Great piece on Scotland's land reform journey from Mairi Gougeon . And that's exactly what we are embarked upon. A difficult, challenging, exciting and hugely important journey to a much better place. We will get there...

Very sad to hear of the death of one of my favourite historians, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie. I read Montaillou on a train from Goa to Hampi aged 18 and it forever changed the way I thought about writing history.

in 1820, Henry Bell's pioneering paddle steamer The Comet was wrecked in choppy waters off Craignish Point, Argyll and Bute.

Our latest blog tells the story of this signficant little ship, which we recently designated as a scheduled monument.
