This National Records of Scotland graph explains the ridiculous number of Laura’s at BBC Scotland news 😂 It was the most popular girls name in Scotland for ten years (1979-1989) though I’m a ‘76 Laura so clearly a trendsetter!

Nick was a huge, bright light. Unforgettably funny, kind, clever and multi talented. We were so lucky to know and work with him and his shocking loss is just devastating. All my love to the family and friends he adored. Rest well Nick x
"Nick has been a wonderful colleague. He was a hugely talented journalist, presenter and author – and one of those rare people who light up the lives of everyone around them." Head of News & Current Affairs at BBC Scotland Gary Smith pays tribute to Nick Sheridan.

My university dissertation was about 20th Century First Ladies so they’re endlessly fascinating to me. They all shaped the role in different ways. Rosalynn Carter was a moderniser.
Rosalynn Carter married Jimmy Carter in 1946, and they had a partnership unlike any other known at the time for a president and first lady. "She gave me wise guidance and encouragement," Jimmy Carter said in a statement Sunday after her death.

We'd love to hear your Edinburgh Festivals stories and experiences this morning on #bbcgms. Shows as well as living or trying to stay in the city during this busy month.
As this picture demonstrates, it’s a while since I’ve had a decent fringe (sadly) but I’ve been at the Edinburgh Festivals for the past couple of days for #bbcgms. This morning we want to know your best fringe memories, tips and ideas. Or d’you avoid it altogether?! Let us know.
