11 Favorite Excerpts

In honor if it being the 11 year anniversary of the first fic I ever posted, Platinum Bound, I thought I’d list out 10 of my favorite excerpts from everything I’ve posted so far, 1 from something I haven’t posted yet, and then kind of just. Talk about it~

As always, feel free to talk to me about any of my fics, no matter how old or new~ I’m very vain~<3

1 - Come With Me - Prologue - 03/02/2015 - Completed

A day that was supposed to be filled with sorrow and mourning had turned out to be very lovely. The cold that had long persisted since November had decided to lighten its icy grip on this one day in particular. It was almost a tragedy in itself that the weather failed to match the mood by pouring a relentless downpour. Rain was fit for a funeral. Not sunshine.

The opening to Come With Me has always had a special place in my heart, and while I know my writing has gotten better since then, I always hold up this opening as like...my premium brand, I suppose. I love the mood the prologue sets up for Siebold’s side of the story. Mismatched weather. His parents having the same death date. A sense of odd relationship dynamics with them. Clear indication that there’s going to be a lot of conflict with Jean as shown by Diantha, Siebold’d childhood friend, who has a clear disdain towards him. CWM may not be my BEST WORK, but it’s probably one of my favorites. ALSO....come on...the restaurant’s name is Apple of The Earth, which is a direct translation of pomme de terre, which is French for potato. And like???? i just get a little kick out of it every time

2 - It Takes Two - 12/16/2014 - Oneshot

Siebold chuckled. “A water dark type? My, my. You’ve already put yourself at a disadvantage. Cress shook his head. “Don’t give away your secret ingredient just yet, Siebold. Leave something to the imagination, please,” he teased.

If there is ONE THING I LOVE it’s writing flirty banter for these two, and this fic if full of it. My first fic for Cress/Siebold, staking my claim on the pool noodle that is this ship. I AM the captain of this pool noodle

3 - Second Chances - Chapter 7 - 06/14/2017 - Ongoing

“It was supposed to be me!” . . . Shaking, she stopped herself in the front hallway. Looking over the large, glass-famed map, she felt as though she was leaving her own body as she slammed herself against it in a last ditch effort to feel something other than emotional pain. In an effort to put a physical wound to her emotional one.

There’s plenty of happier lines from this fic I could choose. Ch 10 had a section I was considering instead, but I think this emotionally charged section has always stood out for me. I like to generally characterize Cynthia as someone who is in control of her emotions, or at the very least, is very good at compartmentalizing things, but here, she absolutely loses it. No rationality. No seeking help. Just raw pain. It was supposed to be me. Because it was! It absolutely was! In the previous chapter you learn that Diantha had fully intended to propose to her! But was instead manipulated by her mother and manager into leaving Cynthia. While Cynthia didn’t know that, we do, and that makes that line so much more painful to me. I swear. ONE DAY. I’ll actually finish this fic.

4 - Fortune and Fame - Chapter 1 - 03/23/2016 - Completed

“The best part of that outfit would be taking it off.” Her mouth turns into a smile. “I should think so,” she tells you.

Second person POV is a HUGE pain in the ass, but I still love this silly little fic, and I love this silly little moment EVEN MORE. What can I say. I love flirty banter. This whole fic was an absolute experiment, and while it certainly could be better, considering 2POV is not something I regularly work with, I’ve never been too upset with it.

5 - Stockholm - Chapter 4 - 06/20/2016 - Ongoing

“You’re my mission and my mission alone. I don’t need outside help,” he tells me. I catch myself about to laugh. “Figured you would welcome it seeing as whatever you think you’re doing to me clearly isn’t working.” He moves closer, enough for me to feel the warmth of his body, but it’s only when I think he’s looking at my lips do I come to my senses, pulling my legs up to my person, and pushing back up against the wall. “I would say it’s working just fine.”

i like to think of this fic as me playing in a sandbox. i don’t REALLY know what i’m doing, but i’m having fun, and that’s all that matters. This is a fic I had been thinking about for the longest time. I abandoned it back in 2016. I don’t really remember why, but I posted the first update early this year, and I just. I’ve been loving it since. I haven’t played in first person in SUCH a long time, it’s just nice to play in the space, and explore a darker emotion I guess. Game verse Commander Saturn/Dawn is always a weakness of mine

