Scotland’s a sense of change, an endless becoming for which there was never a kind of wholeness or ultimate category. Scotland’s an attitude of mind. —Maurice Lindsay, “Speaking of Scotland” published in COLLECTED POEMS 1940–1990 Just in case anyone was wondering about Scottish identity…

Speaking of Scotland
Maurice Lindsay

What do you mean when you speak of Scotland?
The grey defeats that are dead and gone
behind the legends each generation
savours afresh, yet can’t live on?

Lowland farms with their broad acres
peopling crops? The colder earth
of the North East? Or Highland mountains
shouldering up their rocky dearth?

Inheritance of guilt that our country
has never stood where we feel she should?
A nagging threat of unfinished struggle
somehow forever lost in the blood?

Scotland’s a sense of change, an endless
becoming for which there was never a kind
of wholeness or ultimate category.
Scotland’s an attitude of mind.

I'm from a small town in Ayrshire nearby, still took about 40 years to find that out. Been trying to identify a fish-like sculpture visible from the Edinburgh-Glasgow Central via Shotts line around Holytown for years.

I murder hate by flood or field, Tho’ glory’s name may screen us; In wars at home I’ll spend my blood— Life-giving wars of Venus. The deities that I adore Are social Peace and Plenty; I’m better pleas’d to make one more, Than be the death of twenty. —Robert Burns, “I Murder Hate” #BurnsNight #C18

I Murder Hate
Robert Burns

I murder hate by flood or field,
Tho’ glory’s name may screen us;
In wars at home I’ll spend my blood—
Life-giving wars of Venus.
The deities that I adore
Are social Peace and Plenty;
I’m better pleas’d to make one more,
Than be the death of twenty.

I would not die like Socrates,
For all the fuss of Plato;
Nor would I with Leonidas,
Nor yet would I with Cato:
The zealots of the Church and State
Shall ne’er my mortal foes be;
But let me have bold Zimri’s fate,
Within the arms of Cozbi!

The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

LOOK AT OUR BEAUTIFUL BOOKBENCH! ❤️ It's 1 of 41 large Bookbenches (and 38 small Bookbenches) waiting to be discovered in a public art trail created by Book Bench Trail in support of Clan Cancer Support which helps people impacted by a cancer diagnosis across the North East of Scotland.

A white bench created to look like the open pages of a book, covered in reflective glass fish. Outside Orkney Library & Archive.

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

🚨 Last night JK Rowling attacked The National as an "anti-woman newspaper". I think that is absolutely ridiculous chat. Here's my open letter setting out why this kind of attack does not work on our team. www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...

JK Rowling called our newspaper 'anti-woman'. Here's my response

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn» En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på. Veldig fin video Oslo Pride🌈

As a staff team, we stand in solidarity with the trans community and are appalled by today’s judgement. We are working to read and process the judgement in full and will put out further information in the coming weeks.
