Received this photo today from someone in an Oslo library.
Tartans, especially in textiles, are intricate manifestations of Scotland’s heritage, style, and identity.
Where is it going in our future?
Where is the protection (other than Harris Tweed) for our iconic

Spotted in a Malaysian supermarket,
Scottish #FoodAndDrink stands proudly on the shelves.
Clear place of origin labels and branding means better sales and customer loyalty.
Scotland's name for quality is recognised and valued around the world.

Happy to see clearer provenance in #Lidl #Forfar
It's not about flags on food; most nations don't do that.
Nor did we, until the 'Great British' campaign displays of quasi-bunting.
It would be good to know where in Scotland this came from

Seeing as it's #StAndrewsDay, it seems like a good day to channel our inner rebellious Scot.
We love the new banner we have left on our mothballed profile on Twitter/X.

This is a pretty shocking example of poor 'place of origin' food labelling.
A display with the Saltire should contain Scottish carrots #MorrisonsSupermarket.

A genuine treat as 2023 comes to a close: a trip to the very accessible Arbikie Distillery for a wee dram of their limited edition rum cask Rye Scotch Whisky
Light, a delicate peaty start, a burst of apricot, ending on a caramel note
Lovely staff too.
