Had a lovely time today at @KingJamesConf presenting on James’ use of his mother in his English succession 👑
Main takeaway from the day? My aggressive hand gestures whilst presenting…

The British attitudes towards multilingualism is an embarrassing and outdated colonial artefact.
Most countries embrace multilingualism - and a significant number focus on English as a secondary language.
If we want to be “global leaders” maybe we should speak like it?

🌳 The Darnley Sycamore has been inspected by our tree specialist following last week’s devastating storm damage. The tree is in better health than expected. With careful management over the next 3-4 years we are hopeful it will be with us for decades to come 🙌 (1/2)
ALT Collage of 3 photographs showing the Darnley Sycamore tree after storm damage. One is a silhouette of the tree, another image shows a Glasgow City Council Staff member who works at the botanics with cuttings of the tree for propagation, and the larger image is a wide photo of the tree showing the broken branches. The sky is blue and clear and the sun is shining.

Spent the morning talking about Mary, her relationship with her son and its connections to Europe for the ‘King James and Europe’ workshop at the College des Écossais (albeit online). A shame I couldn’t be in Paris, but at least the Glasgow weather is holding its own 🍂

It was such an honour to get to help out @scottishbktrust with judging this year's Young Scots Writer o the Year Award ✒️🏴 a deserving winner here, but if the quality of this year's entire longlist is anything to go by Scots publishing has a very bright future ahead of it!☀️
🏆 Up next, the Young Scots Writer of the year award sponsored by @educationscot... and it goes to Rudi Hawkins! 📖
While the bureaucracy of French archives continues to confound me (seriously, why is it like this) you do have to admit they know how to choose their settings 🇫🇷📚
