There are over 36,000 ahead of me in the queue for the @Scotlandteam Scotland Supporters @SixNationsRugby Weekend Pass Pre-sale. If everyone buys 2 passes, then there are not enough seats for everyone in the entire stadium. So I guess I’m not getting a ticket 😭

Today is the Scottish poet W S Graham's 106th birthday. His writing table is in the SPL for visitors to use. He called it his Untidy Dreadful Table. The black marks are where he stubbed out his fags.
