Tomorrow is Burns Night, when Scotland honours its greatest poet.

But Robert Burns wasn't just writing poems — he was reviving the Scots language.

Scots was once spoken by kings — but it was cast aside.

Here's the untold tale of English's closest cousin, and how it survived 🧵

As Book Week Scotland comes to a close, why not relax with a story in Scots?

Great insights from our colleague @_LornaPate on @BBCScotland discussing depopulation in rural areas. She highlights the importance of affordable and accessible #housing for vibrant and sustainable communities --> https://t.co/mm00OhRtEr

Julia raises an issue here that, as a writer on activism (https://t.co/tHv8UTV0WQ or https://t.co/tpmvFgs4jz) deeply vexes me. I’ve felt that 9/11 was a turning point. The old ways no longer work with the same effect. We must be deeper and more creative. Follow her thread down.

Radical Community Wealth Building doesn’t happen overnight and this project is tentatively incorporating all five key principles.

A good deal of financial support from the energy sector has allowed the community to take ownership of assets to profit, sustainably, from tourism.

Wow. Epic storytelling. And not a fact/figure in sight. Sure - that must come. But the power of story through film is something the SNP/ indy movement must embrace.

[Magnus Davidson @DavidsonMagnus]

As a professional in these matters, remote and rural communities need housing, good jobs, better education and healthcare provision, and better access to public transport, as well as many other things, over and above one and two pence coins.

I'm not a rural worker. But my dad was, he was a shepherd who worked with a dog & lost his job to land use change

A short one pager to summarise the legal basis of our fight

[SARE @tullynessletpac]

Is your school and or nursery at risk or being mothballed? Do you know anyone else who is being affected by the practice of mothballing? Please get in touch so that we can provide support and fight together to end this closure by stealth practice!

[Paul Mather 🌍 @APMather]

Are you listening @Aberdeenshire ?
Mothballing is closure by the backdoor. There are safeguards in place for closing schools. These safeguards are there for a reason and should not be circumvented.
Mothballing destroys communities. Small rural schools matter.

[Aberdeenshire SNP Group @snpshiregroup]

SNP group councillors out with @RThomsonMP this morning, to speak to families affected by the decision to mothball Tullynessle school and nursery. We remain strongly of the opinion that these decisions should be democratic, not officer led

It's a sorry state of affairs that nursery kids have to protest to protect their education @Aberdeenshire . Shame on you.
