On this day in 1615 Patrick Stewart, 2nd Earl of Orkney, was beheaded at the Market Cross in Edinburgh for treason.
Patrick was the son of Robert, Earl of Orkney, a bastard son of King James V. He was infamous for his godless nature and tyrannical rule over the Scottish archipelagos of Orkney and Shetland. Patrick's financial mismanagement and his brutality against the local population led to him being summoned before the Privy Council in 1609, and then imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle.
After Patrick's imprisonment, he sent his illegitimate son Robert Stewart to raise a rebellion in Orkney in his favour. Robert seized the Palace of Birsay with thirty companions in May 1614, then occupied the Earl's Palace, the castle and St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. As many as 700 rebels joined the rebellion. Robert was defeated by a force commanded by the Earl of Caithness at the end of September, after a five-week siege of the Earl's Palace. Robert himself was put on trial in Edinburgh and hanged with 5 others.

On this day in 1603 the Battle of Fruin took place between the Clan Gregor and its allies on one side, and the Clan Colquhoun and its allies on the other. The Clan Gregor (or MacGregor) and Clan Colquhoun were at feud due to the MacGregors carrying out raids on the Colquhoun's lands. The Colquhouns gained royal support and raised an army against the MacGregors. However, during the subsequent battle of Glen Fruin, the Colquhouns were comprehensively defeated. Glen Fruin is in the Loch Lomond area, in the county of Dunbartonshire, Scotland. In the aftermath of the battle royal policy punished the MacGregors for 150 years.
Alexander Colquhoun, the chief, was chased all the way to Rossdhu Castle which afforded him some refuge. According to Fraser, 140 Colquhouns were killed in the battle and many more were wounded.Other sources state that over 200 Colquhouns were killed.

The NHS in Scotland is in crisis due to the Scottish Government's lack of planning and its ongoing restrictions.
One in 9 people in Scotland are on a waiting list and waiting times are just getting longer with no plan in place to bring them down. The number of cancelled operations are up and mental health services are struggling to deal with the fallout amongst NHS staff and the public due to the strain put on the due to the SNP ongoing restrictions. GPs and dentists are both reporting problems with staff numbers. The ambulance service are seeing waiting times of up to 8 hours, putting people's lives in danger.
The SNP have consistently failed the people of Scotland when it comes to the NHS and have no idea how to run the service and no vision for its future.
The people of Scotland need to wake up and realise that the SNP are a failure and that there needs to be an alternative to them and the other mainstream parties. An alternative that will build a better future for our people. A Patriotic Alternative.

As the rest of the world appears to be opening up and moving away from restrictions it seems that Humza Yusaf and his SNP cronies are still determined to stick to their Project Fear agenda.
Our nation is suffering from slow growth, a failing NHS and education service, a lot of which is down to the SNP's ongoing restrictions. They SNP are already refusing to relinquish some of the "temporary" powers that they forced through Parliament, now looking to make them permanent.
It appears that the SNP is more interested in keeping an authoritarian grip on the people of Scotland than moving on from the Covid crisis as the rest of the world is.
It is time for the people of Scotland to remove the fake nationalists of the SNP and bring in a government that will restore our people's freedoms.

The Scottish government seeks to reduce car travel by 20% by 2030 to reduce climate change.
We already know that the government soon wants to ban the sale of nonelectric cars, an insane task that will litter Scotland's countryside with charging ports.
Now they seek to reduce car travel. Their solution is bikes and buses.
Buses will not reduce emissions and cycling everywhere will be impossible for a developed country. The SNP are more desperate than intelligent when dealing with the climate.

This weekend PA activists took to the streets of Scotland capital to demand and end to tyrannical Covid legislation.
The peaceful protest enjoyed overwhelming support from the local public who are fed up of having their freedoms curtailed at the whims of a rootless international clique.

The oldest cattle breed in the world, the stunning and lively Highland Cow.
We in the Isles have a special instinctive bond with these animals, as they demonstrate highly sociable and personable behaviour towards people and we sweepingly farm and care for them to a greater standard of welfare than any other livestock. A curious and ancient bond between native man and beast.

On this day in 1587 Mary Queen of Scots was executed at Fotheringhay Castle after 19 years in captivity in England.
Mary had been wrongly accused of being part of the Babbington Plot to assainate Queen Elizabeth 1st. She was found quilty of being involved in the plot and sentenced to death on the 25th of October 1586 and Elizabeth signed her death warrant on the 1st of February 1587. The Privy Council decided to move ahead rapidly with her execution. Elizabeth later denied that she had wanted the death warrant handed over and acted on.
Mary was originally buried at Peterborough cathedral in July of that year..when her son James VI of Scotland and I of England came to power he moved her body to Westminster cathedral and had it reintered in a grand tomb near Elizabeth's.

The political establishment yet again shows its hypocrisy.
Starmer was surrounded by a mob berating him, not so much it seems about Savile but about his support for Covid restrictions. The establishment worries about his safety as they say he has been branded by opponents with words that could lead to him being attacked. The very same establishment that is quick to brand anyone to the right of centre, and even some that are close to the centre, as "Nazis", "scum", "knuckle draggers", etc, and which calls blatantly at times for them to be attacked.
They are happy for anyone asking questions about the way our nation is run and about the future our people to be hounded, attacked, jailed and made unemployable, but when it comes to their own it's a different matter.

Recent investigation has shown that NHS Tayside's cancer crisis could have been avoided if the health board had publicly supported doctors criticised by a report.
A report from three years ago stated that doctors were giving incorrect chemotherapy dosages. However, later investigation found that the dosages could not have caused any deaths.
After this report, patients requiring chemotherapy were forced to travel to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow to receive treatment.
What a mess this has caused. Sadly, the most vulnerable have had to pay the price for more NHS failures. This country needs big change.

