@blairmcdougall @SteveMathewson3 Of course the Scottish Central Bank would have full monetary control over its own currency - that’s what central banks do. There will be a transition period from Sterling to Scottish pound, is that what you are scaremongering over?
On this day 80 years ago: The Waverley was launched into the River Clyde. It's the world’s last seagoing passenger paddle steamer. Built to replace her predecessor, which was tragically lost at Dunkirk, she stands as a shining survivor of world-class Clydebuilt engineering. 🏴🚢

“Anike from Tharau – my treasure, my joy...” On July 29 at 5:30 p.m., the 421st birthday of poet Simon Dach (1605-1659) will be commemorated at the Klaipeda Castle Museum. Baroque music will be played in the Castle Tower, and the poet's life and legacy will be remembered.
