Indeed, the National Register of Tartans was established by an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 2008, and is administered by Scottish National Records. anyone, from anywhere in the world, can register a new tartan (individuals, schools and corporate groups as well as professional designers and weavers) providing that it meets the criteria for registration.

The Dalai Lama hasn't registered one (yet), though he has visited Scotland, in particular the great Tibetan Buddhist temple and monastery, Samye Ling, at Eskdalemuir north of Lockerbie.
Lockerbie - 4,728 miles west-northwest of Lhasa. This clearly demonstrates that Scotland is much larger than we thought. :D

This has prompted me to offer a feminist, cruxworthy alternative to J Milton Hayes's (in?)famous poem:

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Eskdalemuir,
There's a little wooden cross below the town;
Where's an out of tune bagpiper plays laments for Madcap Muir ,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

She was known as "Madcap Muir" by the troops at Eskdalemuir,
She was hotter than a vindaloo on toast,
And with all her sexy pranks, she was worshipped in the ranks –
But Pipe-Major with his baton pleased her most.

He had lusted all along, with a passion of the strong,
The fact she fancied him was plain to all.
The band he led had won, and arrangements had begun
To celebrate their victory with a ball.

She wrote to ask what present he would like from Madcap Muir;
They met next day as he dismissed the squad;
And jestingly he told her then that nothing else would do
But the green eye of the little Yellow God.

On the night before the dance, Madcap Muir seemed in a trance,
And they chaffed her as they puffed at their cigars:
But for once she failed to smile, and she sat alone awhile,
Then went out into the night beneath the stars.

She returned before the dawn, with her skirt and undies torn,
And a gash across her bosom dripping red;
She was patched up right away, and she slept through all the day,
And the grim Pipe-Major watched beside her bed.

She woke at last and asked him to roll her over fast,
The Pipe-Major thought she wanted him to sod -
“Feel inside my aperture, there’s your gift from Madcap Muir,"
And he found the little green eye of the god.

He upbraided Madcap Muir in the way Pipe-Majors do,
Though her girly-parts were strangely hot and wet;
But he wouldn't take the stone, Madcap Muir was left alone
With the jewel that she had risked her life to get.

When the ball was at its height, on that still and tropic night,
He thought of her and hurried to her room;
As he crossed the barrack square he could hear the dreary air
Of some bagpipes' eerie skirling thro' the gloom.

Her door was open wide, silver moonlight shining through;
The place was wet and slipp'ry where he trod;
An ugly spike lay buried in the slit of Madcap Muir,
'Twas the vengeance of the Little Yellow God!

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Eskdalemuir,
There's a little wooden cross below the town;
Where an out of tune bagpiper plays laments for Madcap Muir ,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

Something to think about, Gentlemen....

WANNA DELAY AGING? GET CASTRATED, SCIENTISTS SAY​

According to new research, there may be a surprisingly effective way for men to increase their lifespans — but it requires a pretty severe alteration to the physical body that may not appeal to everybody.

An international team led by researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand were able to show that castration of male sheep delays the aging of DNA, and the same principles could apply to humans as well.

“Both farmers and scientists have known for some time that castrated male sheep live on average much longer than their intact counterparts; however, this is the first time anyone has looked at DNA to see if it also ages slower,” said Victoria Sugrue, a researcher at the University of Otago and lead author of a paper about the research published in the journal eLife, in a statement.


 
hmm the reality
View attachment 1038512
doesn't seem quite as impressive as the architects' 3D rendering ...

I guess it's mostly scaffolding with astroturf on it ... actually it looks a bit like a low polygon 3D model...
and it seems you need to pay to go up?... carrying cross or not ;)
And in these dumpsters are the remains of the crucifixions disposed of? Of course not the crosses themselves, because with today's timber prices no economically working city can afford that.
 
I’m just going to leave this article on the coffee table in case anyone wants to read it; I found it interesting
I mean.. First of all, I didn’t know “Cruxnow.com” was a thing. Secondly, all this talk of the martyrdom and imprisonment of a young woman.. well, that’s got my attention.

Perhaps there will be a crucifixion in Saint Peter’s Square after all.. (though @Barbaria1 will probably get there first).., :p :eek:;):enamorado:
That’s old news from 2016 of course; Francesca Immacolata Chaouqui received a ten-month suspended sentence and lost her job…. But in a strange twist she has continued to comment on Vatican corruption, an activity which has earned her the nickname “la papezza”, the female pope :eek:
