Conscious I am late to this - but reading #DavidGreig's wonderful novella, #ColumabasBones, just outstanding. I dont really enjoy fiction, but every so often I make an exception. This is a remarkable book. www.churchtimes.co.uk/media/569346...

How difficult would it have been to recognise the authority of the Assembly. What a foolish man Lindsay was.

Thank you for highlighting this. May I ask, but can you recommend anything related to slavery and HEICS?

What a pointless and unnecessary piece of legislation. It’s already illegal, there is already a sanction. www.bbc.co.uk/news/scotland

I needed away from it’s bile and all too frequent racism. But Bluesky feels a bit bland. All too consensual. 🤷‍♂️ perhaps we’re never happy.

This all sounds very positive. What a good start to the day.

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

Did you see that there are food shortages in Germany? German government is now advising people to stock up on cheese and sausages. This is called the Wurst Käse scenario.

My heart shatters like waves on the quay, Leaving Stornoway, the ferry’s low plea. Each swell a lament, each ripple a shard, Lewis’s embrace slips from my guard. Through salt-streaked glass, the grey winds moan, A fractured love borne on tides unknown.
