It came from Richard Strachan

It came from Richard Strachan, @RWStrachan1977

Richard Strachan’s story “Tashala’s Hair” was published in Metaphorosis on Friday, 24 June 2022. The genesis of this story was something I read in Vishvapani Blomfield’s biography of Gautama Buddha, about an imprisoned king who survived by licking the oils off his wife’s body when she smuggled herself into his prison. The power of that story made me think about the way it might have been used, as…

Strachan's Action by Terence Lee (1944-)

The Battle of Cape Ortegal was the final action of the Trafalgar campaign, and was fought between a squadron of the Royal Navy and a remnant of the fleet that had been defeated earlier at the Battle of Trafalgar. It took place on 4 November 1805 off Cape Ortegal, in north-west Spain and saw Captain Sir Richard Strachan defeat and capture a French squadron under Rear-Admiral Pierre Dumanoir le Pelley.

On May 11th 1685 Margaret Lachlane, or McLachlan, and Margaret Wilson were put to death.

The sins of our past are sair tae bare at times and this is certainly one that qualifies as such, what makes it all the more sad is that they had been reprieved, but the distance from Edinburgh to Wigtown but for reasons unknown it never made it to save the women.

Here’s the background, some of you might know but not all, back in 17th century religion was very important to most people in Scotland, indeed the worldover. The reformation waa over and Protestants were in the vast majority, especially in the more populace lowlands. By now The Stuart Monarchy ruled both Scotland and England, having survived a civil war in which Charles I lost his head, eventually his son, Charle II was invited back to take the throne. You would have thought that Charles II had learned his lesson, his old boy had tried to enforce the English form of the Protestant religion in Scotland but failed, young Charles tried again but the Scots were not having it, many Scots signed what is known as The National Covenant that pledged to defend “their” true religion against innovations like those down south. Many were put to death for refusing to swear allegiance to the King and “his” prayer book. Over the years there were many battles and lives lost, it is now known in Scotland as “The Killing Time"

ny way the people thought it might come to an end in February 1658 when Charles II died, those who had been hiding from persecution started returning to their homes, including the young Wilson girls who were sheltered at the home of Margaret McLachlan, a 63 year old widow who lived at Drumjargan in Kirkinner Parish. A local man betrayed them when they came into Wigtown, and the two girls were taken prisoner. At the same time, Margaret McLachlan was seized while at prayer in her own home, and held in custody with them. The women were required to take the Oath of Abjuration which had earlier been administered to everyone in the County over the age of 13 years. This had been introduced on 25 November 1684 by the Privy Council, in order to catch sympathisers of Richard Cameron. In a public declaration at Sanquhar Cross, Cameron had denounced the King as a tyrant and declared war on him.

Refusal to swear the Oath allowed execution without trial; men could be hanged or shot; a new sentence had been introduced for women: death by drowning. The women refused the Oath and were brought before the Commission. The Commissioners, Grierson of Lagg, Sheriff David Graham (Claverhouse’s brother), Major Windram, Captain Strachan and Provost Coltrane of Wigtown, have been described as “five of the most vicious scoundrels in Scotland”.

Margaret McLachlan with Margaret and Agnes Wilson were found guilty on all charges and they were sentenced “to be tyed to palisadoes and fixed in the sand, within the flood mark, at the mouth of the Blednoch stream, and there to stand till the flood over flowed them, and [they] drowned”. Agnes Wilson (aged only thirteen at the time) was reprieved, when her father promised to pay a bond of £100, a fortune in that day.

A pardon was issued in Edinburgh, dated 30 April 1685, for both women

It remains a mystery what happened to it, since no record of it remains beyond the Council Chamber. They were taken out and tied to stakes in the waters of the Bladnoch on 11 May 1685. The older woman was tied deeper in the river channel forcing young Margaret to witness her death, in the hope that she would relent. Instead, she seemed to take strength from the older woman’s fate, singing a psalm, and quoting scripture.

