Hullo folks, foos yer doos? Packin awa?

It's time tae share, so come awa ben an lend us yer lugs

What? Stick a sign up and wait for them to fall. £50 - job done! Put a rope up around the worst. Maybe another £100. And the council must have gardeners on their books, do none of them want to learn tree felling?

A little less politics for us late Sunday night. And what a nice story

And like that, it's back to your box Scotland. Can't have you dreaming of nice things now

Weasel words, no legal footing, unprecented, and lacking in clarity. Yup, it's a PM comment on self rule. Still, at least he acknowledges that Scotland has the right to decide in some fashion. A step up from the last few PMs.

Now, Sinn Fein have to do us a favour and find out the real route to that border poll. As it looks set that Scotland has to follow that route.

With Sutherland's port dreams gone SaxaVord makes sense to invest in finally. Fingers crossed for launches soon!

Nobody wants these anywhere near them. The only way to make them palatable looks to be literally sink them in the sea. My advice: the desert instead

So many golden retrievers! Great photography weekend right here

Hullo folks, how's it gawin this week? Wha's got onyhin tae share? Tis the place fer it!

A poor decision. Aberdeen will be rejoicing, but the planet doesn't need it, the rest of Scotland doesn't need it, and the UK doesn't need it

Very well in short! Bus usage growing steadily for the last few years. New operators. New routes. Buses are cool

What a great field trip. Nothing like this existed at my school, that's for sure. Amazing what money can buy

Mmm, lobster. I quite want to visit Skye now and get a lobster

Hullo folks, how's it gawin this week? Who's got summin tae share? Plans, gripes, or japes? August's nearly flit, must be summin happenin!

These unis bet on the foreign students. And a few factors, primarily brexit, has resulted in that bet not paying off.

I'd personally like to see how that 5bn a year is spent. Cause even at 50k/staff member, and staffing costing 75% of costs, that's 75,000 employed in our 15 unis, or 6k each. Which for Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and St Andrew's is plausible. But UHI? Abertay? Stirling?

I suspect a large amount of debt payments in essence. Especially at Edinburgh and Dundee, both of whom own vast chunks of their cities, and given these students aren't here: sell up

Aye, a rare crisp indeed. Foond in Sainsbury's the day. Scranned playin Halo wi ma best man. A guid Thursday nicht!

G'wan back tae yer business mind noo

2 years eh? That sucks. With more ASD diagnoses in the population things should get easier, but damn this is hard today
