Early morning drive westwards representing Classics for All. Visited Williamwood HS, and talked to a wonderful History teacher about introducing Classical Studies. Exciting times ahead to see how we can offer pupils here access to Classics, still an unfortunate rarity in Scotland.

Next stop today: Kirktonholme Primary to chat to the P3s about the Romans, and teachers about opportunities for classical subjects at different primary stages.

Took possession today of some old ledgers relating to the Classical Association of Scotland. For being books of lists & payments, they're really beautiful (some v. elegant penmanship!) It has also been interesting seeing the health of national membership of the CAS over 100 yrs ago.

Had a great night at Royal Armouries Conference & Events with Classics for All, celebrating our annual Impact Awards. I was proud to celebrate Emma Noble from St Ambrose High, whose stellar work in growing Classical Studies there is emblematic of the powerful impact teachers can have on their pupils!

Papers done and packing almost complete for #CA2025. Might be packing a couple ancient-themed games in case any delegates find themselves at a loose end on Friday night! Counts as work, right?! 🤣 (And yes, I'm aware of the Greek script being butchered on the 'Elysium' box!)

It’s a beautiful morning here at St Andrews Classics as we prepare to open CA 2025 for delegates - see you at the Younger Hall this morning for registration before the first panels commence at 12 noon! #CA2025

Early start this morning to get over to the Younger Hall for registration opening in the Classical Association Conference 2025! Taking a bit of time on the Classics for All table (come and say hello!) before the proceedings kick off in earnest. #ca2025 #classics #conference

Great to be up in St Andrew's The Classical Association conference #CA2025 supporting the great work of our Scotland Network Coordinator Alex Imrie Classical Association of Scotland - joined by trustee and CA Chair Judith Mossman

It has been a great first day at #ca2025, talking in panels and chatting to old friends and new faces. If you would like to find out more about our efforts in Scotland, then don't hesitate to grab me and say hello!

An excellent first day at #CA2025, with more to look forward to tomorrow!

Home from #CA2025 & reflecting on a great time. Attended every session & could've gone to more on top! Some big discussions about the future of the discipline & reminders of the vitality within Scottish Classics. Dum spiro spero!

I was delighted to be elected a Fellow of Royal Historical Society! As someone trying to maintain a research profile without being paid for it, it's gratifying to be recognised for contributions to scholarship. I hope this will open new doors for me in my outreach work as much as research.

edfringe.com/tickets/whats-… There seem to be a number of ancient-themed shows taking place in this year's Edinburgh Festival — 2025! One that might appeal to many w/in the Classics community is this humorous take on the beloved Ecce Romani series! On in the mornings at the start of Aug!

I had the pleasure of attending the show, this morning. Such a fun take on the beloved text by a talented group of young actors!