The events are recorded in the Kirk Session records of both Penninghame and Kirkinner parishes, vouched for by elders and ministers who were present on the day, and the records confirmed by the Presbytery of Wigtown. The Penninghame records say that Margaret Wilson’s head was held up from the water, in order to ask her if she would pray for the King. She answered that she wished the salvation of all men, but the damnation of none. When her watching relatives cried out that this proved she was willing to conform, Major Windram offered her the Oath of Abjuration again, but she refused, saying “I am one of Christ’s children; let me go”.

The Kirkinner records state that Margaret McLachan’s head had been “held down within the water by one of the town officers by his halberd at her throat, til she died”. A popular account adds that the officer said “then tak’ another drink o’t my hearty”. Legend has it that for the rest of his life the man had an unquenchable thirst, and had to stop and drink from every ditch, stream, or tap he passed, and he was deserted by his friends.

Likewise the constable named Bell, who had carried out his duties with a notable lack of feeling, allegedly said, when asked how the women had behaved, “O, they just clepped roun the stobs, like partans and prayed”. Clepped means web-footed, partans are crabs. Bell’s wife bore three children all with “clepped” fingers, and the family was referred to as “the Cleppie Bells” which was believed to be the sins of the father being visited on the children.

It was not only women who died, William Johnstone, John Milroy and George Walker were hanged in Wigtown the same year, for refusal to take the oath, but Margaret Wilson, due to her young age has become the most famous of the martyrs and is the subject of a famous painting by the English artist John Everett Millais called The Martyr of Solway.

Art conservators have x-rayed the painting and found out that Millais had originally painted the upper torso of the young woman naked. However when the painting was exhibited in 1871 there were strong puritanical views on nudity in paintings and Millais’ work offended Victorian sensibilities. It was badly received and was the butt of many negatively critical reviews. Hence it was painted over to save the Victorian eyes of such a sight!

The photo is from Stirling Old Town Cemetery a monument to the Wigtown Martyrs, further afield a Victorian statue of Margaret Wilson’s martyrdom is on display at Knox College, University of Toronto, Canada, as seen in the second pic, the third pic is the Martyrs' Grave, Wigtown parish church, Dumfries and Galloway.

Woops read a few more Warhammer books and want to talk about them

I’ve gone through a few now but the one I really, really want to talk about is Hammers of Sigmar: First Forged by Richard Strachan.

The book follows the titular Hammers of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals (the posterchildren of the armor wearing Einhenjar paladins of the setting) who are struggling with quite a few things:

They’ve got a huge war going on across all the Mortal Realms stretching themselves thin

The stormhost has been suffering under the effects of their constant reforging

A funny demon man unleashed a cloud up in the air that has the hilarious effect of grabbing their souls up when they usually get grabbed by lightning to be reforged after death

They’ve made armor to deal with that but there’s not enough of it to go around

Oh and the Khorne worshipping warlord who was the first boss they beat when they teleported back into the Mortal Realms to free the realm of fire might be coming back. He’s been on the moon, allegedly. Look all the moons are haunted in this setting.

And to top it all off, the mercenary guild that they’re working with to try and deal with that threat is horribly corrupt

The book centers mostly around the interaction with the last two points, though the threat of the Cursed Skies has certainly changed how the previously immortal-but-at-a-price legion looks at the world. Each of the main characters of the book come from a different chamber of the stormhost, each feeling different strains and all of them clearly coming with their own baggage.

From a new recruit who is surrounded by legends who are at their lowest, clad in the older armor, to the scout who wishes to be a legend, to the warrior priest in the tattered remains of his chamber, looking after the relics of all his fallen brothers and sisters, knowing that soon his chamber is about to be retired, all the characters stand out from each other and feel distinct.

But the reason I want to talk about this story is because it’s exactly the book I thought Space Marine books would read like before I learned anything about Warhammer in general.

It’s an action adventure romp full of blood and action (and a lot of gore, I’ll come back to that in a second), with set of good guys going into a big battle against the spikey bad guys and being very tired when they’re not shouting to each other about comradery.

