I’m now available for scanning projects too (up to A3 size). This includes single and bound documents for all collection types. Get in touch if you have a digitisation project I can assist with!

1/3: In 2023, one of my aims for the year was to use social media to REFLECT my activities; rather than conducting my activities to FEED social media content. That, I think, was achieved pretty well.

2/3: In 2024, continuing on, one of my aims is to use social media to INSPIRE INTEREST in real and deeper things/understandings/people/businesses that inspire me and are part of who I am, as much as being part of the culture and history that this business aims to share.

3/3: I’m often reminded that we’re great at inventing lesser versions of ourselves, often accidentally, & selling it constantly & widely. I want to do what I can to challenge that & to be proud, honest, reflective & mindful of the reality of who we are, not the simplified version

Should have posted this yesterday, but here’s my non-#Burns #poem celebrating the #culture of #poetry in the #Highlands. This is a 1716 #Mackenzie poem with a slur on the #Munro, possibly written by a man from land once owned by both chiefs at Lochbroom! youtu.be/oiSNMKNzkds

Working on #accounts… thanks to Excel’s recognition of #Gaelic cultural assets creating huge income opportunities in #Scottish #heritage and #tourism! It’s a little-known fact that I also updated the #CullodenBattlefield accounts to“£ Scottish Gaelic” too. #SpeakGaelic #Cleachdi

Obviously I don’t know that Microsoft were recognising the contribution of Gaelic by making this currency cell option, but it’s a nice thought…
