Got to love the @scotathletics National Cross Country Champs where athletes from track, road & the mountains battle it out over tough undulating grassy and muddy courses. Some great racing in Falkirk today, with the Senior Women's event in particular a highlight. #LindsaysXC

@WightmanGeoff @keelyhodgkinson @FasterFeet @JennyMeadows800 I read that tweet and thought is @WightmanGeoff really 66? And what's he been up to? Did a riot break out at the local quiz league? I should pay more attention to proper news. Or maybe not... Anyhow, well done @keelyhodgkinson , fantastic run!

Never mind your GB curlers or your 66th birthdays spent at a police station. This is the imagery we are all here for today. World indoor 800m record. Congrats to @keelyhodgkinson @FasterFeet @JennyMeadows800 (Brenda). It was destiny.

@theiaincameron @HighlandHistory @Spurtle284 No idea other than somewhere west...

@HighlandHistory This one's got me stumped. Not sure if @Spurtle284 or @runnermdj have any thoughts.

Here's today's #mysteryphoto (no. 382). It was taken apprximately 100 years ago by M.E.M Donaldson so it is very likely a west coast scene but could be anywhere from the coast of Mid Argyll up to Arisag/Morar. If you recognise it, please get in touch I'll update both this and no. 381 on Monday

@theiaincameron Unbearable...😁

Can’t believe I spelt ‘grisly’ wrong. The shame of it.

On an unassuming Edinburgh street there are what appear to be two manhole covers. They are in fact the base of two gallows where the last highwaymen to be hanged in Scotland met their grizzly end in 1815. They were hanged on the exact spot where they committed their crime.

Well done to @Linlithgow_Acad S1 pupil Rose Martin who won the Year 7 British Schools Orienteering Championships at Hopetoun House, and to S5 pupil Hanna Brindley who won bronze in the Year 12 competition.

Lydon not Lyon, another auto-correct error!

Finlay not Findlay (auto-correct error - apologies!)
