Iβm wondering if anyone could help me learn more about a book that has been passed down by generations in my family. Songs of Scotland and it was published in 1853 based on a note from a family member who passed it down decades ago.
I love your website!! So glad I found it
The story of the Tumbling Lassie is great, this Scottish charity uses it for it’s name………….https://www.tumblinglassie.com/
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
I believe the date of the eclipse is wrong, all other sources I’ve found date it as 3 May 1715.
Haha, ye’ll have to take that up with Domestic Annals author Robert Chambers π
Brilliant work
Thanks very much, love.
Had never heard of the Graham Square fire, Glasgow has had more fires with loss of life to Firefighters than any other place in Scotland, and possibly the whole of the UK.
Sorry cat jumped on me as I started typing, I keep an eye on and post anniversaries on my FB group and noticed the Sir David Wilkie date is wrong, out by a month, was prob a typo on the source page, he was born November 18th.
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 βΊοΈ “Sir” is a lassie π & 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
Les Wilson
