@bevy_de James Grant (1880), 'Old and New Edinburgh', makes for an excellent read and where my pinned #TreatyOfUnion tweet is from. Only volume 1 of 3 uploaded so far.

@bevy_de Donald McLeod (1892), 'Gloomy Memories', is a complete run down, from witness testimony, of the #Clearances from a Sutherland native. Being a later edition it includes newspaper articles from Canada showing their disgust with the British authorities.

Wee cover update à l'Alex. Background/frame is a scan of the cover to 'Gazetteer of Scotland' (1847). Coloured in photoshop. He's done a sterling job of it so far 😁
Why 🏴's law don't gel with 🏴's, hence the #TreatyOfUnion demanding our laws remain separate. This letter was written in as a huge debate on English Courts taking jurisdiction over Scottish one's was in progress due to Orr Vs Ewing inheritance case.

From the same Xmas edition of the 'Scotsman' we have a fan of Thistledown's, I believe he probably had many at this point (he can count me in), making the distinction between 🏴 & 🏴 clear.
