On this day in 1638 the National covenant was signed.
The National Covenant (Scottish Gaelic: An Cùmhnant Nàiseanta) was an agreement signed by the people of Scotland in 1638 in opposition to the proposed reforms of the Church of Scotland (also known as The Kirk) by King Charles I. The king's efforts to impose changes on the church in the 1630s caused widespread protests across Scotland, leading to the organisation of committees to coordinate opposition to the king. Facing royal opposition to the movement, its leaders arranged the creation of the National Covenant, which was designed to bolster the movement by tapping into patriotic fervour and became widely adopted throughout most of Scotland.
The Covenant opposed changes to the Church of Scotland, and committed its signatories to stand together in the defence of the nation's religion. Charles saw this as an act of rebellion against his rule, leading to the Bishops' Wars, the result of which required him to call an English Parliament.

Early this morning, a few activists from PA Scotland North East met up on the beach for a bit of physical training on the sandy surface. As nationalists, we believe that training the body as well as training the mind are important factors toward making ourselves better people.
The fresh breeze from the sea and the cold sand underfoot added an extra edge to today's cardio session and the team decided to head off for a well deserved breakfast and some PA banter afterwards.

Sturgeon could be facing a revolt within her own party over her attempts to pass the gender recognition bill.
It appears that 10+ SNP MSPs are demanding a free vote on the bill, some saying it is a matter of conscience and others raising other issues like women's rights. The issue is so emotive that it may lead to further splits within the SNP in the future.
Sturgeon has made this the most important piece of legislation for her party and will seek to crush any dissent over it.
The gender recognition bill is a piece of legislation that can cause nothing but damage to this country and its young people. It should be opposed with all the means at our disposal. If the SNP/Green alliance manage to pass the legislation, which sadly is most likely to happen, we must work to make sure that they are punished at the polls for this.

On this day in 1546 George Wishart was burned at the stake in St Andrews, Fife as a heretic.
Wishart was a Scottish Protestant Reformer. He was educated at the University of Aberdeen (then recently founded) and travelled afterwards on the Continent. It is thought that it was while he was abroad that he first turned attention to the study of the Reformed doctrines. He returned to Scotland after teaching in England. He preached to the people with much acceptance at Montrose, Dundee, and throughout Ayrshire.
On passing east to the Lothians, Wishart, who spoke latterly as in near prospect of death, was apprehended by Bothwell in the house of Cockburn, of Ormiston. He was carried captive to St Andrews, where he was tried by a clerical Assembly, found guilty, and condemned as an obstinate heretic. The following day he was executed at the stake on Castle Green, his persecutor, Cardinal David Beaton, looking on the scene from the windows of the castle, where he himself would be assassinated within three months.

Not a good start to the week for the SNP, as their flagship National strategy for economic transformation has been rejected by the influential Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC).
The STUC represents over 500,000 workers across Scotland and says the plan is a missed opportunity.
Once again we see that the SNP has a lack of ambition and has no idea how to run the Scottish economy or make the lives of the people of Scotland better in the long term.
Time to vote these inept politicians out and install an alternative: a Patriotic Alternative.

Scotland: Remembering a Victim of Multiculturalism
This month PA Scotland remembers another forgotten White Scottish victim of the multiculturalism that has been forced upon our country by the political and liberal "elites" of the United Kingdom.
On this day in 1316 King Robert II of Scptland was born at Paisley Abbey in Renfrewshire.
Robert II was the son of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland and Marjorie, daughter of King Robert I, he was the first monarch of the House of Stewart. Upon the death of his uncle, King David II, Robert succeeded to the throne.

Sturgeon and her SNP/Green alliance seem determined to shut down the fossil fuel industry, even though just now is probably the worst time to push forward with this, with oil at a ten-year high and natural gas having jumped massively in the last few months and no respite from these rises in sight.
The SNP seem to have no effective plan to replace these, with their renewable energy drive appearing to be a failure when it comes to producing enough power and keeping prices down. Their opposition to nuclear power has not helped this situation.
They also seem to not care about the 10,000s of jobs in the oil industry and allied industries that would be lost. Years ago they predicted a green jobs bonanza for Scotland but there are no signs of this.
Now is not the time to rapidly move forward with this charge to shut down the oil and gas industry in Scotland. Such a move can only inflict more pain on a people already suffering with rising inflation, taxes and fuel costs.

The Death of Comedy
Karen Dunbar, a well know Scottish comedian, made a startling discovery when she viewed some episodes of a cult TV comedy show, Chewin' The Fat, that she was involved in twenty years ago. These episodes were due to be rebroadcast by the BBC, but what Dundar…
On this day in 1847 Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh.
Bell was a Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.
Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf; profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone, on March 7, 1876. Bell considered his invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.
Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics.

On this day in 1756, Sir Henry Raeburn, one of Scotland's most well known painters, was born in Stockbridge, Edinburgh.
Originally apprenticed to a goldsmith, Henry Raeburn showed enormous artistic talent as a young man. In 1784 he moved to London where he met the important portrait painter Joshua Reynolds. He spent some time in Italy but returned to Edinburgh in 1787 where he began painting portraits of the rich, famous and important people of his day. He was in constant demand and received many honours: in 1822 he was knighted when the King visited Edinburgh. Sir Henry Raeburn died a year later.

On this day in 1457 King James II banned golf and football in Scotland.
James I had already banned the playing of football in 1424 when the playing of it was punished by a fine of 4 pence.
Football continued to grow though and that is why James II brought in new legislation against football but also for the first time golf. The reason behind the ban was that military training was compulsory for all male Scots but it was felt that too much time was being spent playing ball games and not enough on martial skills.
The new legislation brought in a fine of upto 40 shillings. It appears from records that fines were actually collected. Various trade groups also banned their apprentices from indulging in the games.

A special unit has been set up within the Crown Office to investigate over 4000 deaths that resulted from Covid.
The unit will look at whether company and care home bosses should face corporate manslaughter charges over failures that led to deaths within their facilities.
All well and good, but if care home bosses are going to be investigated and face serious charges so should Sturgeon and the SNP. It was their actions in forcing untested patients out of hospitals and into care homes that led to the spread of the virus between those facilties. This, along with other failures of the SNP government during the Covid crisis, must be investigated and any politicians found to be complicit in the decisions (or lack of them) should face justice as well.
Will the politicians of our nation escape scrutiny and justice over their actions? Surely this is not right and they too should have their day in court.
