All three top US and English boxers of the 1880s had one or both parents from Ireland, as did 1880s World Middleweight Champ, 'Nonpareil' Jack Dempsey, who was born there.

Scarificator, 19th century. This instrument with spring-loaded blades delivered many cuts simultaneously. Afterwards, the doctor placed a heated cup over the site. As it cooled, blood was forced out of the wounds.

The remarkable "firehoose" at Kirbuster Museum on Orkney's West Mainland. This part of the farmstead dates back at least as far as 1595, and the smoke from the peat fire simply makes its way out of a hole or "lum" left in the roof. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Been watching Rogue Heroes (on S1e6). Enjoying it quite a bit.
It's a mostly-true story of the formation of the British SAS. Kinda fun to be watching and Wikipediaing to learn fact from fiction.

Born #OnThisDay 1774, Charles Bell, Scottish surgeon, anatomist and talented artist. This stunning illustration by Bell was based on his own dissection work. Bell is perhaps best remembered for describing "Bell's Palsy".

Talking saves lives and we need to be honest about our mental health. It’s alright for boys and men to cry. Mental heath is just as important as physical health.

Tierney and McLean send Scotland to World Cup with thrilling win against Denmark
Hampden Park has hosted seismic, spine-tingling occasions in a storied history dating back to 1903. Add this one to the list. Scotland’s long, long wait is over. Steve Clarke, Andy Robertson, Scott McTominay, John McGinn; you shall go to the ball. So too Kieran Tierney, whose curler from 22 yards seemed to have sealed victory by the odd goal in five before Kenny McLean produced an even more spectacular fourth.
Almost three decades of frustration, during which Scotland have peered towards men’s World Cups from afar, were obliterated as Denmark fell to defeat in stoppage time. Grown men in kilts shed tears. Denmark’s participation in next summer’s jamboree depends on March playoffs. Clarke and a suddenly giddy football nation can start making concrete plans. Continue reading...
