I love your website!! So glad I found it

New visitor to your Wonderland.
Thank you most interesting.
Rather than sharing whole articles is it possible to screenshot parts and refer them to your webpage?
You’re very welcome to look around to your heart’s content, love. You may share the information in whatever way suits you best, there are no rules here. All the best.
Loved the tale of William Stevenson and found a picture of him here! https://wellcomecollection.org/works/yn3654sj

Haha, ye’ll have to take that up with Domestic Annals author Robert Chambers 😉
Brilliant work
Thanks very much, love.

Aye, darlin – mistaken post – have a wee look at the updated post – https://randomscottishhistory.com/2019/12/18/18th-of-december/
Love the letter to The Scotsman, still relevant today
This collection of articles was deemed so relevant today that we’ve brought them out in our first publication – https://randomscottishhistory.com/2019/11/14/books-available/
Been dropping in for a few days now, excellent work sir, I am hooked.
Thank you very much, love ☺️ “Sir” is a lassie 😉 & I’m glad to have you join us.
Jenny.
Apologies, I should have looked into the details further.
Thanks for all the work you have done here, it very worthwhile, and indeed highlights the very many reasons Scotland has to be it’s own nation again. Brilliant is too small a word, for all your efforts.
Best Wishes
