This jaunt was taken on the Friday before Hallowe'en. We actually got in about Lochmaben, Torthorwald, & Caerlaverock castles, along with Sweetheart Abbey, but the full day out made for a 2 hour long video, so, you'll be getting this day out as a 2-parter. Its edit and upload were delayed due to the Slains & Glamis castles trip (ruclips.net/video/Vn1KTu9aOM0/видео.htmlsi=lVlp1QYUppxrHIE-), done...

These were great & I can definitely recommend tae anyone finding themselves at a beauty spot in the country accompanied by a tourist centre or shop, since that seems to be where I come across these bottles most often. I am perhaps mispronouncing the Cairn o' Mohr branding but I'm enjoying that they're name is effectively "care no more" 😆 Kitten shenanigans after Patron thanks, too ☺️

Welcome to our last episode of newspaper randomness for this series. We had 3 articles out the hat for this one and no trigger warnings to note. Galician women appeal to the Austrian Emperor for the right to fight for their country, even willing to do so without pay. (Dundee Courier, 29th December, 1864.) Note of the marriage of a woman who, disguised as a man, succeeded in becoming the Captain...

Being Hallowe'en it seemed a good idea to head up to Scotland's "Dracula Castle," Slains Castle, Cruden Bay. Bram Stoker had seemingly used it for his portrayal of Dracula's abode, while there writing the novel, in 1895. The remaining structure is immense and fantastic to get a wander around. So sad it was just left to ruin after being stripped of everything it was worth. It would have made, an...

I moved from a corner of the living room into our spare room on a friend, who had been staying with us for a few years, leaving. That was about 2 years ago. Slowly - so very slowly - I've been transforming it for RSH purposes. Starting with the window and making wee changes towards the door, the walls went from green to purple, in small incremental bits, as I was able to free up space & get in ...

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 4 articles out the hat for this one. Trigger warning for death by poisoning. We begin with a report of a poisoning after a group of 4 friends all drank from a glass which had contained Naphtha. (Glasgow Evening Citizen, 11th May, 1880.) Next up is details of an incident in which a keeper of the Humane Society House jumped into the River...

Thought I'd delve into the RSH collection to see what could be added to the online archive and felt it was a good time to set in about this framed map of Scotland, created by John Speed in 1610. Any framed piece is impossible to scan on a flatbed scanner as the frame lifts the image away from the scanner glass, leading to blurry, low-resolution failures. The only option, if set on obtaining a s...

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 3 articles out the hat in this episode. Trigger Warning for the first, being the accidental death of a child. To begin us we have a child who fell while holding a stick, which went up his nose. (Lincolnshire Free Press, 13th July, 1897.) Then we had a Cockney superstition which supposedly leads folk to the thieves of their belongings. (...

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 4 articles out the hat in this episode. Trigger warnings for accidental death by truss (1st article) & shotgun(?) blast to the pelvis (4th article). To begin we hear about a stage extra in the theatre having died in an act of slapstick. (Magnet (London), 27th January, 1845.) Then it's a relation of farm-servant, Tommy, having been disco...

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 4 articles out the hat in this episode. To start us off we have a female sailor who was found out. (Dundee, Perth, & Cupar Advertiser, 30th August, 1859.) Next we have 3 calves born in a way that seemed to frighten some of the more credulous locals. (Perthshire Courier, 7th May, 1835.) Then there the relation of a sentry at Holyrood Pal...

Welcome to another episode of newspaper randomness. We had 4 articles out the hat for this one, which may have been a mistake... Trigger warning for discussion of suicide, though you should be good for the first 3 articles. To begin we have the heroism of a gent who saved a young lad from drowning. (Jedburgh Gazette, 16th May, 1874.) Then we have a miser who was willing to cut his nose off to s...
