This piece is about drystone walling, and about belonging. About building something solid before building something beautiful. About making a life, and a place in it, with your own hands.

Open warfare in the Labour party. With elections to the Scottish parliament in May, it's understandable that Scottish Labour is so concerned.
"Anas Sarwar says he's calling for Starmer to quit because 'failures' in No 10 means SNP failures 'continue here in Scotland'".

Enjoyed this article on why small scale farming/agroecology isn't the answer to food security
I think this quote gives a good feel as to the problem that stops small-medium growers from getting a foothold, outwith the structures of power.
There is no system in place that gives Scotland any form of wheat security. We grow wheat. We eat bread. But the system connecting the two is missing.

For today’s #StandingStoneSunday here’s a photo from last October’s visit to the amazing Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis in #Scotland. This is a view of the chambered tomb which was added later after the main stones were erected. Amazingly the site was buried under two meters (six feet) of peat for several thousand years before the stones and site were rediscovered in 1857. It is a fantastic place to visit. #standingstones #stonecircles #neolithic #OhCon

The start of the inspirational Calum’s Road, built in ten years by one man across two miles of forbidding terrain to give access to the north end of the island of Raasay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/raasay/calumsroad/index.html
