The fall of the Lordship of the Isles didn't just fracture a clan — it set off a centuries-long story of survival, rivalry, and extinction. In Part 2, we continue our deep dive into the independent branches that emerged from the ruins of Clan Donald, focusing on four clans that carved out their own identities and legacies — and honoring the branches that didn't survive into the modern era.If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, start there — we lay the groundwork with the history of the Lordship, its forfeiture in 1493, and an introduction to the major branches of Clan Donald.The Branches Covered in This Episode:

White sand beaches, ancient stone circles, single-track roads, and ferries that sell out months ahead. Scotland's islands are pure magic when you plan them properly, and we've just come back from an Outer Hebrides road trip ready to share the route and the reality so you can plan your own Lewis and Harris adventure with confidence.We start with the nuts and bolts: driving north from the Midlands, choosing the scenic Glencoe route, staying overnight in Ullapool, and taking the CalMac ferry to Stornoway. Then we get into what actually makes or breaks a Scottish islands itinerary, booking ferries first, locking in accommodation early, and building in flexibility for the weather. We also cover food strategy, from stocking up in Stornoway for self-catering to why reservations matter, plus a few standout places we genuinely rate.From there it's all on-the-ground tips for Lewis and Harris: how to handle passing places on single-track roads, what to watch for with lambs and livestock, when petrol stations might be shut, and why bilingual Scottish Gaelic signs are part of the experience. We finish with the moments you should not miss, beaches like Uig Sands and Luskentyre, the Callanish Stones, blackhouses, and local crafts including Harris Tweed, before giving an honest take on Skye's crowds, parking, and overtourism.Subscribe so you catch Part 2 on Mull and Iona, and if you enjoyed this one, a quick review on your favourite podcast app means the world.
Scotland's Outer Hebrides don't forgive poor planning. Ferries sell out, accommodation is limited, and the roads demand your full attention. But get it right and you're rewarded with some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. In this episode Tracy has just returned from Lewis, Harris, and Skye and is sharing exactly how she put the trip together so you can do the same.We cover the full route from the Midlands up through Glencoe to Ullapool, what the CalMac ferry crossing to Stornoway is actually like, and why you absolutely book ferries before anything else. We also get into the realities of driving on single-track roads with passing places, livestock on the road, Sunday closures, and Scottish Gaelic road signs.Then it's the good stuff: the beaches of Lewis and Harris that genuinely stop you in your tracks, the Callanish Standing Stones, the blackhouses at Carloway, local Harris Tweed, and a couple of restaurants and places to stay that are worth going out of your way for. We finish with an honest conversation about Skye, what it's like now, whether it's still worth it, and how it compares to the quieter islands.Part 2 on Mull and Iona is coming soon. Subscribe so you don't miss it.Show notes - Episode 96Support the show

Congratulations are in order for the Leadership/Student Council teams at all four HSD comprehensive high schools and R.A. Brown Middle School! Each of them earned the prestigious Gold Council Award at the Oregon Association of Student Councils Spring Leadership Conference on April 27 - an accomplishment achieved by just 25 high schools and 8 middle schools across the state!The leadership programs begin by setting goals in the fall and actively participating in activities and events throughout the year. In order to receive the award, programs must create and encourage activities that promote belonging among all students and provide a series of events that include a variety of different areas/disciplines. Along with involvement in the school, they must also demonstrate that they are gaining valuable leadership and professional skills that they can take with them outside of the classroom. OASC Executive Director Cameron Broome notes: “This recognition program is far more than a simple trophy; it is a rigorous framework designed to help students serve, learn, invest, and grow alongside their school communities. What is truly inspiring is the unwavering commitment these students show to servant leadership. They do not just participate, they lead with heart.”Way to go, Century, Glencoe, Hilhi, Liberty, and R.A. Brown!

