When I was editing The Dundee Book’ this was one of my all time favourite headlines from the Courier & Advertiser in the early 20th century. Forget about raves in Ibiza - this was the real thing.

Exit polling, 1837-style: showing Whig candidate Henry Parnell well on his way to beating Conservative John Gladstone to the Dundee seat and some nice thistles-inside-letters typography. This was the Dundee constituency's 5th election.

Last few days for this project which has spun off from the #DundeeRenga, so a wee reminder that @Azjackson and I are coordinating a creative response to #Dundee’s Culture Strategy. Please share with folks you think might be interested in contributing. (1/3)
Gude & Godlie Ballatis@GandGBallatis

Dundee is developing a 10-year Culture Strategy, and the Lead Officer has contacted the #DundeeRenga to ask if we can provide something creative from the poetry community in the city that will go into the strategy document. (1/several)

Before I turn to Ayrshire in my talk on Wednesday, I’ll mention how recording the oral history of spinners and weavers in Dundee inspired me to edit two books and write a play about the city. @dundeelibraries @DundeeLH @DundeeBurnsClub
