On this day in 1909, Ludovic Kennedy was born in Edinbugh.
Kennedy was a Scottish journalist, broadcaster, humanist and author best known for re-examining cases such as the Lindbergh kidnapping and the murder convictions of Timothy Evans and Derek Bentley, and for his role in the abolition of the death penalty in the United Kingdom.
He wrote several books that questioned convictions in a number of notable cases in British judicial history.
In 2003, he wrote 36 Murders and 2 Immoral Earnings, in which he analysed a number of noted cases, including the Evans case and those of Derek Bentley and the Birmingham Six, a number of which were affected by claims of police failure, police misconduct or perjury. In it he concluded that the adversarial system of justice in the UK and the United States "is an invitation to the police to commit perjury, which they frequently do", and said that he preferred the inquisitorial system.

Poet Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner has travelled to the COP26 summit from the Republic of the Marshall Islands to raise awareness for rising sea levels which could wipe these islands out of existence.
Fighting for the survival of one's native homeland is an honourable feat. However, it is interesting that this sentiment is only recognised by the elites when it is pushed by non-Whites.
Where is the ambassador arguing for the survival of the Scottish people? Calling out against the anti-White agenda would never be allowed at these elitist summits. The Scottish people deserve a Patriotic Alternative.

On this day in 1864 the renowned Scottish architect Robert Lorimer was born in Edinburgh.
Lorimer was a prolific Scottish architect and furniture designer noted for his sensitive restorations of historic houses and castles, for new work in Scots Baronial and Gothic Revival styles, and for promotion of the Arts and Crafts movement.
He was influenced by Scottish domestic architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries and the Scottish baronial style of Kellie Castle where he had spent much of his childhood and adolescence. From his time in Bodley's office, Lorimer was influenced by the ideas of William Morris, and went on to become a committed exponent of the Arts and Crafts approach to architecture. He assembled a collaborative group of artists and craftsmen who, collectively, often contributed to his various commissions and to the manufacture of furniture sent to the Arts and Crafts exhibitions in London. In 1896 he was elected to the Art Workers Guild.

Fragments from the Battle of Culloden have been discovered, including two musket rounds and a fragment of clay pipe.
Our history truly is part of the very land which we stand on, the remnants of our past struggles and conflicts just beneath our feet. It is a beautiful thing when we can rediscover these lost items from our past.
The Scottish people have always strived to preserve our history and learn more about the truth of our nation's roots. Scotland's history must be remembered.

The Scottish judicial system is a mess, especially when it comes to dealing with violent "immigrants", it would seem.
Sam Sari, a Palestinian who lives in Govanhill, assaulted two paramedics trying to help him and threw their equipment about. If convicted he should be deported. He is not denying he is guilty but his lawyer is asking for an absolute discharge which means though he admits committing a crime it does not count as a crime. Thus avoiding deportation. It turns out that he has already been given one absolute discharge in another case.
So it seems that the law is prepared to treat violent immigrants as a class different from ordinary Scottish people. Any white Scot carrying out this type of offence would probably quite rightly be jailed. How many crimes, and of what severity, would it take for a repeat offender like this, who is obviously a danger to the Scottish people, to be deported?
One rule for us, another for the "New Scots".

One of our #Cambridgeshire activists was so fed up with the rubbish left strewn in an alleyway on her running circuit and disappointed that the local council failed to act that she took on the job herself.

The Scottish FA have been fined £8,000 because Scottish fans booed the Israeli national anthem and flew a Palestinian flag in protest against the totalitarian Israeli state’s treatment of innocent women and children.
Fifa, like many other world governing sports bodies, happily allow support for all sorts of political and social engineering - BLM and LGBT+ are very prominent - but if you make a stand for free speech or against one of the governing elites' sacred cows then they stamp down on it.
Professional football is bread and circuses to the people and has lost i’s cultural roots for many as money and the importation of foreign players now takes precedence, but the 3-2 win over such a regime was sweet for those of us with a nationalist mindset.
The disgraceful Israeli treatment of Palestinians is well known, but Israel also backs open borders for everybody but themselves. Such double standards should be booed. Ask yourself why self-determination is OK for Israel but not for us here in these islands!

Castleview Primary, Edinburgh has asked young boys to wear skirts to school to "promote equality". This is disgusting.
Any parent reading this would be sick to their core. The fact that this would cross a teacher's mind is blatantly paedophilic.
Young, White boys are continuously being feminised and weakened. Any strong nation demands strength from their men. How can we expect Scotland to ever be strong again with actions like this ruining our young boys?
Strong men stand up to what is wrong. If the fathers of these children have any strength, they will demand that this school withdraws its despicable request.
It's no wonder the Scottish people are sick of the failures of the education system. The Scottish people must demand a better alternative: a Patriotic Alternative.

Not specifically Scottish history but an event significant in Britain. On this day in 1605 the gunpowder plot to blow up the House of Lords in London was supposed to take place.
The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605,as the prelude to a popular revolt in the Midlands during which James's nine-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was to be installed as the Catholic head of state. Robert Catesby was the main plotter and his fellow plotters were John and Christopher Wright, Robert and Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, Thomas Bates, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham. During a search of the House of Lords in the evening on 4 November 1605, Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder Most of the conspirators fled from London Several made a stand against the pursuing Sheriff of Worcester and his men at Holbeche House; in the ensuing battle, Catesby was one of those shot and killed.

On this day in 1638, James Gregory (Gregorie in its original Scottish spelling) was born at Oakdrum in Aberdeenshire.
Gregory was a Scottish mathematician and astronomer. He described an early practical design for the reflecting telescope – the Gregorian telescope – and made advances in trigonometry, discovering infinite series representations for several trigonometric functions.
In his book Geometriae Pars Universalis (1668) Gregory gave both the first published statement and proof of the fundamental theorem of the calculus (stated from a geometric point of view, and only for a special class of the curves considered by later versions of the theorem), for which he was acknowledged by Isaac Barrow.
