I was turned down for funding for a £40 course that would help me massively in gaining knowledge for a new course we’re developing. Always money for Gaelic, Scots or courses to get you promotion. The rest of us just trying to do right thing for the kids aren’t valued.

Had a nice message from someone who had used my Walking D-Day book recently to walk the ground in Normandy. It remains one of my best-selling books but bizarrely the least known! Available from Pen & Sword Books: pen-and-sword.co.uk/Walking-D-Day-…

Behaviour in Berwickshire High School, 2019 - ‘Inspectors told of fear factor’: bordertelegraph.com/news/17592050.… 2021 - ‘A calm, orderly context for learning’: berwickshirehighschool.co.uk/attachments/do… Temporary exclusions (for a day or two) for unacceptable behaviour were key to this transformation.

You are simply not prepared for how funny this ending is. 😂

After a long day in the hills I retuned to St Monans at 12.15am Sunday morning, straight onto the sea front to witness the #lighteningstorm out in the Firth of Forth #LoveFife #Scotland #getoutside

I first met Dr. Carl Hendrik two years ago at the Research ED Canada conference amd I was blown away with his knowledge of the Science of Learning! Why hadn’t I been taught this before?!? Since then, I have bought and read his book “How Learning Happens”, followed him on social

24 June 1314. Robert the Bruce defeated Edward II’s English forces at the Battle of Bannockburn during the 1st War of Scottish Independence. Though it did not bring overall victory in the war, which would go on for 14 more years, it was a landmark in Scottish history.

Remembering the Somme: a moment in time at the Sunken Lane opposite Beaumont-Hamel, men waiting to go into action at Zero Hour #OTD in 1916. A timeless, incredibly moving, sequence of film.

If ever there is a Somme equivalent of Robert Capa's D-Day images it is these showing men of the Tyneside Irish Brigade marching into machine-gun oblivion and getting fewer and fewer in number, until just a handful remain. The undying tragedy of 1st July 1916: 109 years ago today

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow: Next time you walk up the stairs in the Kelvingrove Museum, have a close look at the balustrade as cast into each of the balusters are symbols taken from Glasgow’s Coat of Arms = the Bird, the Bell and the Fish though I couldn’t find the Tree 🧐👀👇!

Please read the plans for Gordon Street, Glasgow and comment - plans that seem to have been made up by folk who never actually use the place.

Showing my bias here... must admit when I saw there were delays due to trespassers on the line this is NOT what I was expecting!

Generally I'm a bit allergic to motivational posters but this one I like ;)

* Back in stock! * These enamel pins are so much fun and they've been really popular we had to ask for more! They've been created by Izzy of Isle of Skye based Scribe and Grow and they come on a seed infused backing! 1/2....

I'm watching / rewatching All The Stations at the wonderful Wemyss Bay n they're interviewing a chap who basically comments "It's not public transport if the public can't afford it". Wise, wise words.