In this episode, we chat to Greig McBride, creator of 'Scotland Uncovered', who makes the case that rain and mist aren't obstacles to enjoying Scotland — they're part of what makes it extraordinary.Greig shares a practical one-week itinerary taking in Loch Lomond, Glencoe, the west coast, and the Cairngorms, alongside an honest conversation about the pressures of overtourism on places like Skye and the NC500 — and why quieter islands like Mull, Lewis and Harris, Orkney, and Shetland deserve far more love.He also explores small but meaningful ways to care for Scotland's nature, whether at home or travelling further afield, and encourages everyone to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, treating the land — and the communities who depend on it — with the respect they deserve.Whether you're planning your first trip or your fiftieth, this episode is a reminder that Scotland rewards those who take the time to explore it thoughtfully.

What does it take to rule as an equal in a man's world? How did a quiet, devout queen help reshape Britain's monarchy forever?All this month, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is exploring the Restoration monarchs. In this episode, she focuses on Queen Mary II, England's first and only joint sovereign, who ruled alongside her husband William of Orange. Far from being a passive partner, Mary was politically astute, deeply devout, and a formidable cultural influence, playing a pivotal role in forging Britain's constitutional monarchy. Dr Holly Marsden joins Suzannah to examine Mary II's reign and why her story still resonates in the histories of Britain, gender, and political revolution.MORE:William III & the Persecution of SodomitesListen on AppleListen on SpotifyThe Massacre of GlencoeListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

As creatives you possess one of the rarest business skills there is, and you've had it all along... While visiting the breathtaking mountains of Glencoe on Scotland's west coast and the snowdrop gardens of Cambo on the east, I realised something profound about how we as creative business owners naturally see the world. We have this extraordinary ability to take in enormous scale while simultaneously noticing the tiniest details. And it's this dual vision we discuss in this week's episode as it's what makes the difference between good businesses and exceptional ones. Key Moments: [01:28] A trip to Scotland sparks a reflection on what it truly means to see the bigger picture and the tiny detail: why this ability is one of the most valuable things you have as a creative [03:59] The mountains of Glencoe and the snowdrops of Cambo: what the contrast between enormous scale and intricate detail reveals about how creatives naturally think [06:08] How this dual vision translates directly into business: seeing where you're heading while knowing exactly which details will make the difference for your clients [10:48] Why you don't need to become someone different to thrive and why fully embracing who you already are is the real work Notable Quotes: "You have this extraordinary ability to see what others miss. To take in enormous scale and feel it. To notice tiny details and appreciate them." Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Last weeks episode: 129.

El Departamento de Educación de Oregón publicó las tasas de graduación de 2025 el jueves 29 de enero. Los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro alcanzaron un hito notable en 2025, con un 90.43 % de los estudiantes del grado 12 graduándose dentro de los cuatro años posteriores a su ingreso inicial a la escuela preparatoria. Esta es la primera vez desde que el estado de Oregón comenzó a utilizar el método de cálculo de la tasa de graduación por grupo en el año escolar 2008-2009 que el promedio del distrito supera el 90 %. Tres de las cinco escuelas preparatorias del distrito registraron tasas individuales superiores al 90 %: Century, Glencoe y Liberty. La Academia en Línea de Hillsboro alcanzó la tasa más alta de su historia, y Hilhi logró su segunda más alta. La tasa de graduación del distrito es 7.41 puntos porcentuales superior al promedio estatal y 2.88 puntos porcentuales mayor que la tasa del año pasado, que fue del 87.55 %.Se observaron avances significativos en las tasas de graduación de estudiantes con discapacidades, estudiantes en situación de pobreza, estudiantes de razas/etnias desatendidas, estudiantes que en algún momento estuvieron en el programa EL y estudiantes que se identifican como hispanos/latinos y afroamericanos, lo cual se alinea con la prioridad estratégica del distrito de ayudar a que los estudiantes alcancen el éxito sin que este sea predecible ni predeterminado por su origen racial o étnico o cualquier otra identidad.

