Hydro Power from the Glens - solid Scottish engineering. Laggan dam is always a great place to stop and stare on the way to the north west.
Laggan dam near Fort William was at full chat today. What a sight it is. 🎥 Mark Trigg

The Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh has confirmed the number of people on a waiting list in Scotland is one in nine. Public Health Scotland gives the same figure. BBC Scotland cannot continue to allow Labour to claim it is one in six without challenge.

Political Scientist, Dr A Henderson - Edinburgh Uni extracted this result from 2014 Ref. This can be internationally accepted - as it’s an exact, factual extraction from an official voting event ! It’s solid proof that 52.7 % of Scots born in Scotland voted for Independence !

Today I announced £25.5 million of new investment to deliver more hospital treatments and reduce NHS waiting times even further. Waiting lists are already falling - this will keep that progress going.

I can assure Douglas Alexander that folks working in the whisky industry here in Speyside, have warmly welcomed the First Minister’s leadership and action on US tariffs.
Sec of State for Scotland, Douglas Alexander, has accused John Swinney of seeking “photo ops” with Donald Trump while the UKG does the “hard yards” on tackling US tariffs on whisky - the FM responded today saying Alexander is the “only person on the planet” moaning about it @LBC

The @INEOS_FPS is a vital Scottish asset which must be taken into public ownership ASAP by @scotgov before it goes the same way as another vital national asset - Grangemouth Refinery. The common factor here is @INEOS Latest in a line of UK grabs. #GBPipelineGrab
#GBEnergyGrab
We're proud to be the custodian of the FPS, a vital piece of UK infrastructure. For 50 years, it has safely delivered North Sea oil & gas, powering homes, hospitals & industries. A testament to UK engineering and innovation and a bridge to a low-carbon future #FPS50

Why is a mass stabbing on a train in England being used to portray public transport in Scotland as unsafe? This isn't the first time BBC Scotland has sought to project English issues onto Scotland.

A familiar British colonial story still applied in its death throes to remaining colonies such as Scotland. 'You extract resources and leave them poor...' Divide and rule strategies are still to the fore. #IndependenceIsNormal