It’s a safe book in that regard. It has just enough stakes and believable danger for the characters in it that it stays interesting but never something that fully sticks in your mind. It’s fantastic if you’re craving Stormcast Eternals content, especially one to showcase just how recent developments in the setting have humbled but not broken them.

I can’t even fully call it a middle of the road book. The characterization is good and it handles multiple viewpoints fantastically.

Sadly, I feel like it probably comes down to the villains of the book. Khorne as bloodthirsty cannibals with a grasp on battle tactics but no real motivations outside of killing and slaughtering and seeing their rulers put on thrones (not nearly as nice of ones as the one their god is one but still better than a chair) is one of those things that always kind of bores me about that particular aspect of chaos. Problem is that this book is clearly a love letter to the start of the whole setting and Khorne and his general Khorgos Khul as the threat to the legendary Vandus Hammerhand (which are the two generals that came in the first starter box) are kind of necessary to complete the circle they’re going for here.

Meanwhile the plotline regarding the freeguild captain whose corruption has caught up to her, as the guild lumbers along to try and get the one battle she needs in order to retire to a cushy life, is a far more interesting story which crosses paths with a witchunter and a suspicious sorcerer, but it doesn’t get enough of a payoff to really pull the book up another notch.

In the end, the most interesting detail ends up surrounding Actinus, the warpriest who refuses to give any personal details about himself to others. I feel like that’s the character I’m going to remember the most as you barely manage as the reader to pry any of his secrets loose and the few you get are actually memorable.

I said I’d talk about the gore and yeah I do feel like this is worth mentioning as well, as this book really does exemplify it. There’s a feeling like the level of detail is almost out of place, which makes it rather shocking at points. Yes this is a book with the minions of the Blood God taking center stage but it’s always funny to me that Black Library books tend to be devoid of any character cursing and any expression of romance more than a quick peck or a hug, but what feels like a lighter action adventure novel will gladly describe in great detail gorn.

Like I said, it’s what I expected Space Marine books to feel like, especially when I heard the phrase “bolter porn”

In the end, this book is something I’d only recommend to people already into the Age of Sigmar setting and I’d only recommend it after you’ve read a few of the other must-reads first, unless you’re really into Stormcasts or are just wanting an easy good vs evil romp.

It’s nowhere near as disturbing as Gloomspite (which I need to talk about) but you probably want to go in with the content warning at least.

Anyways, I’ll be talking about a few more soon.

