Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… historical models. You’ll have seen from a lot of my other posts that my wife & I enjoy visiting historically significant sites. One of my favourite aspects of these places is the historically correct models on display that give a great idea of how things looked and worked. These can be most beneficial when visiting houses that have undergone many transformations, or visiting ruins.

This sculpture stands outside the House for an Art Lover, in the grounds of Bellahouston Park. It was installed by Doug Cocker in 1999; it is “a vertical, hard, contemporary image contrasting with the history-laden mass of the building”.
Hi All 👋 and welcome to the last Things in Scots for 2019; as I’ve been real busy at work the last few days, this is doubling up as a Fan Of… post. This month I have been collaborating with my wife, Susan (? follow this link to see and hear her post), and we’ve had so much fun that we are carrying on in the New Year with a weekly instead of daily post.
Hogmanay is the traditional Scottish celebration for the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
Happy hogmanay & all the best for 2020 to all

All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
