Once thought to be a 'Druid temple', Machuim appears to sit on top of an earlier cairn. Four massive stones still standing ‘overlooking’ Loch Tay with two large fallen, & small boulders in the circle. #StandingStoneSunday

The Saltire flutters gently above the St Andrew’s Day service at Athelstaneford. Rev Douglas Hamilton made the parallel that Andrew brought people together with Jesus and the Saltire brings us all together in an inclusive Scotland.

🚨🚨 Huge news for Cornwall!
After months of pressing Ministers, the Government has offered a bespoke devolution deal that respects our national minority status, with NO joint authority with Devon - and hopefully no requirement for a directly elected mayor.

When Kernow last enjoyed a level of autonomy (the Stannary Parliament - last convened in 1753) it was entirely because of our critical mineral industry (Stannary from stannum = tin)
If we are to truly benefit from a renewed mineral industry we MUST again have a level of devolved responsibility.
