How to Dad 101: Comforting your daughter after a devastating break-up with her boyfriend.

BROKE:

Show up with pizza and wine she didn't ask for.

Eat most of the the pizza, leave her the wine.

Make fun of the boyfriend's name.

WOKE:

Offer to make her some food.

Agree and sympathize with her that someone you love leaving you is just like a death.

Quote Yeats to her.

Sandy, you’ve got some leave due. I want you to stay with your dad. Cos he needs you. I want to help. Well, you can. Get him to check that nothing was taken from the croft, cos we need to be sure. I’m capable of more than that if you’ll give me a chance. I know you are, but it’s difficult. You can’t investigate your own family.

What will the neighbours say? Two male visitors in one night! Practically a knocking shop.

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your evening.

Oh, no, no, no. Duncan just dropped by to see how I was getting on. Thank you.

Hi.

So, do you two know each other, then?

Well, um… my ex and jimmy were together for a long time before she passed on. The result of which is that we now share our very lovely and very strong-willed daughter. I’m her father, Jimmy’s her dad.

Yeah. I should be getting back to her. Good night.

Here. Could you just hold that? I just want to have a word. Jimmy.

What are you doing?

What?

Have you told her you’re married.

Come on. It’s just a glass of wine.

Cos Cassie’s just getting over the last time.

Jimmy.

- I’m not gonna lie to you, Duncan. Watching you live your life is like watching Scotland try to qualify for the world cup. It’s frustrating…embarrassing…at times excruciating… but ultimately I live in hope that you’ll get there in the end.

Don’t go.

St Ninian’s Isle, Shetland

This island can be reached via a ‘tombolo’, which forms this interesting X-shape. (A ‘tombolo’ is a strip of land, often created through deposited material over time, which attaches an island to the mainland, creating a ‘tied island’.) There you find the remains of a 12th Century chapel, dedicated to St Ninian. On the 4th of July 1958 a local schoolboy by the name of Douglas Coutts discovered treasure under a slab marked with a cross on the chapel site. It turned out to be 28 pieces of Pictish silver artefacts, many of them jewellery, and the jawbone of a porpoise. This treasure was likely hidden during a Viking raid around 800 AD. The original items can be seen in the National Museum of Scotland.
