A highlight of the trip was a tour of Harvard by my great niece Celine Muir. My sister Janette was as proud as punch seeing her granddaughters grow up, and no wonder when you see Celine thrive in one of the great universities of the world. A gem of a girl & a brilliant scholar.

Absolute goosebumps this morning at 2am, when the players and #TartanArmy started singing Flower of Scotland. 🏴⚽
Our view when the teams came out. A quite magnificent occasion for everyone, both Scots and Haitians but especially for me as my daughter and grandweans realised the full power of the Scotland experience at the World Cup. It will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Excellent news that Colin Bramwell's Scots translations of Fernando Pessoa have won the Oxford Weidenfeld translation prize for this year. 'Fower Pessoas' was a wonderful read: I recommend it heartily. @billykayscot.bsky.social. www.carcanet.co.uk/978180017464...
