On this day in 1034, Malcolm II was killed at Glamis. Some accounts say he was assassinated, others say he died fighting bandits. Either way, he died a violent death.
Malcolm ascended to the throne by killing his predecessor Kenneth III (and Kenneth's son Giric) at the Battle of Monzievaird on 25 March 1005. This took place just north of Crieff,. He later had Kenneth's grandson killed.
Upon his death Malcolm was buried in the graveyard at Saint Oran's Chapel on the Isle of Iona.
Malcolm's three daughters had between them produced three notable sons. One daughter married Earl Sigurd of Orkney, and their son Earl Thorfinn went on to bring much of Caithness and Sutherland into Scotland. One married Crínán, the Abbot of Dunkeld, and their son Duncan went on to succeed Malcom II as Duncan I. And the third married Findlàech, the sub-king of Moray, and their son Macbeth went on to kill Duncan (with Thorfinn's help) and become King Macbeth.

Drumchapel in Glasgow is facing a major housing crisis. It has a waiting list of over 2000 people seeking housing in the area, most of whom have no prospect of being housed anytime soon.
Drumchapel is an area with a strong community with many generations of families being born in the area and staying to raise their own families there. This strong community is now in danger of being lost but the SNP seem to not care.
Over the last few decades the council have sold off a lot of land to private developers who build houses the locals could never afford. At the same time the number of social houses being built is at an all-time low.
To add to this the council has, over the years, moved more and more "asylum seekers" into the area, cutting the number of houses available to locals even more.
We need to see a policy from the council of stopping land sales to private developers, an increase in social housing being built, priority for locals to that housing and stopping the dumping of migrants in the area.

The hotels of Scotland are to be used as a dumping ground for asylum seekers.
The Home Office is sending increasing numbers of asylum seekers north of the border. 50 from Eritrea have already arrived at a Falkirk hotel and there are plans to house many more in Perth and Aberdeen.
Scottish politicians only concern appears to be that hotels are "not suitable" and these people should immediately be given houses and flats.
No comment from the politicians about how, with Scotland moving into winter, these hotel rooms might be better used getting some of our own homeless off the streets. I am sure they would be more than happy to be housed in this "unsuitable" accommodation that the politicians and asylum seekers complain about - accommodation that gives them heated comfortable rooms and three meals a day, amongst other benefits.
Where will these people go when they come out of the hotels? Will we see local communities lose more valuable housing to incomers while locals sit for years on waiting lists?

On this day in 1847 Thomas Burns, a Free Church Minister, set sail with his family and 239 other settlers from Greenock to help found the new Free Church settlement of Dunedin in New Zealand.
They arrived at the new settlement of Dunedin on 15 April 1848. He knew farming skills from his childhood and upbringing, and established a farm at Andersons Bay on Otago Harbour, which he named Grants Brae, after a house in which his father had lived in Ayrshire.
Burns created a strong Presbyterian church as a cornerstone of the new settlement. He presided over the setting up of the Synod of Otago and Southland in 1866, and established the presbyteries of Dunedin, Clutha and Southland. A strong supporter of education, he helped establish both Otago Boys' High School and Otago Girls' High School during the 1860s, and was on the founding committee of the University of Otago, of which he was first Chancellor from 1869 until his death on 23 January 1871.
There is a street in Dunedin named after him to this day.

The political system in Scotland is rotten to the core. This week we see yet another elected offical of a major party come under investigation for fraud linked to public money.
In recent years there has been a whole raft of political figures investigated or convicted of crimes ranging from fraud and embezzelment to alleged grooming of young men. The politicians in Scotland are looking more like a criminal syndicate than people who are working hard for the people of Scotland. Many seem more interested in enriching themselves than in ensuring poverty is eradicated in our nation.
This week also saw 8 people, including senior NHS managers, appear in court accused of crimes including fraud, bribery and corruption in public office. No wonder the NHS is in such a bad way in Scotland when we have incompetent ministers in charge of the health service and managers who appear to see it as a personal piggy bank.
Scotland needs a wholesale change in the political class and those who run public services.

Today many Ukrainians and other people all over the world will light a candle in rememberance of the 88th aniversary of the Holodomor. The Holodomor, that is acknowledged by many nations to be a genocide against the Ukrainian people, was a famine manufactured by Stalin and the Soviet Empire in the years 1932-1933. Millions of Ukrainians died during this period because of the actions of the Communist regime.
The brutality of communism should never be forgotten or forgiven.

