HistEnvScot: Dramatist & poet Joanna Baillie was born in Bothwell on 11 September 1762.
Her plays focussed on the psychological. She wanted audiences to appreciate the detail of the actors' expressions. Perhaps she'd have excelled as a screenwriter if she'd been born 200 years later?

sarasheridan: AWWW I forgot Joanna Baillie the pre-eminent dramatist of her generation. Baillie donated half her earnings to charity. She used her influence to support working class poets & female writers, inspired Byron & was considered by Martineau 2nd only to Shakespeare. That's it I'm done

LewisPRoberts: Dear Twitter hive mind, does anyone know if John Baillie (d. 1743), physician and author of the Essay on the Sublime (pub. 1747) is related to the playwright Joanna Baillie?
DNB has no info on this, but I am intrigued since Joanna was from a family of physicians

Strange inward sounds awake, and to mine eyes
Rush stranger tears, there is a joy in fear."

GoodLawProject: Conservative MP Siobhan Baillie claimed she had “never helped anyone receive or apply for any government contract'.
But emails reveal she referred at least three PPE offers to the Cabinet Office – with one firm bluntly requesting “VIP” access.
MarinaPurkiss: Here’s a story…
Siobhan Baillie is a Tory MP
She referred a firm called P14 Medical to the Govt’s VIP fast lane for contracts
P14 is run by an ex-Tory councillor
He won a £276m contract
And supplied 120m face masks
Only 1 in 400 could be used
That’s £423 per mask
