**What's On Today**

Fuck all. Stay at home.

**Today in Scottish History**

On this day in 1728 Robert Adam, the Scottish architect, furniture and interior designer, was born.
Adam is regarded as a leading exponent of the neoclassical revival in the latter part of the 18th Century. As equally well-regarded for the interior designs of his buildings as the exteriors, the Old Quad of the University of Edinburgh is a good example of his work in Scotland.

On 3 July 2001 Billy Liddell, the Scottish international footballer, died.
During his career with Liverpool during the 1940-50s he scored 229 times in 537 games for the club. He also played for Scotland 28 times and was one of only two players who appeared in the Great Britain side that faced a team from the rest of Europe in both 1947 and 1955, the other being Stanley Matthews.

On 3 July 1883, the Clyde shipyards suffered their worst accident when the SS Daphne capsized at her launch.
The packet steamer had been built by the Linthouse yard of Alexander Stephen and Sons and immediately sank into the River Clyde, taking the lives of the 195 workmen on board. It was later discovered that the 460-ton ship had little stability when it was launched, and rolled over forty-five degrees, taking huge amounts of water through a large deck opening.
