Perhaps it was the presence of Willie Bain, smiling wanly in the public gallery, but today's Labour/SNP exchanges at first minister's questions seemed notably antagonistic. Mr Bain, of course, is a living, grinning reminder that Labour thumped the SNP in the Glasgow North East by-election . Today, like an invited Banquo, he hovered over the pre-lunch feast of oratory that is the weekly question session....

Hello all! It's been a while since I had a chance to Blog. The main tourist season is in the past, and I must admit that it has been a busy November so far, with lots of folk on the road. In particular, the coach companies are busy with their Turkey & Tinsel tours, so there are customers walking around in Santa hats! It's personally a bit early for me to even think about Christmas decorations,...

Would Calvin have recognised or welcomed Calvinism? What are the elements of his teachings that are still alive? One legacy of Calvin's is "Calvinism". Whether or not he intended this is not clear. But in the later years of his life he became very self-aware about his influence, through his writings, readily translated into English and Dutch and other languages, and the presence of congregations...

Been looking through my collection of photos taken in 2009, and just wanted to post some. A while ago Walkers crisps company had a competition where 6 selected crisps flavours were up for the public to decide which one would be added permanently to the already extensive selection of flavours. Seriously, I only liked the taste of the onion-bhaji crisps. The squirrel-flavoured one tasted of wood -__-"...

When I was a girl, growing up in a small town in Lancashire, I was used to the sights and sounds of an industrial landscape. From my bedroom window, I could see a woollen-spinning mill complete with tall, mill chimney and the sound of churning machinery. On days when the industrial process began, the smell from the extraction of lanolin from the wool was appalling! This was just part of life... the...

After being thoroughly drubbed in the Glasgow NE by-election the SNP need to dust themselves down and jump into positive mode. All I will say about the by-election was I hope the SNP now realise a strong local candidate must be the choice in these constituencies. The English unionist approach of parachuting in 'favourites' doesn't go down well here in Scotland. Jeff is suggesting they now drop their...

As Scotland were being put to the sword in the first half in Cardiff, the Sky Sports commentator said that he’d covered a lot of Wales games and this was the best he had ever seen them play. But wait a minute; isn’t it only two months since Scotland made the Norwegians look like world beaters? This is becoming a habit. Credit to Wales for a cutting-edge performance that will give them new...

My country's resistance to nuclear energy is easy to understand, but its alternative is baffling Readers of London newspapers are used to blank spaces north of the border. Maps illustrating variations in house prices, healthcare provision, obesity rates, knife crime, tourist numbers – they show white beyond the diagonal that links a point north of Berwick to another point north of Carlisle....
