Scotland's Missing Forests 120k views in a week. Wonder if Scotgov gets the message. Barren-looking land, even overgrazed & burnt grouse moors, can support natural woodland & biodiversity. This is the story of two pals who went where politicians fear to tread

Very few folk turned out to protest about immigration in Dundee today but there were lots of us there to counter them just in case. We were a strong friendly crowd, singing and chanting all afternoon, reclaiming the saltire and welcoming refugees ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ถ

How about 'Niel Gow's Apprentice' by the marvellous Michael Marra? Mentions 'the fiddle tree' in Dunkeld (Burns used Gow's tunes..). Others have released versions of Marra's song (incl. Fairport Convention).

Finished reading this today. One of those wow books - just reading it made me tired, can't imagine writing such a thing. First published in 2018, I don't know I missed it up till now, especially when, according to the quotes, everyone else in the world has read it already.

I wrote this poem in 2023 when a dear friend was given a terminal cancer diagnosis. She died in mid December 2024 and it would have been her 67th birthday today. I never shared the poem with her because she didn't need it - she already knew how to get the most out of her time:
