In 1914 they organised a ‘demonstration’ and sung a psalm at Caen, the first of the ‘cleared’, or ‘disrupted’ township that you come to as you enter the Strath of Kildonan. In 2013 @Timespan organised an archaeological dig at Caen and a ‘commemoration’ at Kildonan.

Made it to Ullapool and the #Lewis ferry @CalMac_Updates on route to #Buain Gaelic Arts Gathering. Popped in @CeilidhPlaceGig bookshop & pleased to see @frankrennie book “Among the Layers of the Land.” Great to meet you @EdinburghBooks on Monday and looking forward to the read!

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 This will forever be associated with my first art teacher. I was overwhelmed with emotions at her funeral when a four part setting was performed. I propose another great song, Farewell to Stromness by Peter Maxwell Davis, I believe performed at George Mackay Brown funeral .

Did you know the National Library of Scotland has thousands of old maps online for free - and you can even overlay them to see how the place where your ancestors lived changed over time?

Correction: ‘Hill-time’ is actually what’s described.

[OHV Mezger @ollymezger]

@KateMolleson ‘s thoughtful word on the feeling of mountain-walking time. All the better to catch this when human machine interfaces failing around us. 3x car hazard lights blinking + a phone left on the car roof. It flew off, tracked, picked up by someone else and retrieved 😓.

Still dreaming this site might become the Gaelic High School @Edinburgh_CC !! #gaelic

NECESSITY THE MOTHER OF INVENTION:—Lead story in Issue 332 (published today) on revised plans for old Royal High School. In some ways, new scheme is better for not sharing 'campus' with school – more public spaces/venues & improved foyer arrangements. See https://t.co/vmqlhAqEFb
