@ArnoldClark Following your message about the cyber attack I took up your offer and signed up to Experian, today I received a message from them to say that my email has been sold on the internet. This is serious stuff but I guess you just don’t care.

@ArnoldClark @ACHelpTeam I received the alarming email about the very worrying data breach. I accessed the link to Experian but instead of 24 mnths cover I find I am only covered for 12 mnths. The data breach is shocking enough, but being conned by your offer - all unacceptable.

Before our independence, the then President of Ghana, Nkwame Nkrumah gifted my father this kente cloth, my father cut it in half and gifted KK the other half. At our 50th Independence celebrations, KK wore his piece as he did on 24th October 1964. We buried my father in his.

This is very sad news from @EastLothPolice about the Yester Castle near Gifford and its "Goblin Ha".

If anyone visited since July and took pictures inside the Ha get in touch with police to help narrow down the period when this scheduled site was looted for its dressed stone.

📷Pioneering photographer Robert Adam was born this week in 1821.

He founded Scotland’s first photographic studio in Edinburgh with David Octavius Hill. They were the first to realise the artistic potential of photography by creating thousands of dramatic images.

5. Trolling lure (c.1840s) from New Zealand:

"Māori fish hooks are made to be both practical and visually appealing. Fish would have been attracted to this hook by the colour and flashes of movement created by the iridescent pāua shell and feather."

@painteyhands @FOWarristonCem @freja_fashion So many of those lovely old pines have fallen in the last couple of years, I do wonder why that has happened.
