@MNDScotland@JamTarts Heart of Midlothian FC - I could not be prouder. My father, John Macleod, started this charity 40 years ago - despite roots in the Isle of Lewis he was Hearts through and through. MND took him from us in 1983 but his legacy is this charity; started with nothing but hope & friends
And they’re off! 8 months training,19 rtn trips Glasgow-Stornoway; today our dancing Hebridean girl heads to Florida for the World Cheer Champs. Thanks to all who helped support Bellas Team Scotland dream esp. Lochs News, @ishgaskincare & Alex Murray Construction.

@WHO
Talk to young people about safety around water. They should never swim in an unsupervised area like lochs, rivers, sea or ponds where there isn’t an adult to help if they get into trouble.

Now the rain has taken a break and things are drying out we’re seeing little (and not so little) puffs of smoke on the horizon and bracing ourselves for wildfires. Remember if you’re planning a muirburn please follow these guidelines. Thank you for your help.
@DavieMurdoch@scotfire_glasgo Formed in Glasgow, refined in Orkney… Best wishes to a dedicated and skilled fire officer. A credit to himself and his family and a wee tiny bit of credit to Glasgow for ‘lending’ him to Team WIOS. 👍
A real privilege to be able to fly in to Foula (one of the most remote islands in the UK) and support their community with CPR and Defib training while our Community Fire Safety team went door to door providing advice and information to the islanders. @fire_scot@IainMMacleod1

@nr310584@JamTarts@MNDScotland Yes Neil - excitement and noise! Apologies if you required a wee lie down after the Macleod children whirlwind passed through the club shop - no pens, books, kit and souvenirs were safe from the carnage!! A wonderful club with wonderful fans and so proud of our MND/HMFC link 👍⚽️
A year on from the launch of the @JamTarts and @MNDScotland partnership, we were back at Tynecastle today to get our year 2 shirts. Thank you to all at HMFC for the continued support. MND Scotland founders grandchildren happy with the raid on the club shop!
@iainmcw@MNDScotland@revivems Good luck in new role Iain - thank you for your 15 years of hard work and passion for @MNDScotland. On a personal note, my deepest thanks on behalf of the Macleod family. 👍
We're formally adopting the term ‘On Call’ to describe our Retained and Volunteer Duty System Firefighters.
When paged, they respond immediately to protect their communities. We're seeking people from all walks of life to become an On Call Firefighter: https://t.co/Olgb7Icjet
