Online course about the Scottish Independence Referendum

An online course titled Towards Scottish Independence? Understanding the Referendum started this week on FutureLearn.com, taught by The University of Edinburgh. It is a bit more reading and watching than I expected, but it’s really interesting.

The first live Question Hour was today — but you can still watch it — and there will be one every week for six weeks, answering questions from students posted on the site or on Twitter.

Did I mention it is free? 🙂 So don’t hesitate to still sign up, if you want to learn a bit more about the referendum than what the newspapers say!

Beating the MacGregors

Clan MacLaren doing an excellent job at the Lochearnhead Highland Games last year. I couldn’t be there this year either, but they informed me we beat the MacGregors in the Tug of War, so it was a good day. 🙂

One day I might actually join in the fun!

In a little under a month I’ll be in glorious Glasgow again! I actually haven’t been to the Necropolis yet my previous trips, so that most certainly is on our to-do list this time.

Our Megabus buses are booked, as is our hotel room — unfortunately Euro Hostels was already full this time — so all we have to to is pack and go.

Although I still have to find a nice venue to watch the results of the Scottish Independence Referendum come in, I’m sure I’ll get that sorted well in time!
