A couple of weeks ago we visited the little town of Dunkeld in Perthshire in Scotland - it's a lovely little place and also home to a fantastic bakery by a former Great British Bakeoff contestant! 😂 Dunkeld is probably most famous for it's beautiful nature walks though, in particular The Hermitage walk which takes in the very impressive Black Linn waterfall! 😍 We managed to catch the last of the autumnal beauty before this week's snow came! 😂 Hope you enjoy!

Macbeth: Death, Bane and Birnam takes place on Saturday 4 May from 14:00-16:00. Visitors will take part in an active theatre-based workshop to explore the connection to the tree in Shakespeare’s Scottish Play. The session will explore some of the choices Shakespeare makes in adapting his Macbeth from the historical accounts available to him, with particular reference to the role Birnam plays in his downfall.

On Sunday 5 May from 10:30-12:30 Fraud and Riot in Dunkeld will examine the political history of the oak and its connection to local legend Alexander “Dundonnachie” Robertson, who played an integral role in the 1868 Dunkeld Bridge Toll Riots. Participants will delve into the archives and explore the figure of Dundonnachie through a factual, local and dramatic lens.

Democracy isn’t about everyone voting the exact same way, it’s about whether you agree to go along with the outcome of the vote even if it turns out you’re in the minority. That’s consensus.

Wait, so that thing about citrus trees being willing to cross-pollinate with anything. 

Combined with part-dryad!Jaskier whose tree is a lemon tree. 

Combined with leshy!Eskel. 

When life gives you tree monsters, make lemonade.

Why am I unreasonably upset about the fact that I can't kill Macbeth? I mean, ✨gender affirmed✨ and all but it's kinda sad 🥺

((Keep your head up King your Birnam wood branch is falling <3))

An die Christian Friedel und Woods of Birnam-Fans hier auf Tumblr, hättet ihr theoretisch Interesse an einem Gruppenchat (auf Discord oder so)?

Hatte die Idee, weil wir ja eh schon teilweise in den Kommentaren mancher Posts halbe Gruppenchats haben😅😂

[She was] wondering, not for the first time, when exactly she had become so technologically dependent that her first instinct in every unpredicted circumstance was to outsource her imagination to her phone.

they’re huge fans of their first amendment and second amendment rights. which seems like a major red flag except they’re also big fans of the 14th amendment, and sometimes these combine such as the time there was a protest on the abortion clinic in birnam and the counterprotest consisted largely of dr winkler with a shotgun talking about her first amendment right to religiously fire shots at anyone who disturbs the observance of an abortion ritual (this did work btw, after she shot a hole straight through one of the “child murderers you’re going to HELL” signs

nurse walker is from the vague area of paradise tennessee, nurse wheeler is from not-even-god-knows-where kentucky, and nurse winkler is from a mid-20th century dilapidating gold mining town in texas where there’s a crazy amount of local legends and absolutely 0 paranormal creatures. all three women are definitely insane and offputting but not in the “leerily fickle southern belle hospitality” way it’s definitely more of the “I’m sure they would have been perfectly harmless abnormal people had they not learned way too young that bugs that shoot acid don’t get ate”
