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.

Today our South West Scotland Branch hit the streets of Ayr delivering over 300 leaflets.
They then hit the gym, by which point, we had already received an enquiry from their leafleting efforts.

World leaders have swamped Glasgow for COP26 and climate change, but our leaders refuse to discuss demographic change while swamping Scotland and the UK with immigrants.
Patriotic Alternative activists asked the question in Glasgow today; when is the conference on demographic change?
We expect silence from the political traitors in power today.

Nicola Sturgeon and Douglas Ross will be visiting a drugs recovery group in Glasgow to discuss the solution to the drug crisis facing Scotland.
A question which is never properly addressed is, why are so many Scots on drugs in the first place? Many are disenfranchised, living in a broken shell of a system, stuck in the gutter. Often this is due to the failings of this government.
Ultimately, no party can offer the solution to this epidemic. No party wishes to make the huge societal changes needed to save the Scottish people from drug reliance.

On this day in 1891 Neil Miller Gunn was born in Dunbeath, Caithness.
Gunn was a prolific novelist, critic, and dramatist who emerged as one of the leading lights of the Scottish Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. With over twenty novels to his credit, Gunn was arguably the most influential Scottish fiction writer of the first half of the 20th century (with the possible exception of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell)
After the success of his first novels he was able to resign his full time job to become a writer. Among the works he wrote Butcher's Broom and The Silver Darlings are historical novels dealing with the Highland Clearances. Young Art and Old Hector and The Green Isle of the Great Deep are both fantasies based on Scottish folklore. Gunn's later works in the 1940s and into the 1950s became concerned with issues of totalitarianism
In his later years Gunn lived on the Black Isle. He died in Raigmore Hospital in Inverness on 15 January 1973, aged 81.[
