🏴 + 🇵🇱 history goes way back.
Alexander Chalmers arrived in Warsaw from Scotland in 1676. He served as a judge in the city and was four times mayor in 1691, 1694, 1696 and 1702. There is a commemorative plaque on his former house at the corner of Wąski and Szeroki Dunaj. twitter.com/YourWullie/sta… pic.twitter.com/dvhzfR7aVT

Great thread. Strong links between Scotland and Poland and a long history of migration from Scotland to Poland. Bonnie Prince Charlie’s mother was Maria Klementyna Sobieska, the granddaughter of Polish King Jan III Sobieski.

“I shall die, but I shall leave my map as a gift to the Scottish people to thank them for the hospitality they showed the Poles in their time of need” - Jan Tomasik.
Jan sadly passed away in 1991, and what an extraordinary gift it was he left our nation.
Thank you, Jan

Jan met and fell in love with Catherine Kimlin of Edinburgh. They married in in September 1942.
Note the ‘Poland’ patch and ‘Winged Hussar’ insignia of the 1st Armoured Division on the shoulder of Jan’s tunic. The three stripes on his epaulette show he is a lance-sergeant. pic.twitter.com/gbUTWsNQEz

Jan Tomasik (left) was born on the outskirts of Kraków, and became a bricklayer to trade. He achieved the professional title of a master builder, but also had become a company co-owner.
When World War II broke out, Jan set off to fight the Germans. pic.twitter.com/MVrseADOz3

The Polish Map of Scotland is a concrete scale model of Scotland.
The brainchild of Polish war veteran Jan Tomasik, it was built between 1974-79 and is claimed to be the world’s largest terrain relief model. pic.twitter.com/22xPeiF0bA

Lovely to be with friends and family again in Kraków but absolutely mortified that this note was the main topic of conversation. They all had an impression that this is happening all over England and they are no longer welcome there. twitter.com/davidschneider…

If you are living in terrible housing conditions in Manchester and would like your story told and your voice amplified, are willing to be photographed at home as part of a national project on homelessness and substandard accommodation get in touch via DM and be part of Outsiders. twitter.com/sheltermanc/st…

“Among those who refused the briefing and walked out included the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, ITV’s Robert Peston and political journalists from the Daily Mail, Telegraph, the Sun, Financial Times, and Guardian.”
Well done and about time before you create a mirror image of Trumpland twitter.com/guardianheathe…

The @RAMMuseum could simply transfer the objects to the Royal BC Museum which has accreditation and they could then arrange the repatriation in line with Canadian standards. It really is as simple as that.

these refusals are doing long term damage to reconciliation in the communities in question in British Columbia.

This simply reflects the ongoing refusal of museums in the U.K. to properly engage with this and flies in the face of the approach agreed in British Columbia in consultation with 350 representatives of Indigenous communities there. The MA needs to take a proper lead on this as

The use of accreditation standards to refuse repatriation is a red herring. This repatriation could easily be done via the Royal BC Museum repatriation programme. It is what was agreed to be the right approach at the Indigenous Perspectives on Repatriation symposium in 2017. twitter.com/benquinn75/sta…
