my latest, from the new Deep Time Trail at Siccar Point. "The one-mile coastal walk leads visitors across the Berwickshire cliffs to the outcrop where the geologist James Hutton found evidence that the Earth was vastly older than anyone had imagined." bbc.co.uk/travel/article/202…

with the semi-auto qualification for Euro 2028 there is now a unique chance for Scotland to hire a super attacking, possibly even deluded manager and at least go out of the next tournament in a spectacular blaze of fire, winning hearts and minds along the way

if Scotland win, Mondays will be removed from the calendar. The Wallace Monument will crack open to reveal the man himself sleeping inside. Midges will vanish. Ben Nevis will grow taller and - awoken by the shaking earth - Nessie will surface and walk to Johnny Foxes in Inverness
Why did @theSNP Govt agree to Bank Holiday today in Scotland for qualifying for World Cup. What happens if they win? A week off work?

all i'm saying is that Alexandros Kyziridis is the same number of syllables as 'here we are now, entertain us'
🕷️ Congratulations to Alexandros Kyziridis who has won a first call up to the Greece squad! 🇬🇷 Greece face Sweden and Italy in friendlies next month. Well done, Kyzi! 👏

ignoring referees and pitch-side monitors, i just got to watch an entire season of league football at Tynecastle Park with my Dad, where Heart of Midlothian didn't lose a single game. Who knows if that'll happen again. What a season, what a team - and what a football club 🇱🇻

Win tonight and it's an undefeated league season at home for Heart of Midlothian. What happens elsewhere is down to fate! 🇱🇻

well if you'd told me in July that i'd be at a game at Tynecastle this season where we'd have the chance to win the title, i'd have choked on my doner kebab pie

"they have a lot to gain..." *swivels round in leather chair, strokes fluffy white cat, takes puff of cigar* "...and a lot to lose"
🔊 LISTEN: “They have all the momentum they could’ve hoped for… but also a team that suddenly has a lot to lose”. 🔸 Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou says having a title on the line may not necessarily work in Celtic’s favour at Fir Park on Wednesday night ⬇️

the fairytale story of the team who have won 13 out of the last 14 titles trying to win another title (despite having a bad manager for 30 days)

Hearts denied a stonewall pen - but 10pts from Motherwell, Easter Road, Rangers, and Fir Park tonight is excellent. Top of the table with two games to go. Believe! 🇱🇻

noticed a new lick of paint for the Hearts museum this morning. Wonder if they're preparing for a new exhibit...
