On this day in 1862 Dr Robert Knox died in London.
Knox was a Scottish anatomist and ethnologist best known for his involvement the Burke and Hare murders. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Knox eventually partnered with anatomist and former teacher John Barclay and became a lecturer on anatomy in the city, where he introduced the theory of transcendental anatomy. However, Knox's incautious methods of obtaining cadavers for dissection before the passage of the Anatomy Act 1832 and disagreements with professional colleagues ruined his career in Scotland. Following these developments, he moved to London, though this did not revive his career.
Knox also devoted the latter part of his career to studying and theorising on evolution and ethnology; during this period, he also wrote numerous works advocating scientific racism. His work on the latter further harmed his legacy and overshadowed his contributions to evolutionary theory, which he used to account for racial differences.

Extinction Rebellion shows its true face and agenda. This morning in Glasgow, Extinction Rebellion activists locked and glued themselves to each other and the gates of the Brand Street immigration office.
ER claims to be all about stopping climate change and reducing pollution. But the banners that they are showing at Brand Street have nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with bringing more migrants into this country. They are attacking the government's attempts to halt illegal immigration and people abusing the asylum system.
Anyone would think that ER would be against the mass movement of people and the climate damage such movements cause, but appears they support it.
The mask is off and it is clear to see that ER is but another left-oriented anti-White organisation, not the non political climate warriors they claim to be.

Today is the first day of Yule (also called Yuletide or Yule fest). It runs from the 21st of December until January 1st.
Yule is a festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht.
Later departing from its pagan roots, Yule underwent Christianised reformulation, resulting in the term Christmastide. Some present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others may have connections to older pagan Yule traditions. Cognates to Yule are still used in the Scandinavian languages as well as in Finnish and Estonian to describe Christmas and other festivals occurring during the winter holiday season.

Prior to the arrival of Christianity, the Celtic people of Britain celebrated Yule in a similar fashion to the Germanic festival. It is alleged that Celtic Druids began the tradition of the Yule Log, with the intention of driving out darkness, evil spirits, and poor luck in the following year.
The Yule Log was intended to be kept alight over the entire solstice period, twelve days over which the sun was believed to stand still. The log being extinguished symbolised poor luck in the following year. Additionally, evergreen plants were used in decoration - of key significance are "The Holly and the Ivy", used in decoration, and Mistletoe, suspended over a doorway in a token gesture of goodwill to all who passed under it.
These traditions have been adopted into the Christian winter celebrations, symbolised by a mistletoe wreath placed on the front door to a building.

Today is also the Winter Solstice, with it occurring at 15.59. Though the whole day is referred to as the solstice but also the shortest day or longest night.
The solstice may have been a special moment of the annual cycle for some cultures even during Neolithic times. Astronomical events were often used to guide activities, such as the mating of animals, the sowing of crops and the monitoring of winter reserves of food. Many cultural mythologies and traditions are derived from this.
This is attested by physical remains in the layouts of late Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeological sites, such as Stonehenge in England and Newgrange in Ireland. The primary axes of both of these monuments seem to have been carefully aligned on a sight-line pointing to the winter solstice sunrise (Newgrange) and the winter solstice sunset (Stonehenge). It is significant that at Stonehenge the Great Trilithon was oriented outwards from the middle of the monument, i.e. its smooth flat face was turned towards the midwinter Sun.

The craziness of the drive to find even the smallest link to slavery in our history continues, the worst offenders being the people who are supposed to protect our heritage
The National Trust For Scotland has decided that Culloden, Prince Charlie and the defeated Jacobites have an "indirect" link to slavery. Prince Charlie received the use of a ship and some money from a French-Irish plantation owner. It appears later some of the defeated and exiled Jacobites became overseers on plantations and similar jobs and that seems to be enough to link Culloden and the jacobites to slavery.
The NTS has also decided the author JM Barrie is linked to slavery, as the cottage where he is was born was once a weavers' cottage and the weaving industry provided cloth for some slaves, it appears. Even though Barrie's hometown made corsets, not slave clothes, the NTS still brands it as slave-linked.
The NTS wants both sites to have information linking them to slavery. The NTS is obviously not fit to safeguard our heritage.

On this day in 1715 , James Francis Edward Stuart, nicknamed the Old Pretender landed at Peterhead in Support of the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion.
James reached Scotland after the Jacobite defeats at the Battle of Sheriffmuir (13 November 1715) and Battle of Preston (1715). He landed at Peterhead and soon fell ill with fever, his illness made more severe by the icy Scottish winter.In January 1716, he set up court at Scone Palace. Learning of the approach of government forces, he returned to France, sailing from Montrose on 5 February 1716. The abandonment of his rebel allies caused ill-feeling against him in Scotland; nor was he welcomed on his return to France. His patron, Louis XIV, had died on 1 September 1715, and the French government found him a political embarrassment. When France, hitherto his main protector, allied with Britain, this effectively secured the Hanoverian dynasty's monarchy over the Kingdom of Great Britain. He eventually settled in Rome and set up a court in exile. The 1715 rebellion failed

On this day in 1688, James VII fled Britain to live in exile in France.
James had tried to push religious tolerance especially for his Catholic religion. This caused much hostility.
Public alarm increased when Queen Mary gave birth to a Roman Catholic son and heir, James Francis Edward, on 10 June that year. When the prince's birth opened the possibility of a permanent Roman Catholic dynasty, it led to a plot to replace him.
On 30 June 1688, a group of seven Protestant nobles invited William, Prince of Orange, to come to England with an army. By September, it had become clear that William sought to invade. When William arrived on 5 November 1688, many Protestant officers defected and joined William. James lost his nerve and declined to attack the invading army, despite his army's numerical superiority. On 11 December, James tried to flee to France. He was captured in Kent. Having no desire to make James a martyr, William let him escape. Later he wouid try to regain his throne but fail.