6 - Shadows of My Heart - Chapter 4 - 02/22/2011 - Completed

Looking at Kellyn, I notice that he has taken his jacket off and is now offering it to me. Shaking my head, I tell him that I can't take it, even though I would love nothing more than to take him up on his offer. He walks closer, smiling as he places his jacket over me. Now, the only thing I hear is the sound of the rain bouncing off of Kellyn's jacket, and the sound my own heartbeat. I'd have to be crazy or dead to not be blushing right now, and obviously my pulse is still going…

if you’ve followed me for a few years, you might think this is a weird pick for me. i complain about it a lot. i experience a lot of visceral cringe whenever i reread it (Like i did just now searching for a section i liked) But that’s why I like it. I love having this visible benchmark of where I’ve come from, and where my ideals have shifted to. I’ve always written Kellyn as my Ideal Man™© and in this fic he is suCH A “NICE GUY” AND IT’S JUST. SO BAD. I’M SO GLAD I’M NOT WITH THE KIND OF PERSON I USED TO WISH I WAS WITH. This fic is, at best, clumsy. Younger me was venting a LOT of stuff. Everything I put Rhythmi through in the fic, I was dealing with irl, and NOT handling them well. I never recommend this for reading, but I list it here because it’s like looking in a time capsule.

7 - Washington Blues - Chapter 2 - 04/30/2012 - Abandoned Work

Looking back up at me, the afternoon sun shines on her face. As if I needed to be reminded that she is very pretty. “I believe that it is too soon to be giving a definite answer, but,” she pauses to brush some hair behind her ear, “I do believe I am going to like it here.” I nod, liking the answer she has provided. I put my pink bag over my shoulder, and step down the stairs. “That’s good to hear. I do hope you come to love our little band,” I say, putting a little emphasis on “our”. Hopefully she will start using that term as well.

This fic has been abandoned since 2012, but as I was rereading it just now, I...felt a weird urge to give it a second chance? Marching band was my EVERYTHING in high school. It was basically my personality. It and Homestuck. If nothing else, I think I might give this fic a redo, because it’s something my younger self would have loved. I had so many ideas I wanted to explore and I think it would be a fun space to explore. Just reading it I got the most tactile memories of band camp, from the sounds, all the way down to the god awful smells. One day I’ll give this fic another go, but probably in 3rd person lmao. Also, it’s kind of funny. I remember holding this fic up as like. My Magnum Opus. I considered chapter 1 to be the BEST thing I had written up to that point. Now? It’s so fucking D RY......and no real person talks like they all do l m a o I love being able to see how far I’ve come.

8 - Hindsight - Sometime Feb 2014? - Oneshot for an old RP group

This question led him to placing both of his hands in his lap. “I would never describe her as winter. It’s the season she hates the most. From what I’ve gathered during our travels together, understandably so,” he answered, not meeting her eyes.

While this fic is OLD it holds a very special place in my heart. I had stopped writing for a while. For about 2 years nothing I wrote ever really panned out, and joining that RP group was literally the best thing I could have done for my creativity. It was so much fun, and I met some truly incredible people thanks to it. Literally, everything I’ve written since I attribute to that group. <3 I may not talk to most of them anymore, but I have some of the best memories of that time, and I just. Genuinely don’t think I would have HALF of what I have written now if it hadn’t been for their support. <3

9 - Ours For The Taking - Chapter 2 - 01/28/2012 - Abandoned Work

Killing is in the nature of almost every Pokémon, but we humans have inhibited that out for the most part. It doesn't take much to trigger the instinct though. A couple kills and then they thirst for blood.

Now i know this looks like a WACK ASS PICK. It’s been abandoned since 2012. It’s bad. It’s gore. It’s bad. But that’s exactly why I picked it. That, and I know it would chap Farla’s ass bc she told me years ago how awful this fic was. The whole reason my writing confidence took a blow. I can look back and know that this fic wasn’t great, but I hate for my younger self that they were knocked down like that. You can’t learn the boundaries of your writing until you try to push them. Maybe I could have turned into a great gore/horror writer if I hadn’t been knocked down? Who knows? But because of that negative experience, I now approach all comments I leave on fics with “unconditional positive regard”. I firmly believe if someone wants con-crit they’ll ask for it, and even then, I’m not someone who is going to offer up that criticism. That’s not my jam. I’m just here for a good time. This fic may be bad, but that’s why I love it. I love how over the top, 2Edgy4me the two chapters are.

