On this day in 1406 the 11 year old future King James the first was captured by English pirates on his way to safety in France.
Due to political turmoil in Scotland and the death of his older brother David, Duke of Rothesay, under suspicious circumstances during detention by their uncle, Robert, Duke of Albany. James' other brother, Robert, died young. Fears surrounding James's safety grew through the winter of 1405/6 and plans were made to send him to France. In February 1406, James was forced to take refuge in the castle of the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth after his escort was attacked by supporters of Archibald, 4th Earl of Douglas. He remained at the castle until mid-March, when he boarded a vessel bound for France. On 22 March, English pirates captured the ship and delivered the prince to Henry IV of England. The ailing Robert III died on 4 April and the 11-year-old James, now the uncrowned King of Scots, would not regain his freedom for another eighteen years.

On this day James Francis Edward Stuart attempted an invasion of Scotland in support of the Jacobite cause, trying to land at the Firth of Forth on 23 March 1708. The fleet of Admiral Sir George Byng intercepted the French ships, which, combined with bad weather, prevented a landing and James was forced to sail back to France and his plans to try to retake the British throne had to wait a further 7 years until the Jacobite rising of 1715, which also ended in failure.

On this day in 1603 Queen Elizabeth the first of England died. This led to James VI of Scotland ascending to the English and Irish thrones as well as the Scots throne.
Elizabeth would never name her successor, Robert Cecil, Elizabeths advisor, was obliged to proceed in secret. He therefore entered into a coded negotiation with James VI of Scotland, who had a strong but unrecognised claim. Cecil coached the impatient James to humour Elizabeth, which appeared to work with Elizabeth praising James highly.
James continued to reign in all three kingdoms for 22 years, a period known as the Jacobean era, until his death in 1625. After the Union of the Crowns, he based himself in England from 1603, returning to Scotland only once, in 1617, and styled himself "King of Great Britain and Ireland". He was a major advocate of a single parliament for England and Scotland. In his reign, the Plantation of Ulster and English colonisation of the Americas began.

We can only hope that the next First Minister will see sense and not challenge the Westminster block on the Gender Recognition Bill.
The Greens are the main architects of the "woke" agenda that is being pushed on the Scottish people. Even though they are the junior partners in the coalition, many have realised that the tail is wagging the dog when it comes to the SNP agreeing to all the Greens' policy demands.
So, hopefully, we will see them flounce off out of the coalition and disappear back into obscurity. The Greens are not the cuddly tree-huggers that many believe, but people with a left-wing degenerate agenda that can only make Scotland a worse place, not better.
Join us in opposing the woke agenda that is being Imposed of on the people of Scotland.

On 25 March 1005 Malcolm II of Scotland fought and killed the father-and-son rulers of Scotland, Kenneth III of Scotland and his son Giric II of Scotland, a Mormaer. The site of the battle is on the north side of the loch.
King Kenneth's Cairn was built in memory of the son of King Duff, who was killed in the battle of Monzievaird that year and buried on Iona. It stands in a prominent position on the edge of the steep escarpment of Corrie Barvick.

On this day in 1402 the murder takes place in Falkland Palace of David Stewart, 1st Duke of Rothesay, the oldest son of King Robert III of Scotland and heir to the throne. He is killed on the orders of his uncle, Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany.
David Stewart was heir apparent to the throne of Scotland from 1390 and the first Duke of Rothesay from 1398. He was named after his great-granduncle, David II of Scotland.
In late February 1402, while travelling officially to St Andrews, David was arrested just outside the city at Strathtyrum in a sting operation which had been arranged by Albany, at that time in complicit alliance with David's brother-in-law, Archibald, the fourth Earl of Douglas, who was offended with Rothesay for his unfaithfulness to his wife, the sister of Douglas. (David's father-in-law, the highly influential third Earl, had died two years before, in 1400.) The pretext for David's arrest was that the three-year period of his lieutenancy had expired.

The wheels of Scottish justice move extremely slowly, at least when it comes to investigating the SNP it appears.
But maybe we are starting to see some movement, as Police Scotland are now investigating high-value transactions made by the SNP, including over £80,000 in vehicle purchases.
There should be questions being asked about why this investigation into whether £600,000 has been misappropriated by figures inside the SNP has taken so long. The Police have so far failed to interview Sturgeon or her husband, who were in charge of SNP finances. It has to be asked why not.
The SNP is disarray and there is evidence of wrongdoing within its ranks. It is not serving the people of Scotland and its brand of "nationalism" betrays the indigenous population while favouring outsiders.
Scotland needs real nationalism, not this fake nationalism. Join us in making this happen.

On this day in 1625 James the VI/I died at Theobalds House in Hertfordshire and is buried in Westminster Abbey. The position of the tomb was lost for many years until his lead coffin was found in the Henry VII vault, during an excavation in the 19th century.
James VI and I was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. Although he wanted to bring about a closer union, the kingdoms of Scotland and England remained individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, both ruled by James in personal union.
James was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a great-great-grandson of Henry VII, King of England and Lord of Ireland, and thus a potential successor to all three thrones. He succeeded to the Scottish throne at the age of thirteen months, after his mother was compelled to abdicate in his favour.

