You are right that they are long overdue the prominence they deserve....as does our Scottish history generally. I'm glad to report that the BBC have made a series called Great British Stories (which features Govan) that will be begin transmission in June...a response to the undeniable momentum for reclaiming our history - maybe?<br />Thanks for your comments about the timeline...did you see the post about the recent Govan 'parliament' when the timeline on this blog was spoken aloud as part of a celebration of the people's story in this place over the last 2000 years - http://www.aboutuswithoutus.com/2012/04/reconvening-govan-parliament.html_mattbakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936194290084196193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545769493302325482.post-40834738374404478932012-04-12T01:17:46.085+01:002012-04-12T01:17:46.085+01:00Reading this from Brisbane Australia.
