#StAndrewsDay Scots & Welsh are referred to that way, so why do we English have to put up with "White" or "White British"?!

I struggle with my #settler heritage, but I do admire a great many things about my #scottish side. Both my #paternal great grandparents emigrated from #scotland. They were brave, tough people, and I know I inherited a lot of their stubborn determination.

I've always loved the #bagpipes, and hope to see Scotland one day.

Alba gu bràth!

Happy #standrewsday to all who celebrate.

Happy St Andrew's Day! And what better day to have Gaelic and Scots recognised as official languages in Scotland: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9891455007o

Gaelic and Scots now recognised as official languages

The milestone is one of a number of new measures taking effect on St Andrew's Day from the Scottish Languages Act.

The Scottish Languages Act, which MSPs voted through in June, empowers parents to ask for a Gaelic school to be established in their area and aims to ensure that more qualifications are available in Gaelic. We explored what it means #StAndrewsDay https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/06/20/the-scottish-languages-act-opportunities-and-challenges/

The Little White Rose
(To John Gawsworth)

The rose of all the world is not for me.
I want for my part
Only the little white rose of Scotland
That smells sharp and sweet—and breaks the heart.

—Hugh MacDiarmid, “The Little White Rose”

At the nursing home seeing my old maw, they have a piper on the go for #StAndrewsDay
Fortunately we are a couple of rooms away so it the perfect volume to hear without being over powering.
