A very bleak butt. The Pentlands could and should be the lungs of Edinburgh, and a place of wonder for children, a haven for wildlife, instead we choose driven grouse shooting.

Alongside partners, we've launched an e-petition calling on @NetworkRailScot to urgently reopen Dalwhinnie level crossing, which it closed without consulting local residents, councils or outdoor groups. 🥾🚵‍♀️🛤️⛰️ ✍️ Please stand up for this vital, historic route by signing today!

It is with immense sadness we today mourn the passing of British running legend Dr. Ron Hill M.B.E. - Our founder, our inspiration, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a runner. - We send our thoughts to May, Graham, Steve and all the family at this time #RonHill #RunningLegend

Congratulations to Tom Hollins who has finished his Wainwright round in about 6 days 21 hours 30 min. An amazing achievement in some really bad weather. 3rd fastest ever time.

I think lockdown has made me less tolerant of the rubbish that can be shown on TV. I have been a lover of books since a very young age but let that passion of discovery contained in the pages of a well written tome dwindle and it is a pleasure to see it grow again... @MuirJonny
