Perhaps staged footage, but very real for the participants: my great uncle, Robert Wilson, (alas no pic) professional soldier and veteran of the Boer War, serving with the British Expeditionary Force, lost his life at this battle just a few weeks after the war began. He is entered on the rolls ar Edinburgh Castle
@Empireaesth Walk wide o the widow of Windsor for half of creation she owns, we’ve bought her the same with the sword and the flame, and salted it down with our bones
@treesforlifeuk@murrayJamescoo1 They hate the sound of running water and will instinctively dam it up. A photograph of my man made pond (outside Scotland) after these incredible engineers have blocked a spillway pipe
Here is a potential topic for the podcast. I was visiting Rob Roy’s grave in Balquhidder and also saw that a very cruel and tragic event occurred there in the cemetery in 1558. See photograph.

@Malcolm_Offord Scotland will never be a lost cause! 🏴

Back in the day, Greenock Academy and Paisley Grammar were great local rivals. In that tradition Andrew, I must disagree.
Never give up on Scotland. We’re gonna turn this around!
@alexmassie Well said. If marginal tax rates are too high it’s also much more difficult for individuals to accumulate capital, and that will have an impact on new venture formation, and ultimately, economic growth
@Rombodog@ruth_wishart Yes, it seemed pre planned and he knew how Greer would likely reply. He had his riposte ready. Gutsy move. Let’s see what the voters think.
@LHolt99 Gutsy move on the part of Offord. I loved that he told Greer to grow up at the end. We’ll soon see in the election if enough people are able to break out of the attitudes of resentment, envy and class warfare.
