Body | **Weather** [(Powered by Dark Sky)](https://darksky.net/poweredby/) Overcast throughout the day. Around 9 to 16 degrees. **Travel** No line problems reported. **What's On Today** Fuck all. Go out if you must, but stay safe. Don't be a fanny. **Today in Scottish History** On this day in 1814 the novel "Waverley", by Sir Walter Scott, was published. Waverley was Scott's first novel, and written mainly as a way of proving himself a superior literary talent to Byron. Although it was published anonymously as a safety net against its failure, it was an open secret who the author was. Scott needn't have worried: the book was a runaway success and Scott became regarded as the leading author in Europe. On 7 July 1307 King Edward I of England died on his last punitive expedition to Scotland at Burgh-on-Sands, near Carlisle. The epitaph to him in Westminster Abbey, London, reads Edwardus Primus Scotorum Malleus hic est. - Edward the First, hammer of the Scots. His successor, Edward II, was to prove less successful in dealing with Scotland. **/r/GlasgowMarket Digest** [Locally Made Facemasks with donation to charity from each sale](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/hmby0h/locally_made_facemasks_with_donation_to_charity/) **Tune of the day** [Bruce Springsteen - The River](https://youtu.be/nAB4vOkL6cE) (suggested by /u/high_flourishes) Only one eligible link submitted today.
