Deeply disturbing that some landowners are touting the ability to deliver land use change at pace and at scale as a benefit of concentrated landed power in Scotland. Did we learn nothing from the clearances?
"Dictators can do things @ pace & @ scale - that doesn't make it in the public interest."
Today, @andrew_thin of @CroftingScot discussed whether large landholdings are more likely to attract private investment & deliver against woodland & peatland targets @ pace & @ scale👇

What a wonderful Gaelic night we’ve had! Sold out at @KomediaBrighton, @emilybarkerhalo opened with her mesmerising songcraft, and @kingcreosote & band stunned visuals with a phenomenal atmosphere and sincerity in his music. He’s also very funny What a special night tonight! 🌟

A very special @kingcreosote gig this evening @KomediaBrighton…with songs like Susie Mullen & Please Come Back…, you are immediately transported to another place…simply wonderful & yet another brilliant contribution to the live music scene by @MeltingVinyl
A total joy to be part of the Oban Winter Festival Finale concerts with this great bunch! @DuncanWChisholm @ShawDonald @herringtweets @kim_carnie @DougieMaclean @SorrenMaclean & special big cheers to @GaryInnes for curating! 👏🏽 🍺 🎶 ❄️
Not quite the show we had planned, but the 2000 folk in that beautiful room made it a really special night ❤️

Residential property sales @RegistersOfScot in Scottish Island regions. Interesting to note in 2023 the high percentage of cash sales (no mortgage) in the islands 57%, compared to the mainland 37%. Difficult for island youngsters to compete in this market.

So incredibly lucky & honoured to be part of this incredible orchestra on Sunday ❤️ an emotional and fulfilling closing to @edintfest. Nothing more worthwhile celebrating than great minds & great music with those of whom @cuillinmusic means the most. Keep talking about the arts!!
The @GritOrchestra closes this years @edintfest at a packed out @edinplayhouse
What a wonderful bunch. Thanks for another amazing evening

Admittedly, this may partly be due to the deficiencies in the census question.
But if broadly accurate, highlights 3 things: loss of indigenous population; failure of the education system; & lack of interest/commitment from newcomers.
Ten cars in the “unbooked” queue, except can guarantee they all have bookings for later sailings. An extra kick from @calmacferries “lifeline” service to doubley make sure that locals can’t get on the ferry.
Been waiting several months to have heat pump installed due to there being very few heating engineers in Argyll. Booked months ago & now @CalMacFerries have cancelled his booking on Monday morning. Literally every part of this house build has been a nightmare because of Calmac.
South of England swans in with a “solution” to keep Scottish islands a playground at a cost of millions £s (and an entire culture) 🤣 You couldn’t make it up.
“We’ve been coming here 40 years” said the couple who put a massive static caravan in front of our cabin this week. When I said “we live here, Sorren born here & this is our business” she replied “that’s irrelevant”… Well you can imagine how well that went down with me!
🤣 🤬
I'm angry about housing again and slightly less nuanced than usual. It's tiring being even handed all the time and it doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. 👇
