Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

#Aberfan #Wales Never forget. 🥺

Love doing a skewed perspective of this Edinburgh street with Barclay Viewforth church at the end. #Edinburgh #Scotland #Autumn #Fall #Church

“If you live in Scotland, if you choose to make your life here in Scotland, then you are one of us.” Scotland belongs to everyone who calls it home. No matter where you're from, your background or your beliefs, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. #SNP26

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday 🐾🐈 Life isn’t about hitting every note perfectly. Sometimes the wrong notes make the most wonderful melodies. 🎶 So be brave, have a go, make mistakes and never be afraid to look a little silly.

Apparently, I now have my own QR code! Point your phone at it & it takes you to MY BOOK. No idea how. No mice inside. Disappointing. 🙄 Could you give it a little share & help more people discover me? The FC calls it word of mouth. I prefer word of MEOWTH. 😹🧡🐾

He definitely would have. 🧊 🌊 🚢

Just ugh.

Elon Musk has no friends

After a rainy & soggy Sunday enjoyed a #blueskymonday walk at Lanark Loch. Love the sausage like bulrushes. 🤎 #Scotland

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Brace yourselves. I have found the most annoying thing on the Internet. Behold: fridge styling. Frankly I think we might as well let our AI overlords finish us off.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

#Scotland It was announced today in the #ScottishParliament that 11 Health Boards are merging into 2 regional entities. I’m in the Shite Bit. …But there’s more of us in the Shite than in the Good Bit - so when the midgie season is over I suggest we all go & have a few words with the Goodies. 🤨

The electrically-powered aerial railway across the Kelvin which was displayed for the 1911 Scottish Exhibition should have been made a permanent feature!

Shocked & appalled by the morally bankrupt #BritishMuseum allowing this cretin a private viewing of the #BayeuxTapestry. 💷😡 …Who’s next? #Beckham ?

Would you like to have a wee look at this 👇 any serious UK journalists? Spoiler alert: no, they won't. @lbc.co.uk #YouYesYet

We were very sad to hear that Dolly Parton has died. Thank you Dolly for all the music, films and books. ❤️ We'll always have Dolly on a Trolley.

#DollyParton Today, the world has lost one of the kindest hearted souls ever. Dolly, her music, her Imagination book library & her joy of life will live forever. Heaven is happy & sparkling, earth is sad & dull.

Wonderful news from #EdinburghZoo #Scotland - Major General Sir Nils Olav 🎖️🇳🇴 is going to be a Dad. 🎉 Congratulations to Connie & Nils. 🤞🐧

Talking of PPE contracts, what happened to Labour's enquiry into recovering some of the money. Absolutely SFA, Mone,Gove, Hancock,Sunak and Harding to name a few. The evidence is there you just have to look for it. As far as Test and Trace how can anyone run a business without records? £37M??? gone.

I recommend singing "Shake it Off" while looking at this photo for maximum effect. 😂 #wildlife #birds #puffin (If you zoom in, you can actually see the water drops flying off of her head).

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday A fresh day brings fresh opportunities to be kind, to smile, and to appreciate the little moments that make life special. Whether today is full of adventures or perfectly peaceful, I hope it leaves your heart a little lighter.

#CommonwealthGames #Glasgow Games so far - Gymnastics. How do they do what they do on a 4 inch wide beam? Boxing. Never watched boxing before. It is a noble art. Athletics. Love track & field. But not in torrential rain, thunder & lightning sitting in an open stand. 💦 Waterproof coat! 😂
