A screenshot of a book called The Lowland Clearances, Scotland’s Silent Revolution, 1760 - 1830. Written by Pete Aitchison and Andrew Cassell.
A compelling book.
It should be read widely; used as a resource in classrooms across Scotland.

Scottish #ArtsAndCrafts, traditional hand-crafted #jewellery, and a solid example of how #Community works.
A lovely wee story

It is my view that #GeneticEditing is useful science, but that it should be kept in the laboratory, not out in fields across Scotland.
CRISPR technology offers significant potential for insight and development but I think that Scotland is better served by being somewhere #OrganicFarms can flourish.
It could be argued that this makes it even more crucial there remain nations which are not using such technologies as standard.
Some test crops show mistakes can be made. If those mistakes get into wild populations you can end up in uncharted territory with many regrets, as evidenced elsewhere.

“There will be countries all over the world doing the same thing but to be a place where nations can come to get seed, food and drink that doesn’t have any of those concerns is so important, especially if you’re looking at the organic market”

Lots of folk would like to buy Scottish but can't find local produce clearly labelled.
#keepScotlandtheBrand is not about boycotts, which just hurt Scottish jobs.
Take positive action with the #keepScotlandtheBrand direct action campaign.

Supermarkets have immense influence over the food and drink we see on the shelves and huge control, for better and worse. As customers, we can make the choice to help change things for the better.

My latest column @scotnational.bsky.social
'MORE than 80% of Scots say where their food comes from matters to them, but fewer than half say they are given enough information about where it is produced, according to new research by the National Farmers’ Union of Scotland' @nfuscotland.bsky.social
www.thenational.scot/politics/258...
'We know the people producing Scotland’s food and drink do a solid job of delivering traceable high-quality items. From farmers to food scientists, trading standards [ @fsscot.bsky.social] and beyond, we have a system which works hard to keep us safe'

Businesses which could be doing more can be encouraged to make meaningful changes when we write to customer service departments, speak to managers and vote with our wallets.
Send polite feedback to the shops we buy our food from.

Promotional graphic for a new blog post by Laura Wilson, Head of Public Health Nutrition at Food Standards Scotland. The blog discusses high fat, salt, and sugar (HFSS) food and drinks regulations in Scotland. Includes a portrait of Laura Wilson and the Food Standards Scotland logo.
New advertising restrictions for HFSS food and drinks - a positive step for Scotland - but not the full picture.
Read our latest blog by Laura Wilson, Head of Public Health Nutrition at Food Standards Scotland, on what’s changed and what still needs to happen.

'Carved in Stone' is a new book about the #Picts

This is good news for Scotland’s #Dairy sector, and good news for Scotland
When we started working to #keepScotlandtheBrand, there were those who derided the issues we raised
It is good to see the campaign for Scotland’s brand - supported by thousands of people - now recognised the UK Government
#Scotland produces so many delicious #Dairy products.
The Spanish are in for a cheesey treat.
Of course, trade across European markets would be so much easier without #Brexit dragging us down
But today is a good day for #ScottishDairy

#Ardnamurchan is a beautiful place, shaped by centuries of history.
The Clearances had a devastating impact on the people who lived there but the community endured.
This book is the result of three years of work with the people who make Ardnamurchan what it is today: so much more than a postcard.
This looks like an amazing book by photographer #GlynSatterly, celebrating the community who live in Ardnamurchan, set in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Scotland
Available through the #Ardnamurchan Distillery shop @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social: ardnamurchandistillery.com/product/comi...