The next few years could be interesting, after Yousaf won the race to be the new SNP leader.
Scotland has been in decline under the SNP and now the party have just put a man who has failed in every ministerial position he has held in charge of the country. Even his old school chum and Labour Party leader Sarwar says that he does not think that Yousaf has what it takes to be first minister.
It could be a painful few years ahead for the Scottish people - especially the indigenous population - as Yousaf has in the past declared how unhappy he is that White people are in charge of many aspects of running Scotland.
Yousaf could be facing difficulties within his own party too, with massive disagreement on subjects such as gender recognition and how independence is being handled. After all, only 70% of SNP members bothered to vote and Yousaf only managed to defeat Forbes by 4% at the end of the day.

On this day in 1960 the chepaside Street whiskey bond fire disaster occurred.
The Cheapside Street whisky bond fire in Glasgow on 28 March 1960 was Britain's worst peacetime fire services disaster. The fire at a whisky bond killed 14 fire service and 5 salvage corps personnel.[1] This fire was overshadowed only by a similar fire in James Watt Street (also in Glasgow) on 19 November 1968, when 22 people died.
The warehouse contained over a million gallons of whisky held in 21,000 wooden casks,and 30,000 gallons of rum. As the temperature of the fire increased, some of these casks ruptured, causing a massive boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE) that burst the front and rear walls of the building outwards causing large quantities of masonry to collapse into the street. This collapse instantly killed three firemen in Cheapside Street as well as 11 firemen and five salvagemen who were battling the blaze from the rear of the building in Warroch Street.

Yousaf may have been elected the leader of the SNP yesterday and looks on track to be voted in as First Minister of Scotland by MSPs today.
But it looks like he has a hard job ahead of him with only 25% of people in an IPSOS survey saying that Scotland is heading in the right direction and 50% saying it is going the wrong way.
Yousaf has been previously found in surveys to be unpopular with the Scottish public, polling behind Kate Forbes.
As Yousaf is seen as the "continuity candidate", who will just carry on with Sturgeon's plans, it appears that he will become even less popular with the public as they are finally seeing that Sturgeon's "progressive" agenda was leading Scotland in the wrong direction.

The new First Minister of Scotland, Humza Yousaf, proclaims his own identity while at the same time dismissing our Scottish identity.
He tells the world they can be Scottish simply by being here for just one day. He ignores the fact that what makes Scotland is the people with our culture, identity and heritage. His vision for Scotland will destroy Scotland and her people.
This social justice warrior supreme exemplifies everything that is wrong with the SNP and why Scots need to rise up and vote these traitors out of power at every level of government.
Their membership have elected somebody who is not indigenously Scottish as their leader and he has made it clear he does not care for true Scots. In fact, as you will all recall, he thinks Scotland is too White or in other words too Scottish.

On this day in 1296 the sack of Berwick took place. It was the first significant battle of the First War of Scottish Independence .
Edward I treated Scotland as a feudal vassal state, claiming contributions toward the cost of the defence of England. When he demanded support for his war against France, the Scots responded by forming an alliance with the French, and launched an unsuccessful attack on Carlisle.
On 28 March, Edward passed the river Tweed with his troops and stayed that night at Coldstream. From there he marched on the town of Berwick.
Berwick,was Scotland's most important trading port, second only to London in economic importance in medieval Britain at that point. Its garrison was commanded by William the Hardy, Lord of Douglas, while the besieging party was led by Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford. Contemporary accounts of the number slain range from 4,000 to 17,000.The English took the castle, whereupon Douglas surrendered and his life and those of his garrison were spared.

Love her, loathe her, or just don't really care about her, you have to give JK Rowling credit for standing up for what she believes and not being afraid to be labelled with certain names. Many nationalists could take a leaf from her book and stand up for what they believe in public, unafraid of the labels put upon them.
If you ever had any doubts whether the Scottish Government's Gender Recognition Bill is a danger to women and children you just have to look at the numerous cases such as Isla Bryson that have come to light recently. Nearly every transgender person in the Scottish prison system has started their transition after being jailed - a sure sign that they are gaming the system for their own twisted ends.
We should all stand up for women's and children's rights, not just when it comes to the Gender Recognition Bill, but the whole "woke" agenda.
Join us in opposing this and all the other "progressive" rubbish that those in power are trying to push on our nation.

The National Records of Scotland have released their annual list of new baby names.
The boys list makes interesting reading. And it's not because Noah, Jack and Leo sit at the top this year. There are no obvious 'New Scot' names in the top ten! Well until you take into account the variations in spellings and Muhammad/Mohammed etc. moves into 7th place with 259 births.
Demographic change is coming to Scotland. That is obvious. Sadly good names like Kenneth/Kenny were only taken 4 times and Simon 3 times.
Scottish Regional Organiser Si Crane (pictured above) was not impressed.