This week the Scots took part in the Battle of the Herrings in France. The battle was part of the 100 years war between England and France. The Scots fought on the French side. The Scots had ,had a strong contingent of troops and nobles present in the French city of Orleans when it was besieged by the English. Further reinforcements of 1000 Scots arrived later under Sir John Stewart of Darnley.
The battle occurred when the French and Scots attempted to intercept the English resupply column . The English seeing the approaching Scots and French drew up their wagons in a defensive position.
The 400 Scots grew impatient and launched an attack on the English lines. The lightly armoured Scots suffered heavy casualties from the English archers and the French cavalry attempts to aid them were driven off by the archers
Seeing that the French infantry were slow to come to the Scots aid ,the English counterattacked the Scots/French force routing them. Many Scots including John Stewart and his brother William died

We seem to see an unending stream of hypocrisy from the SNP when it comes to climate change. Not so long ago Sturgeon declared a climate emergency in Scotland and promised to do everything possible to fight climate change and make Scotland a "green champion".
Now we see the SNP spending over ยฃ4 million on energy-guzzling electronic advertising boards including, ironically, ยฃ275,000 on displaying ads on them promoting green issues and carbon neutrality.
The SNP have also been slow to close down the fossil fuel industry in Scotland, a major part of their budget of course. Even though they have talked about the need to transition away from fossil fuels many times.
We need urgent action to tackle the environmental issues facing our beautiful country, not words, though Sturgeon and her cronies seem more interested in promoting immigration and LGBTQ rights than taking action to save our environment and make our country a better place for our people.
Time for an alternative, a Patriotic Alternative.

The UK's immigration policies are putting our children at risk. Our country is being flooded with immigrants who commit acts of violence and other criminal actions but are allowed to remain in this country.
A Scots 14-year-old was beaten to the ground and robbed by Youcef Boutoubane, a man who had already been jailed a year earlier for attacking another man in Glasgow and for his involvement in the robbery of a shopkeeper.
When will we see these foreign criminals removed from our country and a stop to the mass immigration that brings them in?
Our people need a government that will get tough on foreign criminals and immigration. We hear much talk from the mainstream parties but their actions show their intentions are either just words, are not enough, or in many cases they actually want more immigration rather than less. The so-called "rights" of immigrants and foreign criminals are put before the rights and safety of our people over and over.
Time to remove these traitors and let real patriots govern.

On this day in 1567 Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley was murdered at Kirk o Fields, Edinburgh.
Darnley was an English nobleman who was the second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots and the father of James VI of Scotland and I of England. Through his parents he had claims to both the Scottish and English thrones, and from his marriage in 1565 he was king consort of Scotland .He was the father of James VI of Scotland,I of England.
Darnley had become very unpopular with most of the Scottish establishment and on the night of the 10th of February his lodgings were ripped apart by an explosion.his body and that of his servant were found nearby, apparently having been strangled rather than killed in the explosion. Suspicion was placed upon Queen Mary and the Earl of Bothwell, whom Mary went on to marry three months after Darnley's murder. Bothwell was indicted for treason and acquitted, but six of his servants and acquaintances were subsequently arrested, tried, and executed for the crime.

New homes have been built on Staffin, Skye to encourage families to move to the Island due to depopulation.
These are the first new homes to built on Staffin in 23 years, managing to attract six new families to the Isle. Skye has been facing depopulation issues for years due to many families moving away to the mainland.
Skye would not be facing these issues if it weren't for the vicious anti-White agenda attacking our people. If Scottish families and local communities were promoted again, Skye would have no need for newcomers.

On this day in 1893 the author and poet Nan Shepherd was born in Cults, Aberdeenshire. She set her novels in the North East of Scotland and also wrote about the Cairngorms.
In 1928 she published The Quarry Wood. Written in Scots and set in a north-eastern community, it tells the story of a young woman's pursuit of a university education. Comparisons with Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song, written four years later, are inevitable, but Shepherd's book is perhaps more realistic in tone and setting. Two more novels followed: The Weatherhouse in 1930 and A Pass in the Grampians in 1933. All three were highly acclaimed at the time, both in the UK and in the USA, and while their popularity since has ebbed and flowed, they remain among the classics of 20th century Scottish literature.
A collection of poetry, In the Cairngorms, appeared in 1934, in which she revealed her love of the mountains. This theme continued in her non-fiction work Living Mountain: Celebration of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland.

Many Scottish families are struggling after the crushing lockdowns put in place by the SNP. How can Scots be expected to pay rising prices when many of us were not even making a steady income?
Rather than forcing us to rely on handouts, the Scottish government should be promoting Scottish jobs for Scottish people, rather than for foreigners.

A Fife councillor - and Head of Housing for Fife Council - seems more concerned about the plight of foreign "refugees" than the indigenous population that he is supposed to represent and make life better for.
John Mills is complaining that the "refugees" are stuck in hotel accommodation rather than being quickly moved into council housing. I am sure that there are many people in Fife who would love to be in hotel accommodation with paid meals, free WiFi etc, as Fife received 2622 homeless applications from Scots in 2019/20 - one of the highest numbers of any council in Scotland.
Fife Council took in 86 "Afgan refugees" last year, while its own people struggle to even get a reply from the council housing department and many sit for years on housing lists with no hope for being given a home of their own.
It's time Mills and many other politicians in Scotland worried more about their own people and less about people they are Importing from abroad. Our people should come first, always.
