I’m now available for scanning projects too (up to A3 size). This includes single and bound documents for all collection types. Get in touch if you have a digitisation project I can assist with!

@estaitis Looking forward to seeing this 👍

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@CorrieGloverrr Well said

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@CatherineMacP12 It was spectacular before the shinty game and on the drive home! Apparently that part of the hill hasn’t been burned for a long time.

People who still use “X”, what are the main benefits of the platform?

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@joshsimonstweet Thing is, people saying things like that matters to us in the north of Scotland. Puerile, idiotic comments which your apology does not make up for.

3/3: I’m often reminded that we’re great at inventing lesser versions of ourselves, often accidentally, & selling it constantly & widely. I want to do what I can to challenge that & to be proud, honest, reflective & mindful of the reality of who we are, not the simplified version

1/3: In 2023, one of my aims for the year was to use social media to REFLECT my activities; rather than conducting my activities to FEED social media content. That, I think, was achieved pretty well.

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

2/3: In 2024, continuing on, one of my aims is to use social media to INSPIRE INTEREST in real and deeper things/understandings/people/businesses that inspire me and are part of who I am, as much as being part of the culture and history that this business aims to share.

@arranlouise Oh. My. I’m about to lose a lot of sleep. 😳😳😳

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@P14Murray @N_T_S Congratulations and best wishes for a progressive and positive term.

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@arranlouise Not entirely the same topic: But I’ve been working with someone this week who has inspired me hugely. Amongst other things, he and his now wife agreed to create a new shared surname when they got married. Both taking a new name that they agreed would be their children’s name. 🙏

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@arranlouise A very happy birthday. 🙏

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@CatherineMacP12 I don’t feel like I should “❤️” this, but by doing so I’m recognising how important these things you’re finding are in our understanding of the ever-developing community depletion of the Highlands and Islands. So, for that, thank you!

@NatRecordsScot Did anybody proof-read this tweet before it was posted @NatRecordsScot?

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@arranlouise 😂😂😂🫣🤦‍♂️ (is all I can say to that).

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@arranlouise Yep. Priced for the rich who (showing my scepticism here) probs haven’t developed a adult-life-long career in the Highlands or are unlikely to have been living here long to earn the sort of spare income required to purchase up the land & probably view it as a profitable asset. 😞

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

VERY inspired by this presentation and discussion.

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@arranlouise It’s ridiculous that people don’t realise how using words like “celebrate” for something like this just isn’t appropriate. I’m very willing to be “that guy”.

[Highland Historian @HighldHistorian]

@FoEduSport @derekkeir Happy anniversary!
