The Gàidhealtachd is shrinking. What a loss to Scotland the loss of Gàidhlig as a mother tongue would be. The loss of the language began as an intentional crushing of culture imposed on a people. Gaelic now is at a tipping point, explains @wodieskodie.bsky.social

Canna beat a morning roll (many names exist for this delicacy across Scotland and have done for many, many years, including 'bap') The well-fired version are a favourite, too. Delicious with many different fillings. Morning, noon, or night #keepScotlandtheBrand

Ooooooh! This looks like being an excellent event: finding new ways to tell Scotland's story, and the myriad tales of countless people of have helped to shape our communities. It's not just the 'big tales' that matter, Sometimes, the most fascinating glimpses and insights are found in the mundane.

"...if you can order a morning roll, and realise in that moment that you’re part of a chain of 500 years of Scots doing exactly the same thing, that’s powerful.” Peter Gilchrist @tenementkitchen.bsky.social makes the case for morning rolls, or baps. What a delicious way to #keepScotlandtheBrand

There is something very worrying about this erosion of respected Scottish research and education facilities Speaking to academics who say universities, etc., create crucial knowledge but the real profits go to private organisations. Maybe time for a rethink? www.heraldscotland.com/news/2645203...

Salmon farming makes a fortune. The sector is important to the Scottish economy, but fails farmed fish horribly with terrible impacts on wild fish and the marine environment. Scotland's brand should be synonymous with high animal welfare and food standards consumers can trust We have to do better.
