Had a great night at @RoyalArmouries with @classicsforall, celebrating our annual Impact Awards. I was proud to celebrate Emma Noble from @stambrosehigh, whose stellar work in growing Classical Studies there is emblematic of the powerful impact teachers can have on their pupils!

[Classical Association of Scotland @CAScotia]

Congratulations to Emma Noble, a very worthy winner of the 2025 Scotland Network Impact Award with @classicsforall. We look forward to supporting Emma to expand Classical Studies further in the coming months!

@AlexImrie23 @RoyalArmouries @classicsforall @stambrosehigh Many thanks for the nomination and the support you have given us @AlexImrie23 we couldn’t have done it without your help!

Not sure how many folks still use this platform, but I hope you will share notice of a new scheme designed to spur interest in Classics in the state sector, with help from friends at Glasgow Academy.

Places in N5 Latin, Higher and Adv Higher Classical Studies classes available!

The Highland and Island Emigration Society was set up to encourage and assist thousands of people leaving Scotland to travel all the way to Australia instead of countries like Canada that were cheaper and easier to reach.

Macquarie was born on the Isle of Ulva, just a short ferry ride from Mull and worked his way up through the ranks of colonial Britain to become Governor of New South Wales in Australia.

He played a huge part in transforming the area from a penal colony into a thriving settlement

Here's a special place in Scotland for the Australians! This is the mausoleum of Lachlan Macquarie - the Father of Australia who was born on this day in 1762.

It's found right in the middle of the Isle of Mull and rather surprisingly owned by the National Trust of Australia

@rogueclassicist But there’s no UK release date…?

[St Ambrose History and Classics @StAmbHistory]

Thank you to former AH History pupil @ShipyardVoices for coming in to speak to the current class about his educational journey to PhD student and about student life in general. Always lovely to see a FP excel in the subject :-)

It's owner, William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, played an absolutely enormous role in the reign of King Robert I, promoting Bruce's rights both within Scotland & abroad. A lot of Bruce's success, particularly in diplomatic terms, was thanks to Lamberton's energy & skill.
