As a generally pragmatic and mostly rational Scot this story does wound me, so long ago but it's heritage being destroyed. "Rosary beads carried by Mary Queen of Scots to her execution stolen from Arundel Castle" Probably melted down for scrap by scumbag petty thieves, so sad. I can imagine how tightly she would have held on to those beads at the end. Rosary beads carried by Mary Queen of Scots to her execution stolen from Arundel CastleI hate it when any artwork or artifact is stolen anywhere in the world, governments should take this far more seriously, I don't think theft charges and sentences are good or tough enough I do believe draconian sentences are justified under a special charge as a deterrent IDK maybe "crimes against culture" or "cultural vandalism", theft charges don't really cut it anymore. I love Helen Mirren's line in RED 2.... "It's that Bitch, Mary Queen of Scots! She's after my head!" Never ceases to make me break out laughing.

Meanwhile in Scotland....Scots cop called officers for help after being pursued by drone but dot in sky was actually Jupiter
It was only after a drawn-out “pursuit” that she sought help from senior officers, who told her it was Jupiter – some 365 million miles away.
"A rookie Scots police officer feared she was being pursued for miles by a drone – but the bright light in the sky was actually a planet. The dozy PC had left a Glasgow police station at about midnight on Tuesday and noticed the object in the sky “following her.” She tried to lose the “drone” as she drove towards the shopping complex at the Fort, just off the M8. She called the general Police Scotland complaints number on 101 and told the call handler she was being followed by a drone along the M8 and “couldn’t lose it”. The officer, who is in her first two years of service, was told to return to her station where she would be met by a senior officer. She was found standing in the police yard with her hood up trying to hide from the “drone” and pointed out the bright white dot in the sky. They told her it was Jupiter, which is often visible on a clear night. “Everyone was quite concerned so you can imagine the red face and embarrassment felt when it was pointed out that the bright light following her was a planet millions of miles away. A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Officers quickly established there was no criminality and were able to reassure the woman involved.” (Daily Record article) link
