Happy St Andrew's Day! And what better day to have Gaelic and Scots recognised as official languages in Scotland: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9891455007o

The Scottish Languages Act, which MSPs voted through in June, empowers parents to ask for a Gaelic school to be established in their area and aims to ensure that more qualifications are available in Gaelic. We explored what it means #StAndrewsDay https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/06/20/the-scottish-languages-act-opportunities-and-challenges/

The Little White Rose
(To John Gawsworth)

The rose of all the world is not for me.
I want for my part
Only the little white rose of Scotland
That smells sharp and sweet—and breaks the heart.

—Hugh MacDiarmid, “The Little White Rose”

At the nursing home seeing my old maw, they have a piper on the go for #StAndrewsDay
Fortunately we are a couple of rooms away so it the perfect volume to hear without being over powering.

“His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools -- the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans -- and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, 'You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink.”
Terry Pratchett; Small Gods

#StAndrewsDay #poetry

I thought it might be nice to wish you all a happy St Andrew's day (patron saint of Scotland, amongst others) with a nice tweetcart I made a few years ago for it that is no longer on another website I don't use any more. But, while I can find this nice gif I made, I can't find the code for it anywhere, not even in the PICO-8 backup folder 🙄

If it turns up I'll add it here, I guess.

Anyway - happy St Andrew's Day!😀

Happy #StAndrewsDay to the #scottish mastodoners

I don’t know much about #poetry, but every now and again I remember I should probably do something about that.

Anyway, it’s (near) Thanksgiving 🇺🇸 and it’s St Andrews Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so here’s something about being an outsider in Scotland and gradually realising it’s become your home. And I’ve completely loved it since I first read it years ago, but I don’t think I’ve shared it here before.

I married a McDouall so I hafta celebrate #StAndrewsDay

But seriously, NO HAGGIS

This is the oldest written record of my ancestors that I've found. At the bottom of the page is a note mentioning the marriage of Alexander Clacher and Christain Larnach (not sure of that spelling!) on June 11 1720, in #Watten, a small village in #Caithness. They're my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents. Happy #StAndrewsDay y'all! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🍻 😁 #Scotland #Ancestry #History
