My parents died when I was a child, I was placed in orphanage in #Fife , #Scotland , and never head from my brother or sister from that day. Do not know what happened to them. On leaving the orphanage I was homeless for years. Without kindness of others I would not be here tonight

For three years, after orphanage, during my younger life I was homeless and living on the streets in #Scotland . There were no easy times, not much food, no warm bed. No kindness of strangers. That is why I try to be as kind to others as I can possibly be. I hope you will be also

I do not wish to divulge the reason for the operation, surgeons said that it an extreme case and they were amazed how she had been functioning prior to surgery. Both surgeons said that she did very well during surgery and expect a better than 100% recovery. My daughter is strong

I am used to Social Isolation myself, being profoundly deaf, and working from home, but I am fortunate to always be busy, I enjoy @Twitter though as I " hear " your words on this medium. On this medium we are equal. And, aye, and this #Scotsman may be deaf but he is not daft

I am profoundly deaf, but I often look through my camera lens and can't see properly either. because of the tears in my eyes from the sheer beauty of #Scotland The country I love today, and forever, I hope you will visit one day in the future

I am always happy to help people who wish to travel to #Scotland or live here. I do not ever try to sell my tours to folks, just happy to help with any visit. I don't tweet for money, reward, or praise, and I have nothing to sell, showing you #Scotland is honour enough for me

Just thought I would mention my medical situation now, as my operation may become an emergency, and if I disappear from @Twitter for a wee while, you will know that I am simply indisposed

I wonder if my friends here on @Twitter can understand this ? If I close my eyes, in peace and quiet, I can imagine myself beside her in that hospital in #Oregon , #USA . I can then see myself there holding her hand, passing on love and strength.

There is no such thing as the " White Race " in the way in which racists use those words. Prior to the modern age, no European peoples regarded themselves as " white ", but rather defined their race, ancestry, or ethnicity in terms of their nationality. I am Scottish what are you

I am always saddened that most businesses, including travel, tourism and visitor businesses in #Scotland won't tweet their beliefs as I do, aye, they are afraid of losing customers, I am not afraid to believe in, and support #Independence for #Scotland
