How did #UnivofStAndrews benefit from, participate in, or support, British colonialism? Our report 'The University of St Andrews and the legacies of empire, 1700-1900' is now available legacies-of-empire.wp.st-andre

The detail of our findings may be of most interest to those closely associated with #standrews #Fife and #Tayside, or #Scotland; but I hope that our approach will be of interest to a wider audience. #history #histodons

Important new report published today from the University of St Andrews: "The University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900" - looks like a really thorough and well researched piece of vital work.

ZenodoThe University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900This report is the result of a research project commissioned by the Principal of the University of St Andrews. We aimed to investigate the legacies that colonialism, empire, trade and slavery have left to the University of St Andrews, both as institution and as a community of students and staff. As well as monies received, we investigated the personal or family connections of members of the University community. We sought to explore how members of our (historical) community had contributed to debates about enslavement and race, or about colonialism and empire; and to discover how British colonialism shaped the culture and community of our University. We focused on the period 1700 to 1900. Contents: Introduction The university, the town and the local economy Where did the university's money come from?

I hope you like history!

Welcome to the historical town of St Andrews. Featuring the world's 3rd oldest English-speaking university, the ruins of St Andrews clifftop castle, and an otherworldly rock formation east of the town.

There's PLENTY more photos from this day too! Isn't that nice? Just go here -> iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/1 👍

The ruins of St Andrews Castle, showcasing a weathered stone structure with remnants of walls and openings. The castle's stones are unevenly placed, with moss and lichen visible on some surfaces, hinting at its age. In the background, a blue sky with wispy clouds adds a serene atmosphere. A winding path made of wooden slats leads through the grassy area in front of the castle, guiding the viewer's eye towards the entrance of the structure, which features an arched doorway.
St Salvator's Quadrangle at the University of St Andrews, featuring a picturesque scene with historic stone buildings and a tall clock tower. The quadrangle is filled with lush green grass, where a group of people are seated, enjoying the outdoors. The buildings display intricate architectural details, including large windows and decorative elements, with some areas adorned with pink banners. In the foreground, a neatly paved path leads through the well-maintained gardens, lined with flower beds. Above, the sky is bright with scattered clouds, enhancing the inviting atmosphere of the university setting.
Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, featuring impressive rock formations with intricate textures and colours. The towering red and orange hues of the stone contrast against a clear blue sky. A prominent archway is visible, formed by two large, weathered rock pillars that rise dramatically from the grassy ground. The surrounding area is dotted with tufts of grass, enhancing the natural setting, while the distant coastline can be glimpsed beyond the rock formations, adding to the scene's rugged beauty.
Another view of Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, highlighting the unique geological formations of the area. The towering rock structure showcases an array of colours, including deep blacks, earthy reds, and soft greens, with intricate textures that suggest years of erosion. The sunlight casts gentle shadows, accentuating the contours of the rock. In the background, the coastline is visible, meeting the calm sea under a clear blue sky. The surrounding grass adds a natural element, contributing to the wild and rugged beauty of the landscape.

Shout out to Toppings Bookshop in St Andrews.
After all together too much bus nonsense this afternoon, I popped in to get The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer in an attempt to redeem the afternoon.
The lovely staff found me the book and gave me a cup of tea for a much needed warm up and restoration of my faith in humans.
Felt very Serviceberry - economy of gifts and abundance appropriate.

Whalesong patterns follow a universal law of human language, new research finds

All known human languages display a surprising pattern: the most frequent word in a language is twice as frequent as the second most frequent, three times as frequent as the third, and so on. This is known as #ZipfsLaw.
In a new research published in Science, a team of experts in whale song, #linguistics and developmental #psychology analyzed eight years' of song recordings from #HumpbackWhales in #NewCaledonia. Led by Inbal Arnon from the Hebrew University, Ellen Garland from the University of #StAndrews, and Simon Kirby from the University of #Edinburgh, they used techniques inspired by the way human infants learn #language to analyze humpback #whale song.
They discovered that the same #ZipfianPattern universally found across #human languages also occurs in #WhaleSong. This complex signaling system, like human language, is culturally learned by each individual from others.
