I spy Stac Pollaidh on the video.
Mist in the glens to the east this morning. Another fabulous day in the northwest climbing Cul Mor. The vistas, yet again, were sublime. Hardly a breath of wind during the walk. So memorable!

This lovely boy is available again as the offer he received before fell through. Can you please share for Dave?
Dave is a sweet 6 year old male cat. He is looking for a new home.
Dave is registered at the vets and healthy with no issues.
He is a house cat and would be best in a home with no young kids or other pets.
He likes a mix of wet and dry food.
Dave likes his home comforts and will sleep near his owner at night or on his cat tree.
He also enjoys his toys and likes to hide these around the house.
Dave can be shy at first but once he gets to know his new owner he is very loving and does his own thing.
Dave is a great companion and would suit someone who is on their own.
For anymore information or to offer this lovely lad a new home please email directly to info@help2rehome.com

Comments off so nobody can ask him how he plans to deliver this promise.
I’ve reminded the FM about the storm warning and pointed out that it lasts for 13 .hours as the clocks change overnight from GMT+1 to GMT.
I was careful to use the term GMT+1 rather than BST as such terminology is not allowed in Bute House. 🐈⬛

Currently GBP£1 is US$1.32 (ouch low)
So…
Gas is US$8.49 per US gallon
Diesel is US$10.09 per US gallon

The National framing Highland pylon anger as a grievance against Andy Burnham is an absolute fabrication. Planning in Scotland is 100% devolved. Under Section 36 of the Electricity Act, not a single overhead transmission line or super-pylon can be built across the Highlands without direct sign-off from Scottish Government ministers in Edinburgh. Even the Better Cable Route campaigners in your own article explicitly stated: “Given that planning is devolved, the Scottish Government cannot hide behind blaming Westminster and should urgently conduct its own inquiry”. Bute House holds the planning levers, holds the inquiry powers, and holds the statutory approval pen. Blaming Downing Street for infrastructure that Holyrood has to legally approve is a shameful deflection.
Another pointless article from the National.

Ella is an 8 year old female Tabby cat. She is looking for a new home. Sadly her previous home offer fell through.
Ella would be best in a quiet home with no other pets or children as she appears to get stressed.
She would be suited to someone who is on their own with a calm quiet home to allow her to relax.
Ella is registered at the vets and has been seen recently. She is healthy and active.
Ella is chipped and spayed.
She eats a mix of wet and dry food and can be left on her own if you need to go out.
Ella will venture outside but won't go as far away as the garden.
She likes to sleep in a cave she made herself in the wardrobe at night or on top of the drawers where there are clothes for her to keep cosy.
She is up to date with her vaccinations and very affectionate. She isn't keen being picked up but will be happy to sit next to you on the sofa or bed.
For more information or to offer Ella a new home please email info@help2rehome.com
And I thought that we were having a reasonable discussion!
Most embassies, consulates and High Commission buildings are rented, royal jewels will include the Honours of Scotland, the Crown Estate includes the land and sea bed in Scotland.
As for second hand military equipment, perhaps a share could given to Scotland.

I drafted a paper for discussion at Cabinet on Tuesday. The gist being that the SG should prepare a fully costed plan for the first year of an independent Scotland. It then would be debated in the Scottish Parliament. The FM just sighed and put it in the ‘too difficult’ file. 🐈⬛
2021
SNP: Seats 64 Constituency 47.7% Region 40.3%
Greens: Seats 8 Con 1.3% Reg 8.1%
Total: Seats 72 Con 49% Reg 48.4%
2026
SNP: Seats 58 Con. 38.2% Reg. 27.2%
Greens: Seats 15 Con. 2.3% Reg. 14.0%
Total: Seats 73. Con. 40.5% Reg 41.2%
Support for independence has fallen.
We could abolish the Scottish Parliament to free anyone from the burden of becoming the First Minister. 🐈⬛
The monarchy should be abolished to free Prince George from the burden of becoming king, Nicola Sturgeon says.
Scotland’s former first minister said it was unfair that the 13-year-old prince had no control over his destiny, and suggested that scrapping the monarchy would be considerate

My friend, who patrols the corridors of Holyrood, offers excellent advice. 🐈⬛

Can anyone help this beautiful boy and give him a much needed loving home.
Roughly 4-5 years old.
So far 2026 has been an awful year for this "poor wee soul" could someone turn it around for him.
He was named MAGGIE by a wee boy, who was feeding him on the streets. He is a stray cat who was sadly abandoned by his owner back in April.
We are assisting a cat rescue who became aware of Maggie following a member of the public contacting them.
Maggie is now off the streets, however this is only temporary, for a few days.
Even though he has only been in temporary care for three days he has adapted well, to a safe, warm, caring environment.
He is very timid and nervous, but once he is able to trust people around him he is very loving and a friendly cat, just looking for love and reassurance. He appears fit, healthy and happy, needs flea and worming treatments, not micro chipped.
He is eating Felix cat food & dry biscuits, however Maggie will eat anything.
No other pets, a quiet home is best.
We have set up a fund for Maggie to get him neutered, vaccinated, chipped and his flea and worm treatment for the next 12 months, which will be passed to any new owner.
This will also help us to find Maggie a new home.
If you would like to contribute you can do so via our donate link here square.link/u/AOd5zm6G
Any funds left over will be split between Help2Rehome and Cat Rescue.
If you can give this handsome boy what he deserves somewhere to feel safe, loved and well looked after. Email info@help2rehome.com
