Mary, Queen of Scots is a fascinating figure. To find out more about her, tune into the latest episode of A Thistle with Thorns!
💥 She fled across the border hoping for safety. Maybe even a comeback. Instead? Mary, Queen of Scots found 19 years of captivity, and the executioner’s axe. Was it desperation, diplomacy, or disaster?
"Searle also gave us some of the greatest hits from the brain-addled activist songbook. For example, she - a hospital consultant, remember, not a three-year-old - said she would not have known what sex Upton was “assigned at birth” because this was not her area of expertise."
Witnesses in Sandie Peggie's tribunal are humiliating themselves and undermining trust in doctors. My @scotonsunday column: scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Susan Smith of For Women Scotland, said the Museums Galleries Scotland submission is “a masterclass in legal idiocy and scientific illiteracy”. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
What utter nonsense @EdinburghUni. Stop pandering to the wokerati and get on with supporting staff who have been victimised for speaking out on gender issues.
Edinburgh University 'pander' to woke activists as it publishes 'race review' which suggests renaming buildings based on historic allegations. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…
Did you ever hear such nonsense? These people are beclowning the whole Scottish nation. If only we had a political leader with the guts to put an end to this madness. heraldscotland.com/news/25344251.…
Fascinating exhibition of life and work of J E Millais at Perth Art Gallery with some superb example of Pre-Raphaelite art, well worth a visit. Lots of interesting information on his Perthshire connections. @culturepandk

By god, this country is going to send a very, very strong team to the Moron Olympics.
Museums Galleries Scotland has responded to the EHRC Consultation. It is concerned that the interim guidance is not in the “spirit of inclusion”. It is also worried about the “1.1 million intersex people in the UK”. museumsassociation.org/museums-journa…
Mary, Queen of Scots is perhaps the most famous Scot in history. But what do you know about her story & personality? Tune into the latest episode of A Thistle with Thorns, available on your podcast platform, to find out!
Swinney hands Trump £180,000 of taxpayers’ money to support a tournament at his Aberdeenshire golf resort. Can’t see the swivel-eyed loons being happy with that. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…
Hard to know whether this is stupidity or a deliberate lie. There is a massive cost to harnessing wind energy - manufacturing, constructing & maintaining turbines, building transmission infrastructure, providing back up & balancing the grid. It’s far from ‘free’.
Scotland has so many wind farms that it can generate more renewable electricity than it uses. And it’s a free resource - the wind in Scotland isn’t going away any time soon. #Scotland
2 days after I posted this, and it is more true than ever. The longer this tribunal runs, the worse it gets for @nhsfife. And still shameful silence from @JohnSwinney.
The number of professional reputations being trashed in the Sandie Peggie tribunal, as cosy ideology meets the cold light of exposure to truth, is quite staggering.
The US has withdrawn its negotiating team from Qatar after Hamas yet again refused to cooperate during ceasefire talks. There are still 50 hostages remaining in Gaza, brutally taken from their homes on October 7th. The French Government’s decision to unilaterally recognise a…
We have decided to bring our team home from Doha for consultations after the latest response from Hamas, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good…
