“William going to Tillydrone and only getting a crowd of three people who didn’t even notice him is peak Scottish energy 👍🏾. I think Royal visits to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are going to become more sparse as time goes on.” - Submitted by Anonymous

On 22nd May, 1968 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland voted in favour of women ministers, decades before the Church of England.

Six women Margaret Forrester Claude Barbour, Elizabeth Hewat, Mary Levison , Mary Weir and Sheila White wrote an open letter campaigning for a change to the Kirk’s rules on women ministers.

Their campaign met fierce resistance and anger but on 22 May 1968, the Kirk’s General Assembly finally voted to allow women to be ordained.

By the following year, the Reverend Catherine McConnachie was ordained and served as assistant minister at St George’s Tillydrone, in Aberdeen.

The Reverend Effie Irvine, who died in February 2018, was the first to be ordained as a parish minister in 1971 at Milton of Campsie Parish Church. Nowadays around a third of The Church of Scotland Ministers are women. I read an article in 2018, the 50th anniversary of the landmark decision that, ‘Pockets of resistance’ against appointing women ministers and elders still exists in parts of Scotland and I imagine John Knox, hero of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland will still be turning in his grave, he wrote ‘The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women’ in 1588, attacking female monarchs, arguing rule by women was contrary to the bible.

The first female Moderator was appointed in 2004, there has now been 4 in total, it took a furth 36 years before the first, Alison Elliot in 2004, this year will see the fifth woman moderator when Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, as seen in the second pic, takes the position. Sally, who is head of a Christian charity which fights global poverty, said last week, she is "beyond humbled, inexpressibly honoured and more than a wee bit excited" to represent the Church in this role.

There are currently 218 serving female ministers, with 677 male ministers

Allie had never dreamt of skinning a cat before, nor had she attempted, but she had done enough things out of character so far today. Might as well add at least one more to that list.

"So, in other words, you have no useful advice beyond there lies a man-eating beast towards the north." Allie lets out a deep sigh, one that leaves her lungs burning for air. Although, she's quite certain this personal hell of tormented curiosities wouldn't allow her to stop breathing.

Her arms fold across her chest, "Yes, I fell through a rabbit hole. I originally came from a place called Tillydrone. Does that mean anything of importance to you?"

that's what they were looking for.

"the precipice between the tulgey woods and forest of wabe. would recommend not heading.. that way." the cat stands upon hind legs and leans against the tree as it points north. "unless you'd like to become the beast's next snack-- home? that could be anywhere. i assume you mean your feeble lands, of which; i suppose that's up to you. i'm guessing you're of the rabbit hole variety-- not too many looking glasses have slipped back into these lands from their ruins."

Also now I’m just thinking about the fact that Normal (non Corona) Alice’s title is:

The Duchess Allison Matilda Kingsleigh-Jones of The Yorkshire Marches, and the Baroness of TillyDrone.

Like that’s so fucking pretentious and she didn’t ASK for any of it. That said, she also has a title that carries into any verse

Dame Allison Matilda Kingsleigh-Jones, the Savior of Wonderland.

I'm looking forward to sharing the stage with the wonderful Jackie Ross on Tuesday afternoon - we're going to be telling stories to raise awareness and funds for the Tillydrone Community Development Trust who plan to transform the Wallace Tower (also known as Benholm's Lodging's) into a community space with sensory garden.

It's such a historic building which was saved (moved brick by brick!) when they put up the M&S building on St Nicholas Street in the 1960s. It has sat empty for a few years now and would make an amazing community space - cafe, performance venue, community meeting place, sensory garden and so on.

Tickets start at just £1 - so come along to Dunbar Street Hall, Tuesday at 2pm :D
