Tim's Tales - Beware the Bramble Bogle's Revenge! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FOR our family, one of the joys of late summer has always been brambling. Just last weekend, we found some very tasty brambles, with an exceptionally large king berry that almost caused a bramble war between siblings. Thankfully, the discovery of another equally majestic king berry on another bush averted the conflict. However, time for brambling is fast running out, as tradition tells us we must not pick brambles after September 29. That day is Michaelmas, a traditional Christian feast day to c

NEXT month, my wife and I are going to a night club to dance for up to six hours to '90s trance tunes. For me, it’s going to be a dance down memory lane. If you don’t know what trance is, it’s electronic dance music which immerses the senses. Typically, it has regular beats which make it easy to dance to, but the tunes tend to build up to a powerful crescendo, then the process is repeated. It’s not techno, but is influenced by it. This style of music evolved in the late 1980s and early 1990s. On
Tim's Tales - When people were hanged simply for being gypsies (opens the original)

AGNES McDonald went to the scaffold in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket in 1714. It was a cold November morning and a crowd had assembled. She was a poor young woman and there is no eyewitness account of her last moments. I can conjecture that some spectators stood in silence, while some will have jeered and celebrated that the laws of the land were being enforced. She was not alone: her friend Jean Baillie was also condemned to die by her side - two young women whose short lives were brutally ended. The

MY NEARLY 13-year-old daughter stood on a tiny beach she had once discovered and named after our family. She was watching the sun begin to set, not just on the day, but on the summer. We both stood in silence and I asked if I could take her photo. She agreed, although her photos of the sunset were much better than mine. Tim's daughter admiring the sunset (Image: Tim Porteus) It was just me and her on this evening walk, and our family dog Ceilidh. The rest of the family were at home. I’d wanted t
Tim's Tales - Don't anger the Elder Mother or you'll be cursed! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ELDER trees at this time of year are laden with berries. It’s a beautiful sight and a sign that autumn is approaching. In spring, the elder is resplendent with a stunning display of creamy white blossom. In August, it gifts us its eye-catching purple fruit. But beware, the berries look juicy and tempting, but elderberries eaten raw are toxic and will make you ill. However, if you boil them, then simmer for 10 or 20 minutes, the toxins are removed and the cooked berries are a delicious base for m
