An absolute pleasure to represent @MorayHouse at the @I_W_M’s Beyond Borders CPD event.
Not only a day spent at one of the world’s best museums, but even managed to get some time in the research room too.

7 schools, 4 days, 312 miles… It’s been great to catch-up with the @MorayHouse PGDE Historians this week in W. Dun, S. Lanark, Fife, Renfrewshire, & Edinburgh. A huge thank you to history teacher colleagues for their magnificent mentoring. Here’s to next week and more visits!

Two placement visits with observed lessons on the Scottish Wars of Independence, followed by that game. There was a theme to yesterday 🏴👀

Proud to share the first film in our ongoing collaboration between @MorayHouse and @ScotWarMemorial, exploring the history, legacy, and future of Scotland’s memorial to conflict.

Worst attempt at annual leave almost at an end! Feeling very Kenneth More [Colin Maud] on the Normandy beaches for my return. If you see me carrying a shilleagh and ranting about placements this week, I’m okay, don’t be overly concerned!

My burnt respiratory system had some view of this! 🫣 Was on the platform about ten ft from the tree as the cables blew ⚡️

⚠️ Our teams are responding to multiple fallen trees damaging our infrastructure.
📸 These images are from Drumchapel where a huge tree has come down onto the overhead lines.
⛈️ Work will continue throughout the storm to assess and repair damage.

My mountain bike was stolen earlier this year 💔 I debated for a long time about getting something new/different. Well, here she is…

David Carter delivering an excellent presentation to the Branch yesterday about the Quintinshill Rail Disaster on 22 May 1915.
Many thanks to Branch members, and friends of the Branch, for making it such a successful event.

“Flags are never just pieces of fabric. They are symbols that carry deep emotional weight, representing identity, loyalty, and belonging. But they can also divide, intimidate, and exclude.”
A few thoughts on the flags appearing in towns and cities…

Fourth annual ‘Wheel & Walk Challenge’ at @drum_cycle. Always an amazing day working with a fantastic team to get riders [of all ages] from Drumchapel to Clydebank, Bowling, and Dumbarton.

Chamberlain - you see God in you.
Trotsky - Honeymoon, serenade the naked.
Che Guevara - you're all target now.
Pol Pot - withdrawn traces, bye bye.
Farrakhan - alimony alimony.
Without this album and without Revol I doubt I would’ve been a history teacher!

‘The Holy Bible’ turns 31 today. Released on 30th August 1994, the Manics’ third studio album remains one of their most intense and uncompromising statements.
Do you own it on vinyl, CD or even cassette? Got any rare pressings, promos or memorabilia from the era? Share your collections below.

Absolute bucket list experience! Riding the track at the @chrishoy velodrome. What an adrenaline rush! Is it too late for a career change?

Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park skatepark (1978-1983). I’m hopeful of being able to soon announce details of a week of skateboarding heritage & archaeology here later in the summer. #HalfpipeHeritage
