Who doesn’t love a good tartan jacket? Makes a big, bold statement. I was in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh recently and saw this painting of journalist Lorraine Kelly by an up and coming young artist.

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...

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."
