After Brisgein featured in a fascinating post by @Derqui , I headed down the rabbit hole; found #gaidhlig aran-brisgein, a bread made with the plant roots, noted a Rubha nam Brisgein on Ronay, then the plant's #wikipedia article (as Argentina Anserina), which indicates the root was eaten in North America and Tibet. Apparently it is called Richette in France, though nothing on fr.wiki

Seeing the reports on demolishing the St Enoch Centre, for me it is still always the place of the sweep up to the entrance to the old St Enoch Station (the promise of trips down the coast), with the wee arched shop units beneath.

I finished reading Raw Spirit by #IainBanks last night, a tour around Scotland’s #whisky distilleries. After he wrote it a distillery was started in #Hawick in the #ScottishBorders, my home town. They claim to be the first distillery in the Borders since 1837. Maybe first legal distillery. My ancestor in 1857 Hawick had an illicit whisky still at #WiltonDean. Which I view as rather enterprising of him! https://vivsancestry.wordpress.com/2016/05/05/an-ancestors-illicit-whisky-still-in-1850s-hawick/ #Scotland #Ancestry #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #ScottishHistory #Scotch

Musing possible journal paper re private library and other possessions of a #ScottishBorders laird ancestor died 1761. His testament convinced me Scottish testaments might be a good source for #books owned. Which I studied as a Research Assistant and my #PhD. I had expressed some doubts re these sources in my RA job interview. But then I remembered my ancestor’s inventory.

@scothistrail A couple of weeks ago I thought of recasting my previous tinkerings with Wikidata for mapping aspects of #ScottishHistory (for example, former railway company lines and stations) to select and present one random item. Although the code is still untidy, @scothistrail is now up and running. It can show an ancient stone, a castle, a station on a former railway line, or a club in a defunct football league, which I find a pleasingly random selection.

Interesting piece on the Romans in #Scotland https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65388673
I've always been aware of this history, as the town I grew up, on the edge of Glasgow, was a major fort on the Antonine Wall. Got young me interested in history, learning that it didn't all happen "far away", but also on my doorstep.
Reading a fellow historian’s experiences at the National Records of Scotland, and reminded of problems I had there 30+ years ago (then Scottish Record Office). I made a formal complaint in writing about one of the staff, who was constantly treating teenage me in extremely derogatory terms, including joking about me to others in the search room. He was demoted to non customer facing duties. Made my future visits much better. #ScottishHistory #Archives #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #HistoricalResearch

Tonight’s reading material for me. Scotland’s Transnational Heritage: Legacies of Empire and Slavery.

Re my database of nearly 100 references to black servants in #Scotland between 1777 and 1798, frustrated how I know more of employers, often with West Indies links. And I will never see faces of the servants. Here are images of 4 employers: Captain John Peebles in #Ayrshire, Sir James Hunter Blair in #Edinburgh, Charlotte Tullidelph/Ogilvie just outside #Dundee, and the future French #king Charles X then in Edinburgh. #BlackHistory #Slavery #ScottishHistory
So glad I could attend virtually the book launch for “Scotland's Transnational Heritage: Legacies of Empire, Trade and Slavery”. Insightful speakers and a very lively discussion about many issues related to this important topic.

The figure wears a conical bascinet, an aventail or coif of mail, and a knee-length aketon with elbow-straps. His left hand rests on a sword with...

Application form filled out, ready to send off in the post tomorrow, for me to get #lifetime #membership of the #Hawick Archaeological Society. Still a gamble with my life threatening progressive #neuro disease, but with no minimum age and a fair lifetime membership offer, plus no need to renew annually, it's too good not to go for. #ScottishBorders #ScottishHistory #History #Archaeology #LocalHistory #Roxburghshire
Very good article here with excellent excerpts of poetry.
Hitting nail on the head here:
'While the dimension of ethnic cleansing and racialised cultural prejudice, stressed by some historians, tends to be downplayed in other accounts in favour of socio-economic explanations, it is certain that the Clearances generate images of widespread destruction and the erasure of people, their culture, and a way of life...'
In a way I do admire the boldness of starting a film filled with historical inaccuracies and completely made up stuff by saying:
"Historians from England will say I am a liar..."
Sure. But also historians from Scotland, France... In fact actually almost every single human with a passing knowledge of the time period.

Built on two islets in a loch, it was the administrative centre of the Lordship of the Isles around the 14th century.

More historic #RobertBurns reading for #BurnsNight from my long ago #PhD research. From Selkirk Subscription #Library in the early 1800s there were lots of members borrowing books by Robert Burns.

A beautiful day in #Stirling so out for a walk up by #StirlingCastle and Kirk of the Holyrood. The kirkyard is very atmospheric in this weather. #CowaneHospital includes a statue of its founder John Cowane. Known locally as "Auld Staneybreeks" he is reputed to come off his plinth on hogmanay and dance a jig. No sign of any dancing today though!! #Stirling #Scotland #scottishhistory #VisitScotland #genealogy
Bettyhill, named by the Countess of Sutherland (Elizabeth Sutherland) after herself... 15,000 people having been cleared from her and her husband's estate between 1811 and 1821, the Countess of Sutherland built (I assume not single-handedly) this resettlement village at the mouth of the River Naver. Most benevolent.