New article on the Patriotic Alternative website: The Constant Assault on Christmas
By Gordon Freeman
By Gordon Freeman
On this day in 1165 William I, also known by the nickname Garbh, "the Rough" was crowned King of Scotland at the age of 24.
William was then a key player in the Revolt of 1173–74 against Henry II, At the Battle of Alnwick, William recklessly charged the English troops himself, shouting, "Now we shall see which of us are good knights!" He was unhorsed and captured by Henry's troops led by Ranulf de Glanvill and taken to Newcastle, then transferred to Falaise in Normandy. Henry then sent an army to Scotland and occupied it. As ransom and to regain his kingdom, William had to acknowledge Henry as his feudal superior and agree to pay for the cost of the English army's occupation of Scotland by taxing the Scots. The cost was equal to 40,000 Scottish Merks. William signed the Treaty of Falaise, and was then allowed to return to Scotland.
The Treaty of Falaise remained in force for the next fifteen years. Richard the Lionheart agreed to terminate it in return for 10,000 silver marks on 5 December 1189.

When Christmas was banned in Scotland.
The Presbyterian Church of Scotland did not like Christmas and ensured that it was not celebrated in Scotland for some 400 years. The old winter festival of Yule had lasted 12 days and, Yule Day, as Christmas Day, continued to be recognised by the Catholic Church. After the Reformation of 1560, however, the founding fathers of the Church of Scotland had no time for Christ’s mass and other popish rites.
In 1573 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland confirmed the abolishment of "all days that hereto have been kept holy except the Sabbath day, such as Yule day" and in 1583 it forbade bakers from preparing Yule bread and mincemeat pies and ordered them to report anyone requesting them.
In 1638 the General Assembly reiterated the banning of Yule as a holiday and Parliament followed suit in an act of 1640. While this ban was officially revoked in 1712, it wasn’t until 1871 Christmas became a Bank Holiday and 1958 that 25 December became a Scottish public holiday.

On this day in 1782 Henry Home, also know as Lord Kames, died in Edinburgh
Lord Kames was a Scottish writer, philosopher, advocate, judge, and agricultural improver. A central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, a founding member of the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh, and active in the Select Society, he acted as patron to some of the most influential thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, including the philosopher David Hume, the economist Adam Smith, the writer James Boswell, the chemical philosopher William Cullen, and the naturalist John Walker.
Home was on the panel of judges in the Joseph Knight case which ruled that there could be no slavery in Scotland.
Home was a polygenist, he believed God had created different races on earth in separate regions. In his book Sketches of the History of Man, in 1774, Home claimed that the environment, climate, or state of society could not account for racial differences, so that the races must have come from distinct, separate stocks.

Sadly a day late but still worth mentioning. On the 28th of December 1734 Rob Roy McGregor died.
Rob Roy was a outlaw, who later became a Scottish folk hero.
Rob Roy became a respected cattleman - this was a time when cattle raiding and selling protection against theft were commonplace means of earning a living. Rob Roy borrowed a large sum to increase his own cattle herd, but owing to the disappearance of his chief herder, who was entrusted with the money, Rob Roy defaulted on his loan.
As a result, he was branded an outlaw, and his wife and family were evicted from their house at Inversnaid, which was then burned down. After his principal creditor, James Graham, 1st Duke of Montrose, seized his lands, Rob Roy waged a private blood feud against the Duke, both raiding his cattle and robbing his rents. Rob Roy's feud against the Duke of Montrose continued until 1722 when he was forced to surrender. Later imprisoned, he was finally pardoned in 1727.
He had also taken part in several of the Jacobite Risings.

On this day in 1971 the Ibrox disaster happened at Rangers FC football ground in Ibrox Glasgow.
The disaster occurred on Saturday, 2 January 1971, when 66 people were killed in a crush as supporters tried to leave the stadium. The match was an Old Firm game (Rangers v Celtic) and was attended by more than 80,000 fans.In the 90th minute, Celtic took a 1–0 lead through Jimmy Johnstone, but in the final moments of the match, Colin Stein scored an equaliser for Rangers. As thousands of spectators were leaving the ground by stairway 13, it appears that someone may have fallen, causing a massive chain-reaction pile-up of people
Most of the deaths were caused by compressive asphyxia, with bodies being stacked up to six feet deep in the area. More than 200 other fans were injured.
The disaster spurred the UK government to look into safety at football grounds and led to the publishing of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide), first published in 1973.

On this day in 1670 General Monck,1st Duke of Albemarle died in London.
Monck was an English soldier, who fought on both sides during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. A prominent military figure under the Commonwealth, his support was crucial to the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, who rewarded him with the title Duke of Albemarle and other senior positions.
He was named Parliamentarian commander in Eastern Ulster, fought in Scotland under Oliver Cromwell in the 1650 to 1651 Third English Civil War,. From 1655 to 1660, he was army commander in Scotland and his support for moderates in Parliament who wanted to restore the monarchy proved decisive in Charles II regaining his throne in May 1660.
In December 1659 he gathered an army of 5,000 foot and 2,000 horse at Coldstream, right on the Sottish-English border. On 1 January 1660 Monck started his march south, arriving in London on 2 February. He kept his intentions entirely to himself, but having assumed effective control of London.
