time favourite place.
