My husbands name is Murray Ross - he tidied up the garden yesterday - I am delighted the PM took time to recognise this achievement and that he is doing a great job in Scotland. It's the start of many tasks he has to do 😀

Like the analogy of the 'old ship, increasingly unseaworth and drifting off into mid-ocean after being boarded by pirates' and the other option of a 'lifeboat'. It works. Clever.
I don’t find it easy with my background to say I support independence. Easier to stay quiet. But I do, for various reasons, the main one being that I want to live in a functioning democracy. My letter in ⁦@NewStatesman⁩

2 weeks till the deadline! Remember to get your crofting census form returned before 31 March. Pop online and complete it via our website, it only takes 5 minutes. @CroftingScot #croftingscot #croftingcensus #crofters #crofting
THANK YOU to everyone who has invested so far, we currently have £564,900! We have extended the deadline to ensure we reach our total and to allow those that haven't had the chance to invest yet to do so. We would like to keep the momentum going so please spread the word!

Well I'm all for putting the bear back into Bearsden. You've got to admit the area suffers from really terrible species decline, some might even say cataclysmic habitat loss, at the hands of these urban planners.

75% of people may support it but that doesn’t mean they have the slightest clue what they are talking about. Land has been managed for thousands of years, extreme version of ‘rewilding’ would ignore that & also push food production to other parts of the world.

Tax is a topic which doesn’t always inspire enthusiasm and stimulate debate, however, it has a crucial role to play in how land and property markets operate in Scotland. We need to start that debate.