On this day in 1666 a little know battle took place near the Pentland Hills. The battle called the Battle of Rullion Green was the only significant battle of the Pentland Rising, a brief revolt by Covenanter dissidents against the Scottish Government. The monument in the picture above is the Dalry covenanters sculpture which commemorates the Uprising.
Sparked by opposition to the restoration of episcopalianism in the Church of Scotland, a Covenanter army under Colonel James Wallace was defeated by a government force led by Tam Dalyell of the Binns.
While casualties were relatively light, between 40 to 50 Covenanters were killed and up to 85 prisoners taken, many of whom were alleged to have been tortured. 36 were executed and others transported to Barbados, while unrest continued over the next two decades, culminating in the extended period of repression from 1679 to 1688 known as The Killing Time.

Another day, another hit piece from the anti-white media. It seems that the lapdogs of George Soros, Hope-Not-Hate, have published an extensive report about PA and although we are thankful for the free publicity that will no doubt bolster our support, we…
Today, on a cold and snowy morning, 12 Scottish activists gathered at the Holodomor memorial at Calton Hill in Edinburgh to remember the victims of this atrocity.
We laid flowers, lit a candle, and a powerful and moving speech was given by Dan, our Lothian Contact, followed by a minute's silence. Many of us were shocked to hear about the true horror and inhumanity of this appalling crime against Europeans - one which is hardly talked about today.
We must never forget the many millions of victims of this genocide carried out by Soviet Bolsheviks, nor forgive this or any of the other murderous crimes against humanity perpetrated by communism.

On this day in 1872 the Scottish scientist Mary Somerville died in Italy.
She studied mathematics and astronomy, and in 1835 she and Caroline Herschel were elected together as the first female Honorary Members of the Royal Astronomical Society.
When John Stuart Mill, the philosopher and economist, organised a massive petition to Parliament to give women the right to vote, he had Somerville put her signature first on the petition.
In 1834 she became the first person to be described in print as a 'scientist'. When she died in 1872, the Morning Post declared in her obituary that "Whatever difficulty we might experience in the middle of the nineteenth century in choosing a king of science, there could be no question whatever as to the queen of science".
Somerville College, a college of the University of Oxford, is named after her. She is featured on the front of the Royal Bank of Scotland polymer £10 note launched in 2017, alongside a quotation from her work The Connection of the Physical Sciences.

On this day in 1872 the world's first international football match recognised by FIFA took place in Glasgow.
There had been five previous matches held in London between English and Scottish teams between 1870-72, but they were not true internationals. But all of the "Scottish" players came from the London area.
In this match all the Scottish players came from Queens Park FC. The game was watched by 4000 spectators who each paid a shilling to be watch the game. The game ended in a goalless draw.

On this day in 1787 the first lighthouse in Scotland went into operation.
The lighthouse was the first built by the Northern Lighthouse board. Interestingly it was converted from what was originally a castle built for the Fraser family in the 1500s.
The original light at Kinnaird Head Lighthouse was established by Thomas Smith on 1 December 1787. A lantern was set 120 feet (37 m) above the sea on a tower of the old castle. Whale oil lamps produced a fixed light, each backed by a parabolic reflector. Kinnaird Head was the most powerful light of its time, and contained 17 reflectors arranged in 3 horizontal tiers. It was reported to be visible from 12 to 14 miles (10 to 12 nmi; 19 to 23 km). The first lighthouse keeper was James Park, who was paid a shilling per night and remained in the job for nearly a decade.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow has been a disaster even before construction started on it.
From design flaws to cost over-runs to bad construction, it has had just about everything go wrong with it. There have been deaths linked to the construction failures of the building and to poor cleaning practices.
But the hospital board have carried on collecting large salaries and bonuses as it staggers from one disaster to another. They have at every turn cultivated a culture of secrecy and tried to frustrate relatives of those who died at the hospital as they seek answers. Many of the deaths were avoidable being down to flaws with the buildings which led to infections that people contracted in the hospital.
The board should resign but of course put their cushy jobs before doing the right thing. The Scottish Government is no better: it should have acted a long time ago to take control of the situation and sack the board. But instead they have chosen to protect them.
