We were proud to represent Article 12 in Scotland at the Irish Consulate’s St Patrick’s Day celebration ☘️
An inspiring evening bringing people together. Thank you to the Irish Consulate for the warm welcome!

4: The article above proves it unfortunately and Travellers who are involved in activism need to stop cooperating with MSP's, Councillors and other folk who do not give a shit about us. #Indigenous #Indigenouspeoples #indigenousrights #gypsytraveller #romany #irishtravellers #scottishtravellers

Mr Williamson again, singing a traditional Traveller song in Cant (our native language). It's amazing to see this 😍

The late great Duncan Williamson (Scottish Traveller storyteller) playing the Jaw Harp (traditional instrument of our people) and diddling (traditional type of singing style we did/still do).

Shan deekin flattie hantle mangin jeer about how we're not a real ethnicity, that we're like the flatties, and how this moich gadgie is quoting an outdated antiquarian source. Typical scaldies always dictating our identity 🙄

NOT AN ETHNICITY
NOT GENUINE ROMANY OR TRAVELLING PEOPLE
Just white British folk playing "Gypsy" and exploiting our WAY OF LIFE (Hint: NOT a lifestyle). You don't get to decide one day to become a Gypsy or a Traveller. YOU ARE BORN ONE, END OF STORY.

More examples of Nacken Chaetrie that has unfortunately been sold to private collectors. Sad to see our history going down the drain at the expense of money.

For Gypsy Romany Traveller History Month, here's a scene from Salvage where my protagonist Emma discovers a long forgotten book that uncovers her Traveller roots. More instalments coming soon. #GRTHM25 #grthistorymonth #romanytraveller #gypsytraveller #mysterynovel
If you’re a reader who likes under-explored histories, check out my novel Salvage which delves into the scandal of forced removals of Traveller kids #GRTHM25 #grthistorymonth #romanytraveller #gypsytraveller #mysterynovel #scotsnoir #scotshistory
