For #MementoMoriMonday this week here's a wee look inside the late 16th century burial aisle of the Charteris family that is attached to the now ruinous medieval kirk at Kilfauns, Perthshire. (1/3) 🧵

"The Body of the Gentleman Beggar"
My good friend @SHeraldry sent me this remarkable tombstone to share on #TombTuesday. It commemorates Andrew Gemmels, the inspiration for Scott's 'Edie Ochiltree.'
Roxburgh Kirkyard, Borders.

The Lord Lyon and the Officers at Arms attended a training drill session on the 30th March under the instruction of GSM Anthony Gibson MVO at Redford Barracks.
The training was designed to improve the Officers marching abilities and was a successful evening .

Care to see a Scottish legal history moot?? On Sat 18 March, law students from Aberdeen and Edinburgh will go head to head to determine who is the rightful heir to clan chiefship - using the law of 1820 - as part of the 200th anniversary celebrations of @royalcelticsoc

Could everyone in Edinburgh please RT this to maximise the chance of finding a witness of the incident? I suffered a head injury and broke a few teeth because of it and so far there has been no luck with any CCTV footage. The exact timing was more like 8:15am on that day
We are appealing following a crash on Ratcliffe Ter, 8.45am Thurs 26 Jan, involving a blue Vauxhall Corsa and a cyclist. A man aged 27, the cyclist, was taken to ERI for treatment. If you saw what happened or have dash-cam please call us on 101 - Inc 0654 of 26/1/23

I lost my grandmas ring whilst in Edinburgh & I’m actually devastated.
I’m assuming I’m not going to get it back at this point but if anyone on Twitter has found a small gold ring with a tiny emerald surrounded by 8 small diamonds pls let me know 🙏

One of several fine 18thC headstones in Oldhamstocks Kirkyard, East Lothian.
A winged soul is flanked on either side by two faces (possibly husband & wife) above the words #mementomori beneath which hangs a macabre garland of skulls, long bones & hourglasses.

Found a locket at Edinburgh Waverley with a really old bit of paper inside. Clearly sentimental to someone. Dunno what chances are of finding but please retweet.

Its a wee tomb/crypt type building with newer church attached. It was in disrepair and has been a bit of a jigsaw puzzle

Calling all historians! I'm putting together the 2023 issues of @HistoryScotland, and it appears we're woefully short of medieval material. Got some research on medieval Scotland you'd like to share with a wider readership? Then please, please get in touch!
