This an excellent thread but I would push it back to the Jacobites, many of whom wore tartan and highland dress as an expression of support for the Stuarts.

I'm 35 this weekend so I'd like to know when I'm going to stop dreaming that I completely forgot about an entire A Level subject, haven't attended the lessons, and now have to take the exam?!

Obviously everyone thinks their kid is amazing ( and they are). However there are loads of appropriate books out there.

If you were a frustrated genius—a math prodigy stymied by the laggards surrounding you—I get the angst. But please recognize your child is probably not. Regression to the mean and all that. They are probably a normal smart kid who wants to be a normal smart kid.

Did you know that in Scotland turnips were traditionally carved before pumpkins became popular? 🎃 original video📷IG/buzzedblooms #Samhain #TurnipCarving #PumpkinCarving #Halloween

Why isn't every town and city in Scotland charging a modest tourism tax? It's ridiculous and would help with maintaining the infrastructure.

You know what literally no one ever has a blast doing some of the things that they apparently have a blast doing.

Another Scottish church and local landmark about to be demolished. Having bought the unlisted, late-19thC, Gothic, former Methodist church in 2017 its current owners, who own the building next door, have now decided renovation is "financially unfeasible" (📷: Google StreetView)
