Loved your article @stevenrobb.bsky.social I didn’t know much about the Orthodox British Church, their covert Jacobitism, and their involvement in the Jacobite Manchester regiment. Thanks for sharing.

First time at the Beyond Borders Festival at Traquair House—left inspired. From @murrayp.bsky.social on John Buchan’s enduring relevance to @humzayousaf.bsky.social with William Dalrymple & Afif Safieh on Gaza, the call to reflect & act was unforgettable. 🔗 bbintfest.com/events/curre...

This is fantastic. Both this excellent episode and that more people can learn about our Scottish history!!

Looking forward to hearing this presentation on Buchan once available and sorry to have missed it in person.

Kelsey’s presentation was as animated and scholarly as ever. Thanks for making it happen, Darren!

An important reminder from Eisenhower in 1946: “World neighbourliness must be achieved, else we will, in a twinkling, travel a backward route over mankind's long and laborious progress from its ancient caves… We have come far along the road to a cooperative world, we must not turn back now."
