This is a young red squirrel that its mother has been bringing into the garden. Plenty of exploring to be done amongst the hawthorn #Aberdeenshire#Scotland#RedSquirrel
Since 2014 the UK government has overruled Scottish Parliament decisions on devolved matters more than ten times. Some partnership. Some equality. #IndependenceIsNormal#Scotland
Two MPs who represent English constituencies will go head-to-head in ITV's 'UK' GE24 debate.
No-one representing Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland is allowed to take part.
There's that 'equal union' for you. #IndependenceIsNormal#Scotland#ge2024
Is it really true that #Scotland's womens' football team is playing #ISRAEL at Hampden this weekend? How is this being allowed? What are we going to do about it?
OK, it’s not Sunday but I needed some cheering up. From an afternoons running to, and round the Crawick Multiverse. Worth a visit, in most weathers if you find yourself in Dumfries and Galloway.
Lesley Riddoch here arguing, essentially, that we all have to bite our tongues, haud oor whischt, and vote #SNP, because "they're the only parliamentary route to #ScottishIndependence. I count Lesley as a friend and as someone I greatly respect, but I think she's wrong here: there is no longer a parliamentary path to independence.
@Loukas Voters will return, I think, and in very large numbers. I cannot see #Starmer's government being anything but a huge disappointment to voters in #Scotland.
But I think it will make no difference. The #SNP could win 80% of the vote in Scotland and Westminster would still not concede #ScottishIndependence; and, unless they can recruit much more able people, as long as the SNP seek to be in government in Scotland, they will never achieve that large a share of the vote. >>>
Finally got round to downloading my archive from Insta & deleting everything from my account. I don't use it, no point leaving them with all my photos.
I need to upload them to my website, & reckon I've a fair few silent Sunday pics from it, but here's one in the meantime.
I'd forgotten all about this & I just love it. I mean, how could you not love someone playing the bagpipes for an oversized rubber duck?
The amazing collection of sculptured medieval graveslabs in the lapidarium, originally a burial aisle, in the churchyard at Kilmartin Church in Argyll. These are some of the more recent historical wonders to be found in Kilmartin Glen. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kilmartin/kilmartinstones/index.html
Destroying the planet we live on -- the only planet we can live on -- is of course totally legal and even supported and subsidised by governments around the world (including #Scotland's).
But PROTESTING against destroying the planet? That's illegal. That's very, very illegal. Don't even think about doing that.
Today on day 5 of my trip to #OuterHebrides#Scotland was a day to never forget. I had booked a tour to #StKilda, a formerly inhabited archipelago of small islands 70 km into the Atlantic. And although not cheap, it’s worth every penny. Just. Simply. Breathtaking. The birdlife is insane, their numbers unbelievable. 25% of the world’s #gannets (Jan-van-gent) breed here, as well as 300,000 puffins, 80,000 fulmar (Noordse stormvogel) etc etc
#NC500, your poison has worked. I'm not going to cycle in #Scotland this summer. For the first time in 20 years I just don't feel any longing to see Scotland this summer.
Thank you, NC500 🙁 You've made my trip last year just too memorable in a negative way.
Delighted that I’ll be able to vote in the #ge2024 for an eco-socialist candidate.
I can’t vote SNP again whilst they proudly platform folk like Cherry in my old constituency. I don’t say that just as a “disgruntled” voter but as a queer Indy activist which picked up the role of an SNP branch organiser in her constituency after Alba defections.
The only choice for me in this election is the @ScottishGreens
