Over £20,000 of £70,000 raised so far to save Parton Kirk. Video in thread below explaining why you want to help save the kirk with the Astronomer Royal of Scotland and a local councillor.

Here's a link to a video with Parton Community Councillor Paul Hodgson and Scottish Astronomer Royal Professor Catherine Heymans discussing why the kirk needs to be saved and the importance of James Clerk Maxwell.

Please boost this for as much reach as possible.
Parton Kirk, where #physics genius James Clerk Maxwell is buried, is being put up for sale. The community is attempting a buy out to save this kirk for science and the local community. They have until 31st of October to secure the funds.
Here's the crowd funder link. You can help prevent this kirk from falling into private hands. -

Happy birthday, James Clerk Maxwell (b. 6/13/1831)!
John Nefastis & Stanley Koteks still believe in your demon.

I don't envy them that! And nonferrous zippers and button snaps, come to think of it...

I found out today that the wee kirk at Corsock, which was campaigned for and funded in part by James Clerk Maxwell and his father. It contains a stained glass window tribute to JCM.
Videos about JCM in link below.

You might know the Beatles song Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. (Not one of their seminal works, one might think.) Is the Maxwell in question James Clerk? OK, not that fun so far, but here comes the bombshell:
The Finnish version of the song is called Paulin Taikakaulin, which means Pauli’s Magic Rolling Pin. Can this Pauli be anyone except Wolfgang? Another physicist! Deep.

'For the sound of a chorus of voices
Came gathering up from below,
And I heard how all Nature rejoices
And moves with a musical flow.
I would barter the world and its glory
That vision of joy to prolong,
Or to hear and remember the story
That lies in the heart of their song.'

Doing some #research and came across this #poem by #physicist #JamesClerkMaxwell
#history #stem #Scotland #physics'Alone on a hillside of heather,
I lay with dark thoughts in my mind;
In the midst of the beautiful weather
I was deaf, I was dumb, I was blind.
I knew not the glories around me,
I counted the world as it seems,
Till a spirit of melody found me,
And taught me in visions and dreams.'