10 - Getaway Car - Chapter 5 - 01/01/2019 - Ongoing

Pulling away just enough to make them look at one another, Cynthia looked her over. She was getting more drunk admissions than she ever thought she would, and she was in no frame of mind to worry about pushing her luck. “How did that make you feel?” she asked. She let her hand trail down her arm as she spoke. “Grounded. Like nothing else in the world mattered except us in that moment. I wasn’t worried about filming, deadlines, what people might say or think, or– anything, really. All that mattered was the calm you brought me, and how without meaning to you’ve made me feel like the most important person in the room.”

It’s no secret that Getaway Car is like. MY BABY. This is MY FIC. MY BABY. I CHERISH THIS FIC FOR SO MANY REASONS. I like venting through characters, and this fic is no exception. But I loved writing this moment specifically, because it just...I think it encapsulates everything Diantha has been looking for. She lives a charmed, chaotic life. Up to that point in the fic, she’s with a man who can’t really be bothered to give her the time of day, but also can’t handle the idea of letting her go. Without meaning to, without necessarily trying to, Cynthia makes her feel like the most important person in the room. She grounds her, and someone who lives a star-studded life needs that. This fic is my baby. My everything. It’s probably what I’m known for at this point, and I’m A-OK with that because these two are my everything. (ALSO, I specifically posted this fic when I did to get Farla to leave me a review, and had a good laugh about it when she did. My “bat shit crazy” plot device has ended up being my most popular fic~)

11 - Namtaflu - Chapter _ - Draft from NaNoWriMo 2019

The sound of something rising to the surface of the water attracted everyone’s attention. Turning their eyes towards the water, one by one, countless Starmie and Staryu began to surface, floating atop the water, their bright gem center’s shining in the moonlight. “Oh, wow,” Bianca said, holding the Audino closer to herself. "What are they doing?” Hilbert asked, turning himself so he wasn’t having to strain to look at them. Cheren shrugged. “They’ve always done this.” "They’re looking at the stars,” Hilda added. “It’s what Nona would always tell me. She said she read it in a book somewhere. They surface at night to look at the stars, and they’ll even start blinking here soon.” As she said it, from out in the distance, quick flashes of red began to move along the waves, reminding both her and Cheren of fireflies from further south. Soon enough, the entire shoreline was filled with the water pokémon blinking away at the stars, almost as if they were communicating with each other, or even something else. A few Audino continued to sit with them, everyone moved to silence by the display, afraid to make a single noise, not wanting to scare them at all and make them stop. The display moved in waves, like a heartbeat, ebbing and flowing. At times they were bright enough to cast a glow onto the shore, and at others it seemed like they had collectively stopped for the night. Once Broadway and Manhattan had decided to retire for the night, the group came to an agreement that it was time they retired for the night as well. They had stayed up long past sundown, but it had been worth every second.

I won’t be posting this fic WELL until my three current ongoing fics are completed, but this fic is pretty much everything to me. I first got the idea for this fic back in 2013, my senior year of high school. I wrote the first draft my first NaNoWriMo in 2014, and did a second draft of it last year. This fic has evolved SO MUCH, but this last draft is where I’m REALLY happy with it. I firmly believe there’s never a “right time” to write a fic, but I also believe this fic absolutely benefited from me not posting it after that first draft. They’re almost two entirely different stories. The original had a lot of unhealthy relationship dynamics, and this time, i decided, FUCK THAT, and now it’s a hilda/hilbert/cheren/bianca poly fic ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I can’t wait for the day when I actually get to share this fic with the world.

