1998 was the last time that Scotland & Jamaica played in the mens football world cup. Today Scotland & Jamaica play matches that mean they could qualify for the world cup for the first time since then. Scotland play Denmark & Jamaica play Curacao. Come on Scotland & Jamaica!

Great to see the head of the Scottish Episcopal Church @secsynod is on an ecumenical pilgrimage in Jamaica just now to learn about the legacy of slavery & the part played in it by the church. Let's hope there are productive meetings! #OurSharedStory https://t.co/GdJhY1gqZ3

We're so saddened by this news. Ibo was very interested and passionate about his Scottish roots and was willing to support and assist Flag Up in any way he could. May he rest in peace. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇯🇲

Great news from Edinburgh tonight! https://t.co/RMVrn3swBf
