@perthartgallery I've recently discovered an ancestor was at Perth Sheriff court in 1836; he was sentenced to 7 years transportation for housebreaking - he was 13!

This image depicts proceedings in Perth Sheriff Court during the 1880s, with three prisoners standing in the dock. The photographer, Magnus Jackson, served as the Convenor of Perth Town Council's Law Committee and as a Police Commissioner.

On the phone trying to talk my 81 yr old technically challenged mum through reconnecting her iPad to the internet & then to FaceTime her. She is insistent she hasn’t got a WiFi symbol or a camera icon. Losing the will to live when she says I’ve got a fan and a hot water bottle 🤣

@UoD_Archives_RM @HSofDundee @McManusDundee @AbertayUni Interesting seeing all the secession churches - many a result of the Disruption of just 20 years before.

@CPKArchives My mum, from Dundee, was stationed in Perth while in the ATS. Tullylumb Terrace was pointed out - not sure if that was billet or office. She also spoke abt GAFLAC and Norrie Miller Pav - she loved dancing!!

The British psychedelic folk group The Incredible String Band with support from McGuinnes Flint appeared here #OnThisDay in 1973. Were you a fan and did you get to this concert?
Plus Duran Duran came calling in 1982 on their sold out UK Rio Tour. #cairdhall100

@Eddy_Bobbins I loved my visit to Pudsey in 2019! 5 hour train journey but it was so worth it - we have nothing like it here.

A reminder that we (and the #peskyknittedcavemen) will be at Pudsey Lace and Craft Fair on Saturday 11th November. There will be many other fabulous lace suppliers there as well. It should be an enjoyable day as always. Please note the change of month from usual.

@Wickes So. Scott. Your apology was similar to the other 3 scripted apologies, apologies with no follow-up. Just re-enforces my complaints. That go like this.
I phone with my problem.
I get apology.
I get a promise...
Repeat x 3.
And still nearly 4 weeks later
NOTHING.

@Wickes whatever you do don't buy flooring from this company. If your flooring comes damaged and you need to return it and get replacement no one knows how long you will wait... I've made 3 calls and had 3 order conformations in 3 weeks but still no flooring...Be careful...

@Wickes Reposting as this still hasn't been resolved. Customer services are doing nothing except say "someone" will call - no-one ever does. I will continue to repost until I get satisfaction.