Unraveling the Watergate Seven: A Deep Dive into Political Infamy

The Watergate scandal, a seismic event in the annals of American political history, not only precipitated the downfall of President Richard Nixon but also introduced the world to the "Watergate Seven." This moniker refers to seven of Nixon's advisors and associates embroiled in the scandal following the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. Their actions, and the subsequent cover-up, would lead to a constitutional crisis, culminating in Nixon's resignation—the only time a U.S. president has resigned from office. The Core Seven The Watergate Seven comprised key figures within Nixon's administration and reelection campaign, each playing distinct roles in the scandal and its aftermath. Here's a closer look at these individuals: - H.R. Haldeman: Nixon's Chief of Staff, Haldeman was deeply involved in the cover-up efforts. His unwavering loyalty to Nixon ultimately contributed to his downfall. - John Ehrlichman: As Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs, Ehrlichman oversaw the "plumbers," a covert unit established to stop leaks of classified information, among other duties. - John N. Mitchell: The former Attorney General and later the head of Nixon's reelection campaign, Mitchell was implicated in both the planning and cover-up of the Watergate break-in. - Charles Colson: Special Counsel to the President, Colson was known for his role in orchestrating the break-in and other "dirty tricks" against political opponents. - Gordon C. Strachan: An aide to Haldeman, Strachan was involved in the transfer of information and funds to the Watergate burglars. - Robert Mardian: Serving as a political aide, Mardian played a part in the early stages of the cover-up before his case was severed during the trial due to insufficient evidence. - Kenneth Wells Parkinson: A lawyer for Nixon's reelection committee, Parkinson was involved in the legal aspects of the cover-up. He was ultimately acquitted, highlighting the complexities of proving guilt within the tangled web of the scandal. These individuals faced charges including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury, reflecting the lengths to which Nixon's administration went to hide its activities. The trials and convictions (except for Parkinson) of these figures underscored the gravity of the administration's actions and led to significant political and legal reforms in the United States. The Indictments and Aftermath In March 1974, these seven individuals were indicted by a grand jury for their roles in the Watergate cover-up. The charges ranged from conspiracy, obstruction of justice, to perjury, laying bare the extent of the administration's illegal activities. The trials that followed would captivate the nation, revealing a sordid tale of political espionage, sabotage, and ethical compromise at the highest levels of government. The convictions and subsequent incarcerations of several members of the Watergate Seven underscored the scandal's gravity. Moreover, their legal battles and Nixon's eventual pardon of some underscored the profound challenges to the legal and political systems of the United States. Legacy and Reform The Watergate scandal and the actions of the Watergate Seven (both groups) had profound and lasting effects on American politics and governance. It led to the resignation of President Nixon in August 1974, a moment unparalleled in U.S. history. In response to the scandal, Congress enacted a series of reforms aimed at improving transparency in government and reducing the influence of money in politics, including the Federal Election Campaign Act amendments and the creation of the Federal Election Commission. Furthermore, Watergate left a lasting legacy on American political culture, introducing a level of skepticism toward political leaders and institutions. It also led to a significant shift in journalistic practices, with investigative journalism gaining prominence and credibility for its role in uncovering the truth behind the scandal. The Watergate Seven, emblematic of a broader culture of secrecy and illegality within the Nixon administration, forever altered the American political landscape. The scandal led to sweeping reforms aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in government, including the passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act amendments and the creation of the Federal Election Commission. Moreover, Watergate instilled in the American public a deep-seated skepticism towards political leaders, a legacy that persists. It served as a stark reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of vigilance and integrity in public office. The Watergate Seven, symbolize a watershed moment in American political history. Their actions and the subsequent fallout highlighted the importance of accountability, transparency, and the rule of law in safeguarding democracy. The legacy of Watergate continues to influence political discourse, governance, and public trust in elected officials, serving as a powerful reminder of the consequences of political malfeasance.

Richard E. Grant in How to Get Ahead in Advertising (Bruce Robinson, 1989

Cast: Richard E. Grant, Rachel Ward, Richard Wilson, Jacqueline Tong, John Shrapnel, Susan Wooldridge. Screenplay: Bruce Robinson. Cinematography: Peter Hannan. Production design: Michael Pickwoad. Film editing: Alan Strachan. Music: David Dundas, Rick Wentworth. 

The satire in How to Get Ahead in Advertising is as obvious as the pun in its title. Denis Bagley (Richard E. Grant), a Type A advertising executive, has a breakdown under the stress of coming up with a campaign for an acne medicine. He suddenly realizes the venality of his profession: trying to sell things to people that they don't need and which probably don't work. He quits his job and in a fit of manic behavior almost destroys his house. What's more, he develops a boil on his neck, and in a few days the boil comes to a head -- quite literally -- and begins to talk to him, muttering the advertising slogans and clichés he is determined to put behind him. His distressed wife, Julia (Rachel Ward), tries to help him and sends him to a psychiatrist (John Shrapnel), but things only get worse when a medical accident turns the second head into the primary one. Borrowing from "body horror" movies, Bruce Robinson's screenplay sets up a promising situation, but doesn't have a way of resolving it successfully. Only Grant's terrifically frantic performance, as both Denis and his pustular alter ego, keeps the film going, but the hilarity feels a bit strained toward the end.

