Hello!
I feel I should take the time to introduce myself to this exciting platform and collective of thinkers, hmmmm!! First thing is that I am pretty much delighted that Steemit exists and to take part. I feel that it is a beautiful idea with much promise. I'm a Scottish girl living in Glasgow, Scotland. For now I imagine that I will use the site to follow my favourite journalists and thinkers and possibly to share some of my own thoughts and experiences
My posts will share my views and information on Scottish Independence as we have a major problem in Scotland - propaganda. There is a complete media blackout on the truth about an Independent Scotland in the Main Stream Media, i.e. what an independent Scotland would look like and what it could offer the world.
The truth about the reality for an independent Scotland is being kept from the Scottish people. England relies on Scotland not vice versa. Our country is being forced to host a despicable, violent nuclear arsenal in a very populated area of our country and we watch our young men, women and resources being used to terrorise other innocent people in illegal wars - all against our will. Meanwhile a large percentage of Scottish people in poverty and hopelessness and wish for peace. Our pensioners have been lied to contemptuously by the Mainstream Media, terrified into voting against their own interests by powerful liars. The situation looks set to worsen as Westminster attempts to grab further powers over Scotland, those which until recently lay with the EU and I fully support another Scottish independence referendum very soon.
Any posts will include my own frustrated but hopeful views on the subject and my own photography of Scotland to hopefully calm things down a little again! :)

First Welcome to Steemit! I found your blog from @psionic-tremors's #payitforward post that you were featured in this week! Congrats on being featured!
I am very interested in your talks about Scotland and just the propaganda surrounding it. It's hard to find the truth where ever you live. Platforms like Steemit is definitely a great place to be to share truth! The more we open the world up to ALL the propaganda problems the better we all can be! You've got a new follower!
Welcome to Steemit! I really love that moody picture at the top... I haven't been to Scotland for many years now (over 20) - but it is an awesome place (I visited Dundee, Edinburgh then took the train to Fort William to climb Ben Nevis... then sprained my ankle near the top as I started my way down again.)
Anyway, welcome again - I hope you enjoy your time here. I plan to repost my "Steemit for Newbs" series next week (which you might find useful) and am currently serializing some fiction I have written. I also often post some of my photos, many of which were taken during my time in England and Wales.
Got my attentions, Now we all want to see a picture of an "orangeries". Is it just a two story greenhouse for growing orange trees?
Wow. This was a top notch introduction post. I really loved your images!
Welcome to this lovely community. I was led here by the #Payitforward Curation contest. You should definitely look it Up.
