It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for (whether you knew it or not). It’s time to find out how I, at 5ft1 with zero upper body strength, got on training with the Elgin tug o’ war team 💪🏻 Video included… https://t.co/uCFVR73OXY

Big news out of Cove which has come as somewhat of a surprise tonight. Hartley had done a tremendous job to take Cove into the Championship three seasons after joining the SPFL. Huge role to fill but a tremendous squad left for any new manager.

These really don't do it justice, but there's a rather nice sunset over Aberdeen.

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

Now time for the choir of St Margaret's School for Girls to shine.

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

And it's lit!

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

We're underway. And you can watch the whole thing on our Facebook Live with @elliem_milne

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

Nearly go time for the lighting of Aberdeen's Jubilee torch. Choir at the ready.

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

Some good things have happened in Aberdeen today though. Great buzz around Grampian Pride. Great to be in the city centre today. Pics here and coverage in Monday's P&J and EE. https://t.co/bI2lf4ST2L via @pressjournal

Just to mock me, there's a bus sitting right in front of me. Are you going to Inverurie (or Elgin), you are not...(and Burger King is closed, other shut food venues are available...)

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

I feel like I only tweet these days when at Aberdeen bus station, but it's Saturday, and here once again, and I have two options in the near future to get to Arbroath, but an hour wait to head in the direction of Inverurie. And they wonder why people don't use public transport...

Thanks @AndonovaDenny @pressjournal for featuring our event today. Event numbers this year are OK (will be biggest RtN yet) BUT charity sign ups are down. Our charities partners are such an integral part of the event ...these are challenging times 🚴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️https://t.co/epxAbEGO4j

There's always one joker in a group, and it seems like it's Glenn for the @FriendsofANCHOR Brave 2022 cohort! Read how jokes, his family and of course music helped @moraybrassteach through cancer https://t.co/Ph70ucb080

After far too many recent incidents at Highland League grounds, it was good to hear a strong message before today's game at Harlaw Park. If you think racism is acceptable, you're not welcome.

[Mark MacKay @MarkRJMacKay]

Aberdeen bus station mostly full of people saying I'm frustration: "How long to get to (insert literally any destination here)?". But aye, who needs to travel by car, we all live in cities, it's all about public transport. Who knows, the boards my have acurate times tonight....
