The Lost Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie
This is a fantastic article about a lost portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie and a documentary about it that will air in Britain on the BBC this Saturday, February 22nd.
Apparently, it "was painted in Holyrood Palace in late October 1745." Can't you just see Jamie hanging around the palace, waiting for BPC and asking him, "Are ye almost finished, ya wee rascal? Claire will have my heid if I'm no home for supper, aye?"
*Note: This originally said "ya wee besom"...until Sue kindly pointed out that "besom" refers to a FEMALE. ROFLMAO. See comments for details.

Scotland is Her Name by Albannach
Scotland is Her Name by Albannach (Sung By Jacquie Holland)
You wrapped her up in iron chains
You thought you'd tied her up
You placed a ball around her feet
Thought you'd tame her like a pup
Your winter winds so dry, aye
You stripped her back so bare
And then u looked her in the eye
And said "it's only fair"
Now is it any wonder why
We treat you like we do
You strut about your mansions like
You didnae have a clue
But you know who your are, Aye
And you know what you've done
So don't act so innocent
When we rise and end your fun
What will you do when the drought comes forth
And you cannae bleed the north
What will you do when your lakes dry up
Will you turn and beg your pup
What will you do when your houses freeze
With nay oil in your seas
Aye will you turn in blind ignorance
And beg forgiveness please
So maybe now you realise
Just how you treated her
Cause now she's mighty and she's strong
It's too late to right your wrongs
But maybe in the future, Aye
She'll free you from your shame
And then you'll look in awe of her
Aye, Scotland is her name
Cause then you'll look in awe of her
Aye, Scotland is her name.

Tobias Menzies. Whoa.
Dear Tobias Menzies... I think I love you. Love, Carol
All y'all need to WATCH THIS. STAT. This is going to present quite a problem for me when Outlander rolls 'round come summer.
We all know Frank is not my favorite person on the planet. Yes...I did gain some respect for him after reading A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows
. I warmed to him considerably; 'tis true. But for the love of all that's holy...Tobias Menzies is ALSO playing Black Jack Randall. Um...hello?
HOW am I supposed to HATE this guy when I'm DROOLING over him??? He's...adorable!!
