Gorgeous morning. Denny and I walk the length of the Long Walk which goes from Windsor Castle to the 'Copper Horse' with King George III sat proudly upon it, a total of three miles. We also walked all the way back. We were completely fagged out. The glorious views of the castle relieved the pain of our aching toes and knees. Came back to Clewer Fields and devoured a massive breakfast with John. Do...

In the 1970s, after leaving The Beatles, Paul McCartney created Wings and enjoyed a string of international hits. Wings was Paul, wife Linda and Denny Laine, who used to play with The Moody Blues. (There were others who came in and out during the decade) Wings released over 20 singles and several albums. Paul went solo in 1980 and stayed solo to this day. Many Novembers ago, Paul McCartney recorded...

Since my post on October 29 about the leaked news that the Scottish government was to give the go ahead to the Beauly-Denny Power Line, which will carve a horrific industrial slash through the Scottish Highlands, the groups forming the Beauly-Denny Landscape Group have called on their members and all those opposed to the line to write to Alex Salmond, Scotland’s First Minister at First.Minister@...

Your editorial (28 October) was fundamentally wrong. The safe, secure and reliable delivery of electricity is vital to every aspect of life within the UK. The power transmission and distribution system underpins modern civilisation. However, to characterise that system as "built quickly and unthinkingly" is misinformed and unfair. For example, the Beauly-Denny proposal has been subject to...

Electricity is invisible; unfortunately the structures that carry it across the country are not. When, in 1928, Sir Reginald Blomfield gave his architectural approval to the six-armed steel monsters that now stalk Britain, the electrification of the country was a national priority. Little thought was given to the route that power lines took, or their ability to drain wildness from the landscape. The...

Power lines look set to be approved Reports that the Beauly to Denny Power line looks set to be approved by the Scottish Government has raised concerns for a local politician. Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife Liz Smith thinks other alternatives may not have been given full consideration and is also worried about environmental and health concerns. The necessary upgrade to the lines will see...

The BBC's Politics Show Scotland reported at lunchtime that a decision is to be made this week to allow the controversial Beauly to Denny power line. This is the scheme to upgrade the existing power line running from Beauly in the north of Scotland to Denny in the Central Belt. There's not much argument about the need for the enhanced power lines (although Brian Wilson* did his best on the show)....

Personally, I think this is probably the best solo album that McCartney did and probably even the best of any of the ex-Beatles solo efforts. After the success of Red Rose Speedway and "Live And Let Die"—the new James Bond theme song—Wings began contemplating its next album. Paul and Linda McCartney, bored with recording in the UK, wanted to go to an exotic locale. After asking...

James Campbell, formerly an art teacher at Denny High School in Stirlingshire, took Falkirk Council to an employment tribunal claiming disability discrimination because he is bald. He told the court he had suffered harassment as a result of his [...]

A beautiful run up from Moffat past the Devil's Beef Tub (see it!), along the Tweedsmuir glen (source of that great salmon river Tweed) (hereabouts I believe the sources of the Rivers Clyde and Tweed are only about a mile apart...?) - past the Crook Inn (why') now up for sale as a planning order to maintain it's public house and resting place status, is cast to stop it being developed into another...

Not many people have heard of John Rushworth or William Clarke not to mention Henry Elsynge, yet these men were crucial, as Mercurius Politicus argues , to the development of the English Civil War. The reasons he gives are entirely apt- concentrating on the kind of politics that David Starkey has made us so aware of in the Tudor court- the politics of access, the kind of politics in which individuals...

London, May 19 (ANI): A ginger and white cat has been nicknamed ‘Spidercat’ because of its unique ability to scale the walls of his master’s home in Denny, near Falkirk, Scotland, to sneak indoors via the upstairs balcony door. Click Here To Read the Full Post