Got tagged by @electricrogue (thank you darling!). XD

1. Are you religious/spiritual? - Kinda. I believe in God, and I believe in things like angels and ghosts and spirits who visit/protect a person... I don't believe in hellfire and damnation, but I do believe in heaven... Its an odd one, because I was raised Unitarian, and I'm fascinated by religion in general, but... I dunno. Maybe if I ever do the university thing, it would be to do religious studies. But yeah... I believe in a higher power. :)

2. Which Hogwarts house would you be in? - Hufflepuff. :)

3. Which skill would you like to learn? - Ballroom dance! Well, any sort of partnered dancing like that. Yas!

(I remember once, when I was about fifteen, I was in a group thing to make like peer support "counselors" - older kids being supportive of younger ones. Anyways, we were asked a question like this, and my answer was basically, "I know I should be saying stuff like how to be a better listener or a better this or that, but I want to learn to dance. I have friends who are so graceful, I want to be like that." Anyways, a little while later, out of the blue, one of those friends emailed me saying how it had really touched her and that I should dance (we were in the middle of learning stuff for The Wizard of Oz I think) and yeah... I wish I still had that email. Stupid Hotmail locking me out. :( Oh well.)

4. Would you rather: have the ability to fly/ have a coat that makes you invisible? - *Looks down* Am I Amanda Tapping all of a sudden? XD Invisibility for sure.

5. What good thing happened this summer? - Finding out I'm pregnant? Because I count summer as June, July and August... My birthday is next week? *Shrugs* Spring was waaaaaaaay better... XD

6. If you could become an expert in one area, which would it be? - Huh. Comparative religions? *Shrugs* Yeah. I think that's what I'd want to be an expert in.

7. Have you ever met a celebrity? If yes, who? - In the wild or at a convention? (In the wild being me not paying a ticket to meet them.) Yes, to both. Met a few Welsh celebs at various Eisteddfodau and a random food fair (Dewi Pws, the guy who acted Dai Sgyffalde in Pobol y Cwm, Sara Edwards (who did the news), Rhodri Owen, Gethin Jones... Elin Jones (she's something to do with the Welsh Senedd)... Like I said, Welsh celebs). At conventions, I've met Amanda Tapping (*heart eyes*), Anthony Stewart Head, Kai Owen, Eve Myles, John Barrowman, Garret Wang, Kate Mulgrew (don't meet your heroes *cries*), Virginia Hey (she remembered my name from me meeting her in the morning!!)... Christopher Judge!!! There are a few more but yeah... XD (I wanna meet Jonathon Young (yaaaaaas!), Huw Stephens (Radio 1 dj), Ben Browder, Claudia Black... Oh! And Matt Ryan and Taron Egerton (aka my Welsh babies). XD)

8. Are you ticklish? - Yes. Less said, the better.

9. What is your favourite swear word? Translate it to English if it isn’t your mother tongue. - Fuck in English... Yffach in Welsh (basically a kinda, 'Oh hell,' type of thing.) I do like hearing Asiffeta (another well hell type of thing in Welsh).

10. What does your last message say? - 👍👍 (My brother wanted to know timings for my birthday/my parents anniversary dinner thing and my last message was that. XD)

11. What do you spend most of your time doing? - Talking or writing (on Tumblr/messenger/ficcing). XD

I tag anyone who wants to play. :)

#ask meme #tag game #i love shit like this #thank you darling!

In honour of yesterday being the anniversary of the day Richard Spencer got punched, here are the lyrics of a song I came up with to commemorate that day, one year ago.

The lyrics are sung to a traditional Welsh hymn, Cwm Rhondda, or “Bread of Heaven.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPQPcPO4_l0

Guide me to defeat the nazis Taking o'er this barren land; They are weak, but we are mighty; Let them feel my slapping hand. Punch a nazi, punch a nazi, Punch a nazi in the face (in the face)! Punch a nazi in the fucking face!

Open thou a can of whoop-ass Whence the flailing fist shall flow; Let the meaty knuckles of justice Lead me to the follow through: punch a nazi, punch a nazi punch a nazi till he bleeds (Till he bleeds!). punch a nazi till he fucking bleeds.

When I start to hunt these nazis, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of hate, and bigotry's destruction, Land me safe on history's side: punch a nazi, punch a nazi punch a nazi in the head (In the head!). punch a nazi till he's fucking dead.

