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.

The Witches of Scotland are campaigning for Nicola Sturgeon to publicly apologise for Witch trials between the 16th and 18th century.
Once again we see this perpetual idea that we must apologise for all of Scotland's past. The justification for this is to encourage an end to witch hunting in many parts of Africa.
Why should we concern ourselves with African tribes? It is foolish to imagine our apology will change their practices. This is but a thinly veiled excuse to force even more White guilt on our people.

Jemma McDonald has been denied IVF treatment due to being unvaccinated against Covid despite being advised by doctors not to receive one while pregnant.
The Scottish government has stopped treatment for all patients who are not fully vaccinated. This is sick. How dare the government stop us from receiving the treatment that we pay for through our own tax.
This is a clear breach of our rights and a dangerous display of government overreach. The treacherous SNP have much to answer for.

Since 2017, at least 852 babies have been born in Scotland with addictions.
Babies in the womb are becoming exposed to even more drug abuse and this number is continuing to grow. This is a crisis that is barely being addressed.
Handling of the drugs crisis has been a huge failure thus far for the SNP and now the most vulnerable of our people are suffering the consequences.