The Oregon Department of Education released 2025 graduation rates on Thursday, January 29, and Hillsboro School District students reached an impressive milestone with 90.43 percent of high school seniors graduating within four years of their first entry into high school. This marks the first time since Oregon began using the cohort graduation rate calculation method in 2008-09 that the district average has been above 90 percent. Three of the district's five high schools had individual rates above 90 percent: Century, Glencoe, and Liberty. Hillsboro Online Academy reached its highest rate ever, and Hilhi achieved its second-highest rate. The District's graduation rate is 7.41 percentage points higher than the state average, and 2.88 percentage points higher than last year's rate of 87.55%. Notable gains were seen in the graduation rates of Students with Disabilities, Students Experiencing Poverty, Students from Underserved Races/Ethnicities, Ever English Learners, and students identifying as Hispanic/Latino and Black, which aligns with the District's strategic priority to help students achieve success that is not predictable or predetermined by their race, ethnicity, or any other identities.

Febrero es el Mes de la Historia de la Raza Negra, una celebración anual sobre las historias de vida, los logros y los triunfos de las personas de raza negra/africana/afroamericana, y un momento para reconocer su papel fundamental en la historia de Estados Unidos. El Mes de la Historia de la Raza Negra celebra la vasta herencia cultural, los triunfos y las adversidades que contribuyen a dar forma a la historia, el presente y el futuro de nuestro país.Además, es un momento para reflexionar sobre cómo las contribuciones de las personas de raza negra/africana/afroamericana impactan nuestra vida cotidiana. Y si bien estudiamos y celebramos la diversidad y las contribuciones de las personas de raza negra/africana/afroamericana durante este tiempo, estas conversaciones y lecciones no se limitan al mes de febrero, sino que se llevan a cabo durante todo el año. Cuando la diversidad de nuestros estudiantes es apreciada y visible, todos prosperan aprendiendo unos de otros.Nunca es demasiado pronto para comenzar a celebrar y enseñarle a su estudiante sobre los líderes de raza negra. Aún más importante, es permitir que las historias de estos líderes inspiren las capacidades de liderazgo de su estudiante. Participe en los eventos, celebraciones y oportunidades de aprendizaje de la Historia de la Raza Negra que están programados en su comunidad. Pregúntele a su estudiante y a los miembros del personal del distrito sobre las actividades y las conmemoraciones que se llevan a cabo en su escuela. Vea videos, lea libros e interactúe con personas que representan la herencia y la cultura de la raza negra/africana/afroamericana.

Esto fue lo que Nicole comentó al enterarse de que había sido seleccionada por Yale: «Fue increíble, pero también intimidante. Yale era mi universidad soñada, no una meta. Hago esta distinción porque, sinceramente, no tenía pensado solicitar admisión en Yale.Mi meta era ingresar a University of Oregon con una beca completa. No creía que mi trabajo fuera «lo suficientemente impresionante» para una institución como Yale, ni intentaba que lo fuera. Disfruto mucho del voluntariado que hago y de los consejos y los comités de los que formo parte, así que ser aceptada fue un regalo inesperado. Tampoco habría sido posible sin el apoyo de las personas que me rodean… mis amigos, maestros, familia, las personas con las que hice voluntariado y las pasantías; todos aquellos que me dieron la oportunidad de crecer y aprender tuvieron un papel importante, y realmente no puedo expresar de manera suficiente mi agradecimiento». Obtenga más información sobre este impresionante logro y lea las palabras de recomendación y de ánimo de Nicole para otros estudiantes en nuestro sitio web. ¡Felicidades y excelente trabajo, Nicole! ¡Nos haces sentir orgullosos de ser HSD!La asignación de los fondos se aprobó durante una sesión especial de trabajo del ayuntamiento realizada el lunes, 24 de noviembre de 2025.Noticias de Última Hora se publica y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y al personal del HSD cada semana de clases.

