@RangersBear55 @NotFarLeftAtAll Pretty sure that was in an episode of Dr Who in the 70s. Jon Pertwee won.

First thing that comes to mind ..

@goinggoinggalt @RoyalFamily Research 'HillBillys'. Late 1600s settlers who remained loyal to King William due to his guarantee to protect freedom of religious expression when both the Spanish and French were persecuting those of the Reformed faith. It's a lot deeper than "showmanship garbage".

@RoyalFamily Meh. We kicked the "king" of England out 250 years ago. It amazes me anyone still bows down and puts up with this showmanship garbage.

Parks and Rex! 🏕️ The King has spent time at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachian Highlands.   ⛰️ The Blue Ridge Mountains are among the oldest in the worldand the Appalachian Highlands were, remarkably, once connected to the Scottish Highlands as part of a single mountain chain.   Conservation efforts at Shenandoah include those aimed at preserving the iconic bald eagle, which was at risk of extinction in the mid-1900s. 🦅

@IndigoFast @LivvyJohn From 2000 - 2006 28,988. The claim that only 6 were built in 2006 relates to new builds started directly by local authorities, not by Scottish Executive.

@LivvyJohn How many did anglo-Labour build then 🧮? Fewer than the amount they continued to sell-off continuing Thatcher's brainfart policies I expect 😑

Never forget Kevin is a liar. He’s lying. A flat out lie. He won’t be missed from the Parliament.

Absolutely loved the BBC ‘101 Great Goals’ video as a kid. Used to watch it all of the time. So many memorable goals. Steve Perryman’s goal vs Burnley in 1970 here….

@The_Tman10 @JimSpenceDundee Used to get a roll and mince from the wee grocers in West Blackhall Street in Greenock. Pretty sure it was dried mince which they added hot water to , stirred and waited a minute. Quality .

Only place ive ever seen this was in Dundee. Seem to fire anything on a roll including mince 😂 Roll n Peh seems to be a real favourite up there @JimSpenceDundee is it anywhere else in Scotland genuinely never heard of a roll in pie or mince in Glasgow or Edinburgh before i signed for Dundee 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

@JohnSwinney My recycling bins weren't collected today. Can you sort out please. Happy to provide details in DM.

In serious times, I offer serious leadership. I will cap essential food prices because people are struggling and it is the right thing to do. And I will stand firm against Nigel Farage and the far right. Vote SNP to lock Reform out of government in Scotland.

@Obanlad1970 They don't have a big enough squad.

Falkirk get to the Scottish cup final , do they rest players the week before ?

@67Ronmac @onefrontier @histories_arch Surely they were, in the same way that the Gauls were Western European?

@onefrontier @histories_arch Picts weren't british

The Picts did not fall... That is the strange thing at the centre of their story. They were not conquered by Rome, though Rome tried. They were not destroyed by the Angles or the Vikings, though both pressed hard against the edges of their world. They did not end in fire or massacre or the kind of catastrophic military defeat that closes other chapters of early medieval history. They simply stopped being Picts. By the middle of the 9th century, the people who had controlled much of northern Britain for five hundred years had merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dalriada to form the kingdom of Alba, the political foundation of what would eventually become Scotland. The merger was not sudden. It was not clean. Historians argue about whether it was primarily political, cultural, or dynastic, whether the Picts absorbed the Gaels or the Gaels absorbed the Picts or whether something genuinely new emerged from the collision of the two. What is harder to argue is the outcome. Within a few generations, the Picts had become invisible. Their language disappeared, leaving almost no written record. The few Pictish words that survive come mostly from place names and the names of kings preserved in later lists, scraps of sound without enough context to reconstruct what surrounded them. No Pictish manuscript tradition survives. No law codes. No literature. No religious texts in their own tongue. A people who had maintained their independence against the most powerful empire the ancient world produced left behind less written evidence of themselves than almost any comparable culture in early medieval Europe. What they left instead were the stones. Hundreds of them, scattered across the Highlands and islands of Scotland, carved with a visual language that nobody has fully decoded. The symbols appear again and again across different stones and different centuries with a consistency that speaks of meaning, of a shared system understood by the people who made them, but the key to that system did not survive the merger that ended the Pictish world. Spirals and crescents. Stylised animals of extraordinary elegance. Geometric designs of a precision that required both skill and intention. The stones are clearly saying something. We do not know what. This is what makes the Picts so compelling and so frustrating in equal measure. They were not a marginal people. From roughly the 3rd to the 9th centuries they controlled most of northern Britain, built fortified settlements, engaged in complex diplomacy with their neighbours, and maintained a cultural identity distinct enough that everyone around them recognised it. Roman writers noted them. Later Gaelic and Northumbrian sources noted them. Medieval chroniclers recorded their kings in lists that suggest an organised and continuous political structure. They were present, powerful, and noticed. And then the noticing stopped. The kingdom of Alba that emerged in the 9th century was in many ways a Pictish kingdom wearing Gaelic clothes, or a Gaelic kingdom built on Pictish foundations, depending on which thread you pull. The kings of Alba traced their legitimacy through lines that included Pictish royal blood. The territory was overwhelmingly what had been Pictish land. But the name was gone, and with the name went the identity, at least as a distinct category that the people themselves maintained or that outside observers continued to apply. What drove the transformation is still debated. A dynastic union under Cináed mac Ailpín, known to later tradition as Kenneth MacAlpin, is the conventional starting point, but the conventional starting point has been questioned and complicated by subsequent scholarship. The reality was probably messier and slower than a single king and a single moment of unification. These things usually are. #archaeohistories

@Fyrishsunset @markthehibby Gaslighting. Very deliberate. Accuse your opponents of which you are guilty of.

Liz Lloyd pontificates about “dodging scrutiny” 🤔 But why are huge swathes of Scotland’s media still in thrall to Sturgeon & Lloyd when the rest of us just wish they’d both get tae Vietnam?

Manchester Police are on the hunt for a drag queen who robbed a local store. They say he's a local man with a Wigan address.

@KerryFail Goal kick by ex celtic Scott Bain. Aye ok.

State of Falkirk here, a goal kick just booted to noone and Gers thru on goal. Add this to the first goal where they all stop and the 2nd the defender just collapses, you would think the players are all Gers fans. Someone ask McGlynn about that 😄

At the time I thought look at the goalie, he follows the ball the whole time and doesn't claim it's out. This proves it anyway.

For Rangers...so many east end experts but probably @ACSOMPOD
