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.

On this day in 1837 Joseph Bell was born in Edinburgh. Bell was a Scottish surgeon and lecturer at the medical school of the University of Edinburgh in the 19th century. He is best known as an inspiration for the literary character Sherlock Holmes.
In his instruction, Joseph Bell emphasized the importance of close observation in making a diagnosis. To illustrate this, he would often pick a stranger, and by observing him, deduce his occupation and recent activities. These skills caused him to be considered a pioneer in forensic science, at a time when science was not yet widely used in criminal investigations.
Arthur Conan Doyle met Bell in 1877, and served as his clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Doyle later went on to write a series of popular stories featuring the fictional character Sherlock Holmes, who Doyle stated was loosely based on Bell and his observant ways. Bell was involved in several police investigations, mostly in Scotland. Bell gave his analysis of the Ripper murders to Scotland Yard.

The lunatic left-wing destruction of our heritage and culture is constant.
The latest target is the historic Black Bitch pub in Linlithgow, which is named after a heroic local greyhound in the 17th century.
Legend has it that the dog saved his master who had been sentenced to starve on an island in Linlithgow Loch.
Owners Greene King want to cave in to the anti-racist (read anti-White) organisations who claim the name is racist despite there being absolutely no racial connection to the pub's name. In fact, the black bitch also features on the town crest.
A local petition has had large scale support online and we ask you to help the resistance by adding your name there:

On this day in 1894 Robert Louis Stevenson, one of Scotlands most famous writers died in Samoa.
Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. In 1890, he settled in Samoa where, alarmed at increasing European and American influence in the South Sea islands, his writing turned away from romance and adventure fiction toward a darker realism. He died in his island home in 1894 at age 44.
A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson's critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. In 2018 he was ranked, just behind Charles Dickens, as the 26th-most-translated author in the world.

It would appear that there are some very degenerate and worrying minds at work within the Scottish Government.
The Scottish government has issued its health and well-being survey to school children as young as 8. The survey asks questions including whether they had taken part in sexual activity within the last 12 months, whether the sex was vaginal, anal, whether contraception was used and many other questions of a highly explicit sexual nature. The survey also asks about drug and alcohol use
Surprisingly (or maybe quite unsurprisingly, given the previous actions of some councils) it appears that councils are revolting over this and refusing to participate, or heavily censoring the survey
While we obviously need to know the health of our nation's youth, this appears to go far beyond that
There are questions that need to be asked about the people that are promoting this survey and their motivations. We already see the government filling our children's heads with degeneracy such as their position on gender

On this day in 1745, Charles Edward Stuart, better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, and his Jacobite army entered the English city of Derby.
This was the furthest that the Jacobite Army penetrated into England. Many of its commanders had already argued that they had come far enough and should retreat to carry on the war in Scotland.
There was no sign of a French landing in England, and despite the large crowds that turned out to see them on the march south, only Manchester provided a significant number of recruits; Preston, a Jacobite stronghold in 1715, supplied three. Murray argued they had gone as far as possible and now risked being cut off by superior forces, with Cumberland advancing north from London, and Wade moving south from Newcastle.
The council were overwhelmingly in favour of retreat. So the army headed back into Scotland and eventually to defeat at Culloden. There has been much debate over what would have happened if they had carried on south. But we can never know.

It is great to see the Scottish government putting money into dealing with sexual exploitation, covering everything from sex for sale through to revenge porn.
But it would be even better to see them not shy away from the potentially sensitive subjects of the grooming of white Scottish women by men of non-white ethnicity and the sexual exploitation of children that goes on within certain non-indigenous communities.
People have been aware of these issues for years, especially in Glasgow. But attempts to highlight them have been met with silence from the politicians and the police service. In years gone past, people attempting to highlight the situation have in fact been gagged and threatened by the police to keep them quiet to "avoid inflaming racial tensions".
It appears to the political class and Police Scotland that people's feelings and political correctness come before protecting children and Scottish women. The truth needs to be told and action taken.
