Is it a Whig or a Jacobite song? An anti-war song attributed to Robert Burns who adapted an earlier version in 1791. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Live from Glenfinnan. Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear, Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, Ye Jacobites by name, Your fautes I will proclaim, Your doctrines I maun blame, ye shall hear #Jacobite #Scotland #ScotsLanguage #RobertBurns #Outlander

Excellent that First Minister John Swinney has visited the University of Aberdeen’s brand new Mumbai campus. Exciting times for Transnational Education.
Scotland’s world-class universities have so much to offer, and it’s exciting to see the University of Aberdeen's newly opened campus in Mumbai. Great to meet students today who are preparing to study in Scotland, as we build on the connections between Scotland and India.

I get why they didn't release it at the time but idk why they still haven't released it considering every other story Barrowman performed in is still avaliable to purchase.

We're encouraged to speak up, but rarely talk about what happens next. Nobody should feel unheard or unsafe for coming forward. I hope sharing my experience helps someone feel less alone and reminds those responsible for our safety why their response matters. ❤️
