Today I visited Clonmeen cemetery where Hebridean warlord Alasdair MacColla 🏴 was buried following the Battle of Knocknanuss 🇮🇪 in 1647. The story of how this MacDonald clansman from the Inner Hebrides ended up in the south of Ireland is both fascinating and harrowing.

Flattered that my book Scotland's Turmoil - which comes out in around a fortnight - will be the first book published by Lexus Books' new imprint Historia. Here's to it being the first of many! 🥃

CONTROVERSY LAND. Another one for the funny Irish placenames list. Up there with Step Aside and Clutter Land.

Another family day out. Had a lovely time at Athlone Castle 🏰, even if anti-immigration protesters tried to siege the castle (no joke!). Hats off to Heritage Week for free entry, and to the Society for Creative Anachronism for historical reenactment - the medieval lathe shown was fantastic.
