It took 1000 of the strongest trained Haggis to drag that pie to where the photo was taken, they are just out of frame drinking whiskey from troughs as a reward for a hard day of work.

[@calderwood-qg7vh]

I hope they were drinking whisky and not foreign whiskey.

[@Mkiageo]

lovely pictures. my great grandfather was crushed to death by a giant piece of macaroni falling from that pie. he died a hero

[@DasTubemeister]

My great grandfather helped to bake the giant macaroni pie. His name was Tony Mac Aronie. His name lives on in a chain of Italian restaurants in Scotland called Tony Macaroni.

Fabulous photos! Thank you. I’m Scottish (Glaswegian) and haven’t seen most of these photos before. However, I’m finding it difficult to believe the Macaroni pie is genuine!! Never heard of this or seen this photo before. I think it’s highly unlikely such a thing would have occurred. 😂

The picture of the Mather family in Dundee, with their musical instruments, brings back memories. They owned the Temperance Hotel opposite the railway station, now the Malmaison. They built a holiday home further up the coast at Easthaven to get away from the city in the summer and I lived there for a number of years after buying and renovating it. The head of the family never got to enjoy it as he died there, reportedly on the first night he stayed there. 😢

Really interesting and great photos. The two Sergeants are indeed from the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders (The Royal Regiment of Scotland is a recent creation - although the 42nd (Black Watch) were known as the Royal Highlanders). The 93rd were the origin of the term Thin Red Line at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War (or to be strictly correct Times War Correspondent W.H. Russell wrote "a thin red streak tipped with a line of steel). The two Men in Kilts, Glasgow 1928 are Privates in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (after the 1881 merger of the two Regiments) and are wearing the Regiment's 'Swinging Six' sporrans. Five of the six Highland Regiments each had their own pattern sporrans and the other, the Highland Light Infantry (in which actor David Nivan was a pre-WW2 2nd Lieutenant) wore trews.

Great job with these pictures, looks amazing. What they are doing with the new buildings is just outrageous and unacceptable. There are ways and a ways to build new buildings, surely destroying the identity of a land covering every single empty space with prison-looking squares - altogether replacing old building with them - is not a way. Respect the architecture and the history of Scotland and stop this obscenity.

[@marynadononeill]

The fancy buildings were fancy because of the plundering British empire. Empire gone by 1947, hence less plunder and crappy architecture.

Because Scotland was taken over by England and all of it's land was given to English nobles, that is our history. Nobody Scottish owns any of Scotland. Also, the name Sutherland is an English name, not an old Scots one. The clue is in the name - Suth (South) erland. Look at their faces. Do they look like Scots features to you?

12:00 - I’m from here, the Curling Club still exists and people still do curling here albeit not on the loch unless it does freeze over which hasn’t happened in years and years. A friend I went to school with did curling. Also Loch is our word for lake, so you’ve basically put lake twice. I thought it was common knowledge that loch means lake.

Too many others of these men died in the following two World Wars and the brutally fought continental battles to crush the English Colonial rebellions that saw thousands of Young Scots soldiers pitted against the Colonial peoples who like ourselves, only wanted freedom from London English misrule, greed and corruption. Scotland has to this day suffered as much as any of those now Independent nations as we remain in chains to the evil entitled rogues and treachery of that same English misrule. For too long we have like Wales and Northern Ireland, remained prisoners to the whims of criminal Westminter policies that have for too long lied and. cheated to retain control of our ancient Scots country and wealth.
