Very exciting news that Old York Historical Society has been given the McIntire garrison by descendants of its builder. Likely the oldest house in Maine, it was built in 1713 by a son of one of the Scots prisoners of war shipped to Maine as forced indentured servants in 1650.

#ItalianScotsArchives - Hampden, November 1965. ⚽ Scotland's John Hughes beats Italian Giovanni Lodetti to the ball in this World Cup qualifier. A 1-0 home result kept dreams alive, until a 3-0 defeat in Naples the following month. 📷 The Scotsman ow.ly/EhU750SfBuZ
