Scotch Whisky Truths 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @specialscot.bsky.social · 1h

I was training a bunch of London Fund Managers, who laughed at 'Jocks' who think they: "have a few quid, because they earn £150,000".

Most English folk have never been to anywhere in Scotland. They are very surprised, on their first visit. It's usually much better than their Town.

You know you're in trouble when your chart runs out of space.

Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature 1850-2025 (measured annually, every September).

Your talking about the app the WM Establishment developed for England's failed Test & Trace App, That cost the UK economy £30b?
Scotland's App actually worked at a fraction of that cost
Do voters know know that their health data may be shared with US Health Insurers?

Let’s never again be given an option we never voted for. In May 2026 we need to ensure an SNP majority and get our independence. We the people of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 need to be in power.
