As the media is awash with royal correspondents discussing nonentities with spurious titles, I think of John Maclean and his inspirational words: “All hail the Scottish Worker’s Republic”. I first heard of him there in Lenin’s mausoleum in Red Square in Moscow back in 1968.

The remains of Cairn Holy II - one of two Neolithic chambered cairns which overlook Wigtown Bay in Dumfries & Galloway. The Clyde-type chambered cairn was traditionally thought to be the tomb of Caldus, the mythical Scottish King. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Prehistory #CairnHoly
