Holyrood’s new fiscal literacy programme is all about ensuring MSPs have confidence in understanding Scotland’s public finances.
It will better equip MSPs to scrutinise budgets, challenge evidence, explain trade-offs and focus attention on outcomes for the people of Scotland.
On Monday, almost 70 MSPs – both new and re-elected members - attended the first session in the programme, organised jointly by @SPICe_Research and @OECD
We also had expert input from @AuditScotland @scotfisccomm and @Strath_FAI
The next session will be in November.

First Minister @JohnSwinney visited Coalsnaughton to hear about work to support residents evacuated from their homes, due to ground movements.
We will continue to meet regularly with Clackmannanshire Council to provide support where and when it is required.

Fans are being priced out of football.
Thanks to @jmcginn7 & @kevinbridges86 highlighting this issue.
This week the Scottish Parliament voted for my amendment to cap away tickets in Scotland at £25 but so much more needs done across the game.
Football without fans is nothing!

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

On this day in 1868: legendary Scottish architect & artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born in Glasgow. Alongside his wife Margaret MacDonald, he was part of "The Glasgow Four," pioneering the UK's Art Nouveau movement. This stunning statue of him is by Andy Scott.

❤️⭐️We're hugely proud of Jordan Kerr, the 15-year-old Army Cadet who saved a young boy's life at Drumchapel station by giving him CPR. Jordan wanted a defibrillator machine installed at the station and now we've put one in. He went along to see it and tell us what he thought.
You're a star Jordan!
