Super first day @OralHistorySoc conference. A pleasure to talk about @SWInstitutes @HeritageFundSCO #Heritage, in stimulating company, and lovely to close the day at #Glasgow City Chambers. Can't wait for tomorrow!

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve secured funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund! 🎉 This will help us protect and conserve our incredible archive and collections, ensuring they inspire and educate future generations. shorturl.at/K1pIx

Our first Hybrid Conference was a great success, bringing together 170 women from up in Orkney through to South of Scotland. A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day a fantastic one. We're excited to continue developing the SWI community action plan!

Congratulations to Susie Lowe who has been nominated for the global Food Photographer of the Year award for this beautiful pic of Peter & Seòras at Guardswell Farm for my cookbook Hebridean Baker at Home. Isn’t it the most stunning pic, do you think she should win?

It's #IWD24! Very timely as we begin a SWI Heritage project to conserve the past for the benefit of inspiring future generations of women and girls.

One year ago, I successfully applied for a funded place on the @SchSocEnt Heritage Trade Up programme. Yesterday, I graduated and am now an alumni fellow of the SSE. It was only made possible by the @Heritagefunduk, and for that, I am thankful! #feelingproud #skills
