Interested in all things historical, especially Scottish history. I relax by cultivating my allotment garden.

The Keep has a real presence on this island. I was sleeping within a few metres of it and, naturally, it appears from time to time.

📍@CWGC Varennes Military Cemetery 🇫🇷 where John Dalziel Rollo from Dreghorn is buried.

John was a joiner by trade and played for @Medda1897 as an Inside forward before joining @KilmarnockFC in 1914.

@MP100782 Very well deserved you two. Its a great experience. Enjoy.

[Tony Pollard @ProfTonyPollard]

A very productive day working on @Mapping1982 which included humbling conversation with a veteran of Tumbledown. It’s my privilege to count him as a colleague and a friend but aware of how difficult this time of year is for veterans of 1982. @DigWaterloo @WarDiaryF82

Back to Kingsman. The @UofGlasgow link to assassination of Rasputin was Stephen Alley, who studied maths here in 1890s. Returned to Russia where born & working for British Intelligence was prime mover in the killing (it appears). https://t.co/Ama0tmXrTM thanks to @DrTimPeacock
