Owners of an historic church near Dumfries, who removed two medieval bells from its tower without necessary planning permission, are still refusing to return them despite losing their appeal to Scottish Government and being served an enforcement notice. 👇 dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local…
Couple fight against return of 'priceless' bells to historic Scots church

Couple fight against return of 'priceless' bells to historic Scots church

Mark Huitson and Rachel Bonde believe the bells they removed from Holywood Church near Dumfries are linked to the Knights Templar and had to be taken away 'as a matter of security'.

In preparation for Dr @LizzieSwarbrick's talk next week on the history of Edinburgh's Trinity Apse, we've been looking at the now lost Trinity College Church that opened its Jeffrey Street doors in 1877. It's in the background of one of our director's magic lantern slides (1/10)

Another piece of writing sent off today - but the first one where I’m a co-editor. This one is a VERY FULL architectural and art historical analysis of Trinity, Edinburgh. She’s such a beauty but I’m done with her for this weekend at least. @RevivingTrinity

Have you heard about “The More Taubronar” before? 🥁 This #BlackHistoryMonth, Virginie Chaverot from @LivingHistorySc tells the fascinating story of the drummer of African ancestry at the court of James IV on our blog. 👇 ow.ly/11LM50PZHBR
