Today marks the 34th anniversary of the RAF Shackleton plane crash in South Harris. I was on teaching practice in Tarbert School and watched it fly over Taransay in the morning. My wee sister eerily announced it was going to crash. I remember scolding her for it. 10 people died.

Postie, Joan Niven bringing the mail across the River Findhorn using the "bucket bridge" at Drynachan in winter 1959/60. This hand-propelled cable-car style device was the only way to get mail (and phone messages) across at the time. #OldWeirdScotland
Hive mind: If I wanted to research a mid-20th racehorse, its career, owners, pedigree etc., what resources are available to me? 📖🐴 I have a pretty good horsey #OldWeirdScotland story lead that I'd like to do justice! 🏇🏇🏇
Shepherds used whole boiled neeps to bend the horns of sheep away from their cheeks. Corkscrewed onto the horns, the neeps applied sustained heat and moisture and allowed the shepherd to safely reshape the sheep's headgear. #OldWeirdScotland

Sunday trivia question: What use might a shepherd have for a neep* that had been boiled whole until soft? Any ideas? (keep it clean now!) *(turnip/rutabaga/swede etc etc.) #OldWeirdScotland

It has been brought to my attention that I'm on the Netflix 👶🦌
Immediately recognised because my grandparents lived on Cambusnethan St (aka Camby) Here's to the Hoppy on Marionville Road as featured in Netflix hit "Baby Reindeer" @cocteautriplets
@WeirdScotland Yep. That’s pretty much how I remember “party food” in East Lothian in the 70s. My mum probably made similar. However, she’d have used a “Woman’s Own” recipe. Or maybe “People’s Friend”…
@WeirdScotland @cocteautriplets Will def be trying the potato salad recipe!
@WeirdScotland I tell a lie, it wasn't at Drynachan but somewhere else on the river! Not sure if this one is still there
@WeirdScotland Still operational, was lucky to use it just a few years ago.
I feed 80 street dogs every day but the last stop is my favorite because I get to see little Angelina Jolie. She’s a very very old girl who has lived on the streets her whole life but she is very special (1/6) 🧵
@WeirdScotland Have to be the G.S.B. (Stud Book). It's been published by Wetherbys (no apostrophe) for over 200 years.
@WeirdScotland Any help?
@MirandaArnold Depends on which horse it is. Googling by name should pull up info from Wikipedia to other records if a relatively successful racehorse. Otherwise, @NHRMuseum might have pointers? Pedigree will be on pedigreequery.com
@MirandaArnold Depends on which horse it is. Googling by name should pull up info from Wikipedia to other records if a relatively successful racehorse. Otherwise, @NHRMuseum might have pointers? Pedigree will be on pedigreequery.com
@WeirdScotland pedigreequery.com a good starting point, but for mid-century, the old form and stud books are best, with newspaper archive also useful. Internet can be hit and miss.
@WeirdScotland @cocteautriplets @helynsar is the fount of all knowledge
@cocteautriplets @WeirdScotland I've also got a shelf of old horseracing books here so I can look it up if it was famous enough.
@_RozKay ? Any ideas?
Hive mind: If I wanted to research a mid-20th racehorse, its career, owners, pedigree etc., what resources are available to me? 📖🐴 I have a pretty good horsey #OldWeirdScotland story lead that I'd like to do justice! 🏇🏇🏇