Today was is the 1 year anniversary of my fall and as such I took to the hills I love - up through Cwm Idwal to Y Twll Du and then on over the ridge to Nant Peris - rather more of a scramble than I intended but wonderful to be out in the hills again - the weather was ‘interesting’ i.e. it rained but the light contrast was amazing at times #hillwalking #cwmidwal #mywales #recovery #walking #ntwales #ytwlldu #devilskitchen (at Cwm Idwal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnThexJjm4/?igshid=ll94lbhwtdcg

After nearly rage-quitting Pobol y Cwm last November (they killed off my favourite character, cruelly and brutally), I am now ABSOLUTELY back in love with it. We're in the Age of Illusion, where lying is super-effective, and characters have lost their ability to see through each other. This has led to some amazing storylines. Also some incredibly traumatic ones. At the moment, Chester can't clear his name of a crime he didn't commit, Ed is being abused by his wife but is seen by others as the abuser, Colin's modelling career is incredibly successful even though he's awful at it, and Gwyneth managed to convince everyone in the village (and most viewers, I reckon) that she was in love with Siôn White (honestly, that's a real storyline). But something else is happening at the same time. In the 90s, the show introduced us to the Jones family. Father, mother, brother, sister - and they were a hoot! Brilliantly cast, they were sometimes a sketchy family of minor criminals, influenced by Eastenders. The years killed off the father, and softened the remaining family members. Fast-forward to the 2010s, and only the brother remained - Mark Jones, consistently the most popular character in the show. From his dubious classist origins, he's become a proud working class dad, an honest hard-worker who'd do anything for his son Ricky. Three years ago, to celebrate the show's 40th anniversary, S4C put on a number of repeats - the Four Faces of Pobol y Cwm, choosing an episode from each ten-year period in the show's history. One episode, from the late 90s, showed the Jones family thinking they'd won the lottery. They dashed around the village, trying to confirm the numbers, then trying to find the ticket they'd inevitably mislaid. It was a hoot! And here's what I love about ongoing stories - the current show has responded to the success of the repeat of the 90s episode. First of all, Mark got back together with Ricky's mother Debbie. Next, Debbie's mother (a glorious car-crash of a woman, a wine-guzzling addict of shopping channels with a sketchy past and sketchier wardrobe) moved in with them - having been thrown out of her home. Next up, Debbie's daughter Vicky turns up pregnant. She's since given birth to Nicky Stark Jones, newest member of the clan. Just when we thought we had our family unit, Mark's mother turns up. CATH JONES!!! Absolute die-hard classic soap character from the 90s, played by the amazing comedy actor Siw Hughes. I can't tell you how brilliant the entire cast is. I need you to understand how much I love this family (including Mark's sister Stacey, who's wonderful life in London recently came crashing down, and Mark and Debbie's eldest son Liam, a soldier currently serving abroad). They're constantly at each other's throats, and they'd absolutely die for each other. In the same council house the Joneses first moved into in the 90s, we now have Mark and Debbie, their mothers, their two kids, and their grandchild - all living on top of each other, trying to make ends meet, and trying to survive the Age of Illusion. I honestly thought I had as many Joneses as I needed. My favourite character in this family is *whichever one is currently on screen*. Ricky is the sweetest kid. Vicky is a whirlwind of fun. The mother are utterly glorious. And Mark and Debbie are such a lovely and believable couple, and they deserve so much happiness, and I'm so glad they're together. But what's this? A new character turned up on Wednesday. Her name's Non, but I only know that from the credits. She comes looking for Mark, and claims to be a friend of the family. Later, she finds Mark and claims to be a student, researching the Jones surname. "Oh, are you a Jones?" asks Mark. "No," she says. She asks Mark to fill out a form. Mark takes it and says he'll complete it later. Non follows him home, and knocks the door, asking if he's completed the form. He's bewildered, the interaction doesn't go well. That's the last we've seen of Non. She wasn't in the next few episodes. Guys. I REALLY LOVE NON! She's played by Gwawr Loader (with whom I was briefly in a choir in 2007, because Wales is small and full of choirs). I don't know how many of her *extraordinary* performance choices were her own ideas, and how many were in the script - but wow, you cannot look away from her. She's playing this character as incredibly sweet but utterly socially incompetent. She has a strange sideways smile and a stiff way of holding herself. God, it's just so unsoaplike, but it REALLY works. You can't not love this character. Her clothes are super untrendy, she wears massive glasses and braces on her teeth. Again, I can't work out if this is how the character was envisioned, or whether the costume worked around Gwawr's performance. Either way, she's like someone from a teen drama, and it's so quietly disruptive in the realist soap world. This is the first episode in years I've watched twice. I'm dying to see her next episode. I'm sure she's secretly related to the family, and I'm dying to see her meet the others. Oh, I hope they accept her! I hope she moves in to the house. The only space left to sleep is the sofa, but I really need this character to live in the village please.