Tashala’s Hair - Richard Strachan

New story! Tashala’s Hair - Richard Strachan, @richstrach

June 2022 For the novices of Kilavastin, the monastery’s position high on the cold, north-facing flank of the mountain was enough to recommend it to even the most austere followers of the Path. The wind hared in over the plains from the ice fields in the distance, and most mornings would see the precincts dusted in a fine layering of silver frost. The chambers and cells and stone corridors were…

“Alleged Axe Wielder Ill on Don Jail Cot,” Toronto Star. October 21, 1932. Page 2. ---- Father of Five Remanded to Oct. 29 - Faces Attempted Murder Charge ---- Walter G. Morrison, charged with the attempted murder of Mrs. Dorothy Bradbury, was remanded in county police court to-day until Saturday, Oct. 29. Counsel Lou Raxien informed the crown that Morrison took ill following his apperance in court Wednesday and is confined to his cot in the Don Jail.

On his recovery he will be moved to the psychiatric hospital.

Anyone who drives a large sedan car when hunting should be able to pay a $10 fine. This was the opinion offered by an inspector of the game and fisheries department when Alfred Steele and Richard Carrie of Strachan Ave., who pleaded guilty to hunting without a gun license, claimed they couldn’t meet fines of $10 each.

The crown pointed out that many hunters were seeking food rather than sport and asked leniency.

‘They were driving a large sedan,’ testified the inspector. ‘It cost seven dollars,’ volunteered Steele. They were fined $5 each.

Happy Birthday Scottish actor Ron Donachie.

Born Ronald Eaglesham Porter in Dundee on April 26th 1956  Ron might not be a household name, but is a weel kent face on our screens during the last 40 years or so.

He was educated at Madras College, St. Andrews and Glasgow University, from where he graduated with an M.A (Hons.) in English Literature and Drama in 1979. After a year working as a navvy, he joined the 7.84 theatre company for the play One Big Blow, in which the cast mimicked a traditional, colliery band by singing in six part harmony. The success of the play led to the formation of the acapella band The Flying Pickets, who had a Christmas number one in 1983. Donachie’s decision not to stay with the band and thereby missing out on their success has been described by him as “one of my more brilliant career decisions.”

Throughout the 1980s, he was a prolific theatre performer all across the British Isles,  now largely vanished repertory system. This afforded him the opportunity to act in many classical plays which are now rarely performed due to budget constraints and closed theatres. During this period, he appeared in over twenty plays at the Glasgow Citizens’ Theatre. Like many performers with similar experience, he considers this the happiest, most fruitful and most influential phase of his career.

That’s not to say he wasn’t on TV in the 80’s, firstly I would like to say he probably appeared in more episodes of Taggart than any other person, except the regular cast, clocking up five appearances all as different characters between 1987 and 2006.

The first thing I remember Don in was the brilliant Tutti Fruiti, with Robbie Coltrane, Richard Wilson and Maurice Roëves, he was also in 15 episodes of the old Scottish soap, Take the High Road as Duncan Strachan.

The 90’s saw his TV career really take off, parts in Taking over the Asylum, The Governor, Cracker and Looking after JoJo, as well as playing the Master at Arms in the Oscar winning film Titanic.

Into the new century and I think some of us will recall Don, in what I think is his most well known role as DCI Andrew Ross in the long running cop soap The Bill. Then Silent Witness, The Auf Wiedersehen Pet, and Stone of Destiny to name but a few. Ron also appeared in four episodes of the Edinburgh police drama Rebus, he had previously played the title role in the BBC Radio 4 dramatizations of the Ian Rankin books.

In the past few years Game of Thrones fans will have known him as Rodrik Cassel, or if you like last weeks birthday boy James James McAvoy in Filth, Don played the part of Hector. He was in casualty for a number of episodes, The brilliant mini series The Loch, and Deadwater Fell with David Tennant. Don also appeared in the Bruce bio-film Outlaw King as Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow.

Ron was recently in the Aberdeen cop drama Granite Harbour and we will see him later this year in the gritty prison drama Screw, which was filmed in part in Glasgow.
