Undiscovered ScotlandFeb 3

Scotland’s oldest continuously inhabited house, the wonderfully unchanged Traquair House in the Scottish Borders. Parts of it date back at least as far as 1107, when King Alexander I of Scotland signed a royal charter at Traquair.

This is tiny (the #painting itself is only 8.5 x 6.8 cm.) but really arresting: the solemn expression, splashes of colour, sense of depth... It's Phoebe Anna #Traquair's "Portrait Miniature of Hilda Traquair, age five years," 1884. https://victorianweb.org/painting/scotland/traquair1.html

Through the little bookshop, I meet many lovely, interesting, lively folk (bookshop people are the best people, of course) and yesterday spent a lot of time chatting about local places to visit, history and folklore.
One place that regularly crops up is #Traquair - which features in this old blog post from a few years back...

Movie Horror: The Ballad of Tam Lin, or, The Devil’s Widow, or just Tam Lin, or The Devils’ Woman.

I recently, accidentally, watched again a little-known film which you may or may not be aware of.  I was interested in this title because it was filmed half an hour’s drive from where we live…

Would be great if support for #gaelic and #scots and supporting our cultural diversity like Ireland and Wales got even a fraction of the coverage and support dedicated to the trans movement.