No-one can doubt the contributions made by the Scottish settlers who came to Canada when the country was just starting out. One only has to look at the place names around the area such as Perth, Tay River, and others to see the foothold that Scottish culture has in Canada. At every remembrance ceremony, there is a piper playing The Lament and who hasn’t seen a head table piped into a dinner. And it is an interesting fact that the Canadian Armed Forces has more Highland Regiments than Britain. This is the point of the new exhibit that has opened at the Canadian War Museum, Highland Warriors.

On 6th June, 2019, the Canadian War Museum (CWM) opened its new exhibit of the Highland Warrior and how that culture has permeated the world. The opening ceremonies started with the skirl of the pipes as twelve pipers and five drummers of the Ceremonial Guard Pipes and Drums came down Commissionaires Way to Lebreton Gallery with the sound echoing off the concrete wall to fill the hall below. Once they were in formation and finished playing, Yasmine Mingay, Manager of Communications and Public Affairs at the CWM, took the time to acknowledge the presence of Mr. George Fouchard who was an RCE Mapper (cartographer) for the 1st Canadian Army for the Normandy campaign. This was of special importance as this day was also the commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and the start of the Normandy campaign.

First to the podium was the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Minister of Sports and Persons with Disabilities. She noted that the Scots came to Canada and brought their culture with them and in doing so, helped to settle Canada. They also formed regiments with her own family a part of the 48th Highlanders and she takes great pride in having danced for the regiment for more than twenty years. To her, the regiments “… taught me the importance of history, of remembering, tradition, and what it means to serve”. Speaking of her love of bagpipes, she noted that her father’s family comes from Aberdeen and were members of the Gordon Highlanders, but that it was her Polish-Ukrainian mother who played the pipes.

Next up was Mr. Glenn Ogden, Acting Director – Exhibitions, Creative Development and Learning for the Canadian Museum of History. He spoke of the remarkable legacy of the Scottish immigrants to Canada before speaking about the exhibit itself. He told of the 200 plus artifacts from various private collections but also those from the Glasgow Museum and Highlander Museums in Scotland. Everything from broadswords to the Victoria Cross awarded to a Canadian Piper during WWI (James Cleland Richardson, 72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Canada). He then gave a brief overview of the extensive work of the exhibits curator, Mr. Alan Carswell, who has come all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Mr. Carswell spoke of his time in the various Museums and collections that he has cared for and how esteemed the Scottish warriors and their traditions have become. As an example, he brought up pipers playing The Lament at remembrance ceremonies and how it has become an accepted part of every remembrance ceremony in Canada, the United Kingdom, and throughout much of the world. But mostly he spoke of the warriors as part of their community and the role they played within it. He said, “the Highland Warrior … is a very old and long standing figure of respect within Gaelic culture and in the Highlands. … The warrior was a respected figure as the protector of the clan, the protector of the people. So that tradition and that sense of honour transfers into military service very smoothly”.

He spoke of the peacetime drawdown of the regiments in Great Britain and with it the loss of some of the Highland Regiments. On a happier note he spoke of the Royal Regiment of Scotland (formed in 2006) which, along with the Rifles, is the largest infantry regiment in the British Army. The Royal Regiment is unique in that it is a merger of several Highland Regiments into one regiment of seven battalions. One battalion is a merger of the Royal Scots and the King’s Own Scottish Borderers and the six other battalions are formed from the remaining single battalion regiments of the Scottish divisions. While having only the one uniform for the regiment, each battalion retains their former titles and distinct hackles on their headdress. The Pipes and Drums of each regiment also continue to wear the ceremonial tartans and uniforms of their former regiments. After some re-organization in 2012, the Regiment consists of five regular and two reserve battalions.

The exhibit has many things to offer from weaponry to regalia and the history of it all. There is some multimedia to watch and one can even pick up a sword or learn about kilts in the interactive area. All this to show how much people are invested in the Scottish heritage and their regiments and the truths and myths of the Highland Warrior. If you love all things Scottish, then the exhibit runs until 20th January, 2020.
