Well, this is it folks. Almost the moment of departure. I’m not sure what to say, except thank you for your warmth and support. I’m looking forward to sharing my journey with you. See you later. 😊 #scotland365

Hurling abuse at journalists is never acceptable. Their job is vital to our democracy & it is to report & scrutinise, not support any viewpoint. @BBCJamesCook is a journalist of the highest quality and a total pro - the behaviour he was subjected to last night was disgraceful

Stuart & Jack both started with us as modern apprentices (a few years ago) before starting a graduate apprenticeship. After 4 four years of study (while working at Angus Council) they completed their BSc (Hons) IT Management! Well done Stuart and Jack 🤩

Due to tree removal, bus services 21 and 21A are unable to serve Edzell Woods. As the arch B966 has reopened, buses will operate via Stracathro to Edzell & return to usual route from there. Enjoy Edzell Golf Course’s video!
