Tain Girls This black-and-white photo, taken around 1905, shows Constance Fraser, Florence MacKenzie, and Lottie Gallie on Scotsburn Road, Tain. I love the hats.

An iconic artefact of early medieval Britain - the handpin. Manufacturing evidence v rare , but Gemma Cruickshanks of the @NtlMuseumsScot has outlined quite an amazing stat. 10 prev known moulds from emed Scotland, but 11 from Rhynie - more than doubling the known examples😍
Wishing you both good luck!
I have 2.5k followers (no idea how. This may lose me a few!) if 20% of you shared this and 20% of your followers did too, that would be one heck of a lot of coverage! My husband received no salary for April and we have a mortgage & bills to pay. Hopefully something out there 🤞🏻👍🏻
Wow!
Imagine unfurling something that Mary Queen of Scots created 😮 Here is a glimpse behind the scenes today as we work on a project with University of Stirling. This is the Blue Blanket, a saltire banner that Queen Mary and 'the four Marys' (her besties) sewed together. 👸💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️

@TainMuseum This one also is perhaps one of the earliest photos of the Links as a football park (zoomed in). The original changing pavilion, built in the early 1920s over the far left, and at least one goalpost situated where the cricket field was. Quite far removed from its location now!
Melancholy: the temperature of the matter being cold and dry like the solid earth, and so heavy and dull that it stirs not an inch, but by main force, and if it be forced he so takes hold and lurks in every corner by the way