February is Black History Month - an annual celebration of life stories, achievements, and triumphs by Black/African/African Americans, and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Black History Month celebrates the rich cultural heritage, triumphs and adversities that help shape our country's history, present, and future. It is an opportunity to reflect on how the contributions of Black/African/African American people impact our everyday lives. And while we do study and celebrate the diversity and contributions of Black/African/African Americans during this time, these conversations and lessons are not limited to the month of February - they take place throughout the entire year. When our students' diversity is appreciated and visible, they all thrive from learning about one another. It's never too early to begin celebrating and teaching your child about Black leaders. Even more importantly, to allow the stories of these leaders to inspire the leadership capacities within your child. Participate in the Black History events, celebrations, and learning opportunities that are scheduled in your community. Ask your child and the staff about the activities and commemorations taking place in their school. Watch videos, read books, and engage with people that represent Black/African/African American heritage and culture. Also, please plan to attend our district-wide Black History Celebration on Thursday, February 5, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at South Meadows Middle School. This year marks the 100th that Black History Month or Week has been celebrated, and the theme is music! Please join us for live entertainment, a complimentary meal, arts and crafts, student and local vendors, and more. Our featured student is Glencoe senior Nicole Ayala Congachi. She was recently awarded a full-ride QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship to Yale University! Nicole had this to say about finding out she had matched with Yale: “It was incredible but also intimidating. Yale was a dream school, not a goal school. I make the distinction because I genuinely didn't plan on applying to Yale at all. My goal was getting into the University of Oregon on a full scholarship. I didn't think the work I had done was ‘impressive enough' for a place like Yale, nor was I trying to make it impressive. I sincerely enjoy the volunteering I do and the councils and committees I'm a part of, so getting in felt like an unexpected gift. It also wouldn't have happened without the encouragement of people around me…friends, teachers, family, people I volunteered with, internships - everyone who gave me the chance to grow and learn played a role in this, and I really cannot express more gratitude.” Learn more about this impressive accomplishment, and read Nicole's words of advice and encouragement to other students, on our website. Way to go and congratulations, Nicole! You make us Proud to be HSD! First semester ends on Thursday, January 29. There will be no school for all students on Friday, January 30, for teacher grade prep; or on Monday, February 2, for licensed prep. School resumes and second semester begins on Tuesday, February 3. Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session. Please add the address to your “safe sender” list to make sure you always receive the latest issue.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of scientism. We talk about 6 problems with scientism that have been raised by Susan Haack, if we should feel bad about having some sympathy for scientism, and whether the contributions of all scientifici disciplines deserved the label of 'knowledge'.

Un componente clave de nuestro Plan Estratégico 2023-2027 es la incorporación de la opinión de los constituyentes. Nos hemos esforzado por asegurarnos de que las oportunidades para compartir ideas y comentarios sean diversas, significativas e impliquen un acercamiento intencional a grupos focales identificados y poblaciones históricamente desatendidas. Esto incluye nuestra encuesta anual para los estudiantes durante la primavera, reuniones con los comités consultivos de padres, conversaciones individualizadas o en grupos pequeños con familias o estudiantes, charlas grupales del superintendente con estudiantes de escuela preparatoria, entre otras iniciativas.También contamos con una encuesta para las familias, los miembros del personal y la comunidad en general, la cual consiste en solamente 7 preguntas. Por favor, dedique un momento para completar la encuesta y brindar su opinión sincera antes del viernes, 6 de febrero de 2026. Se tomarán temas y preguntas/inquietudes comunes a partir de sus respuestas, las cuales se utilizarán para definir las acciones de mejora de nuestro Plan Estratégico del Año 4.Nuestro evento destacado es la oportunidad única de la Banda de la Escuela Preparatoria Glencoe para presentarse en el Desfile de Año Nuevo de Londres durante el receso de invierno. Esta es la primera vez en los 40 años de historia del desfile que una banda de Oregón se presenta. El noticiero KOIN 6 News publicó una historia sobre esta participación histórica justo antes de que el grupo partiera hacia el Reino Unido a fines de diciembre, puede ver la actuación de la banda en el video publicado por Sky News. Durante su estancia en Londres, los estudiantes también se presentaron en Smith Square, un recinto del siglo XVIII. Agradecemos al director de la banda, Benjamin Adams, y al resto del personal y familiares que recaudaron fondos, acompañaron y apoyaron a los estudiantes en esta increíble aventura. ¡Bien hecho, Banda de Marcha de Glencoe! ¡Nos hacen sentir orgullosos de ser HSD!No habrá clases el lunes, 19 de enero en conmemoración del natalicio del Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Las clases se reanudarán el martes, 20 de enero.La asignación de los fondos se aprobó durante una sesión especial de trabajo del ayuntamiento realizada el lunes, 24 de noviembre de 2025.Noticias de Última Hora se publica y se envía por correo electrónico a las familias y al personal del HSD cada semana de clases.

