Here's a story from Greg Guderian, not about Tom Sawyer but about one of the most influential of the Scots who arrived in East New Jersey in the 1680s, Thomas Gordon. wawhitehead.net/2025/09/30/w...

In early September 1685, a ship weighed anchor in the Forth and headed out into the North Sea on a long voyage. You can read more about this voyage on our website. #newjersey #eastjerseybound #covenaterprisoners #1685voyage #17thcenturyleithvoyages #colonies

And here's another photo of the Portobello Pierrots. Help us to find out about the troupes and who were their members? What did they perform? What stories did they have?

Anybody know anything about pierrots in Portobello or elsewhere in Scotland? I've got a personal interest: my grandfather is in the photograph!

I thought someone should write a brief tribute to Scotland's online archives Canmore and Scran (and their other superb counterparts) in their last days before the move to Trove - and it might as well be me. So here it is. www.jameshamilton.co.uk/uncategorize...

I really enjoyed giving my talk on early Edinburgh football today - thanks to everyone who came along! You can now access the full illustrated text on my website: www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-histo...

Delighted to see fruits of my labours in print, in the latest Book of the Old Edinburgh Club. The article features the Sweet Singers, a sect on the extreme fringes of Covenanting during the Killing Times of the 1680s.

The very first Local Heritage Network Fair takes place on Friday 7th Feb 12pm-4pm in Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh. It’s informal and drop-in and we'll be there with many other local heritage groups. So, hope you come along! https://buff.ly/3CbChJi #localhistory #localheritage

Hello everyone, looking for a more convivial place to delve into history, Scottish and wider world, incl. the diaspora. Researching back-stories of the Scots who emigrated to East New Jersey in the 1680s and what became of them. Much involved with the Old Edinburgh Club, the city's history society.
