Oh, there she is… 👀
What a nice post from @gcu_alumni. Sometimes I feel pure jammy working at @BBCScotlandNews. It’s an absolute privilege getting to speak to - and work with - so many inspiring people. ❤️ Cally played a big part in getting in the door.

Well done to all our @CaledonianNews MA Multimedia Journalism students who’ve just finished their assessed newsweek - a busy day for news in Scotland but their front page looked great (as did the one they had to ditch this morning!)

There were bizarre scenes at Lochgilphead when a tied vote saw leadership of the council decided by cutting cards, with candidates backed by the SNP, Labour and some independents winning both times.

In case anyone was wondering what I do during my holidays ☺️
I think this pollution incident stemming from a pipeline running from Loch Long to Grangemouth is being seriously downplayed

[The Lochside Press @LochsidePress]