In this two-part episode, we delve into the topic of scientism. Is science the best way to generate knowledge? Or are we giving too much deference to science if we believe this? In this first part, we discuss what scientism is, what - if anything - is wrong with scientism, and whether it is bad to be a scien-ti-sim-ist? References: Haack, S. (2012). Six Signs of Scientism.

Finally, as we celebrate Celtic Christmas, remember this: caring for the earth is part of the old traditions. It's stewardship. It's community. Clean energy isn't just good for the planet. It's a gift to our families and our neighbors. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history, yet too many politicians would rather toast billionaires by the fire than help working families keep their homes warm and their bills low. Real change begins when we stop letting the ultra - rich write our energy policy and run our government. Choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, greater freedom, and a world that can still sing for future generations. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

En el episodio de hoy os contaremos dos historias diferentes pero unidas por un mismo hilo conductor. Basándonos en un episodio de la ficción de Juego de Tronos, la Boda Roja, queremos aprovechar para contaros dos terribles episodios de la historia, la Cena Negra y la Masacre de Glencoe, y es que esos dos episodios unidos son el germen de la idea del escritor George R. R. Matín para idear su famoso relato. Nosotros queremos aprovechar la ocasión para hablar de la historia de Escocia, y de muchas otras cosas, pero sobre todo de traición. De cómo se articula, de moldea y acaba marcando para siempre la consciencia colectiva durante generaciones. Si os apetece escuchar un podcast de traiciones, este es vuestro podcast. Esperamos que lo disfrutéis, mirando por encima de la espalda. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
Dans cet extrait, François poursuit le récit de l'itinérance en famille à travers les Highlands. Glencoe et ses paysages iconiques, l'ascension du Ben Nevis sous la pluie, puis le passage par Glenfinnan pour apercevoir le train d'Harry Potter. Une route ponctuée d'arrêts, avant d'embarquer sur le ferry direction les îles.Pour écouter l'épisode en entier :Road trip en famille en Écosse : 15 jours entre lochs, pluie, moutons et liberté – Le voyage de François-----------Si l'épisode vous a plu, laissez-moi une note 5 ⭐️ou un commentaire sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify
Aujourd'hui, je vous emmène en Écosse avec François, Marie et leurs trois enfants de 8, 6 et 3 ans.Pendant quinze jours, ils ont parcouru les Highlands en Defender, entre routes étroites, lochs à perte de vue, ascension du Ben Nevis, paysages grandioses à Glencoe, traversée vers les Hébrides et retrouvailles avec le clan familial écossais de Marie.Tout au long du voyage, leur petite dernière a repéré chaque mouton croisé — et il y en a beaucoup en Écosse… ce qui a ajouté un certain rythme aux trajets. Ils ont aussi fait un stop à Glenfinnan pour voir passer l'incontournable train d'Harry Potter.Et comme dans tout chouette voyage, il fallait bien une petite galère. Une nuit, le vent s'est emballé un peu trop fort sur la tente de toit, au point qu'il a fallu réveiller les enfants en pleine tempête pour changer d'endroit. Et là, chacun a réagi à sa manière… ce qui a donné une scène assez mémorable….Si l'idée d'un voyage en famille où on s'adapte à tout avec le sourire vous parle, cet épisode devrait vous plaire.-----------Si l'épisode vous a plu, laissez-moi une note 5 ⭐️ou un commentaire sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify
