Are they still functional?

They were kicked-out of their traditional/long standing meeting place, along with the small group of Orangemen who used it on other nights when it changed hands around the Pandemic. Not heard if they found another venue yet and their previous attempt to relocate to a community hall got a resounding FU from the locals.

There is still no great shortage of lower-grade racist/RW types going about though.

Yeah, they disappeared around the time of the pandemic. Haven’t heard anything of them since ‘life as normal’ resumed, thankfully.

They were bossed by one extremely malign individual who also seems to have disappeared. The one that was photographed campaigning for No with Anne Begg during the 2014 referendum.

I think I know the one you mean. He was the one who wanted to "engage" with local democracy by taking the NF into community facilities - Which resulted in local democracy making it very clear they didn't want anything at all to do with them.

Crail harbour.

Kingsbarns beach.

Fife Ness.

Spent a couple of nights in Crail this week. Hadnt been since 1979 or 1980. Brought back some good memories of holidays spent there in the 70s.

I've been on that wee green boat (the Lily ii) as part of a flotilla for the Cellardyke Sea Queen festival.

I visit Orkney quite a lot because my daughter and grandsons live there. Here's a photo of a canoe/kayak workshop in Stromness.

Subject of a recent documentary about their long running ‘men only’ status challenged & ended by a determined group of women.

One of the few places in the city I won’t set foot in.

One of the few places in the city I won’t set foot in.

Because of 50 years ago or something more current?

 

[steeplejack]

Women weren't really welcomed there until the mid-late 90s. Let's just say the beery late middle aged freemasons who inhabit the place and I don't really get on.

Fair enough. I popped in early doors on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet.

There's a pub in Penzance that's admittedly great but I won't set foot in it because the landlord is an arsehole. Sometimes it's best not to know.

Got it in one. Strangely we forgot to bring the sun cream on our visit to Scotland in September. Could have done with it this afternoon
