A great example of community during covid: @Isle20Shop now has over 300 island businesses from Arran to Unst and everywhere in between. There's a huge range of crafts, from soap to glass (to modern Harris Tweed bags...) and your support really helps folk get through.
A lovely obituary to Fionnlagh on @lstwrd today. Thanks to @agnes25SG and @RobGMacfarlane for taking part. He'd have been highly entertained that an Adabroc man would be alongside ASByatt and Rosalind Carter, on any occasion.

A late addition to #InternationalRepairDay - surely enough clues here to the owner of this piece, her view from home embodied in stitch.

Perfect mix of Gàidhlig/Perthshire/ riagail na monadh for @caldamac #ChallengeCalum
A rock art mystery. Chris Bond on Mastodon posted this rare vintage postcard (left) of a cup marked stone now lost to history, and another close by, also lost. I wonder if anyone in #Perthshire would like to have a look for them? #ReliefWednesday (well why not!) Short thread🧵 1/
ALT A very rare monochrome real photographic postcard of the cup-marked stone at Easter Tobairandonaich in Perthshire, titled "Cup-Marked Stone, Derculich". Publisher not stated, though the photo is identical to that in an article by John H. Dixon in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland for 1922
ALT Recorded in 1922: There is a cup marked stone on Balnabeggan farm. It is a roughly hexagonal boulder, with one side partly hidden by an old dry-stone wall built above it. The greatest width measures 7', whilst a diameter at right angles is 6'. In depth, the stone is at least 2', and it bears 59 cups of various sizes. Not located in 1975.

Call off the search! Mìle taing to everybody who's shared this.
This is Mary MacKenzie(née MacLeod) from Àird, Point, Isle of Lewis.
She only mentioned it to her son when he started work at Arnish.
Island women, eh. Hardy.

Leòdhasaich! Does anyone recognise Màiri chòir? It would be great to find out more about her, and about that unlikely surname...
Let me introduce you to the woman whose portrait graces the cover of my upcoming book. This is Mary McCleod, who came from the Outer Hebrides to Glasgow, to work at Yarrow's Shipyard in #WWII

Some old-style-twitter fortuitous connection and the wild imagination of Lewis artist Danielle MacLeod brought this extraordinary creation to life.
Thanks to @wildforest_matt @GalGael via pheasant plucker @alastairmci as well as @ArtistMcvey for gifting the feathers.
There's more of Danielle's unrestrained creativity on show @Summerhallery in Edinburgh for the next few weeks (opening tonight) before heading off to Japan.

For the healing well fans among you (I know you're there), this is a pretty thorough guide, with the curious exception of the Hebrides. For those wells, you'll probably already have Dr Finlay's book from @AcairBooks

Really weird canvassing tactics from the Central Belt parties. – at Lional, Scotland
Wow, Twitter is a horrible place to be if you are an islander. The abuse & trolling is awful. We voice our issues & genuine concerns, yet we are all liars? The ferries affect our lives every day. Yet someone who did an island hop during the summer a few years ago knows better?🤦🏻♀️
