SELLING SCOTLAND

The purpose in buying it in the first place was simply to sell it for a profit. We should have the powers to block sales at the point of purchase.

An uninhabited private island in Loch Lomond owned by the broadcaster Kirsty Young has gone on the market with a £3m price tag.

The plain old presenter bought Inchconnachan island - nicknamed Wallaby Island due to it being home to Scotland's only colony of wild wallabies - in 2020 and last year secured permission to build a holiday lodge there.

However, it has now been put up for sale through real estate agent Sotheby's, with two purchase options. Buyers can acquire it with planning permission for £3m or buy it as a turnkey asset for £10m.

The optional £7m construction would add in a bespoke luxury retreat, with work expected to take about two years.

London based Soethby's describe the island as offering "extraordinary seclusion" and being somewhere that is a "haven for sea eagles and nesting ospreys", while "elevated viewpoints and the sweeping shoreline offer uninterrupted views towards Ben Lomond".

England have just lost for the third time at Wembley this season, this time to Scotland, who then invade the Wembley pitch.

@OneOutof4 Nick Lowe, but I thought he was English rather than American?

@AlihuttonPipes What did he do? Did I miss something??

Soccer match which took place in 1897 between Glentoran and Cliftonville in Northern Ireland.

This footage, now corrected for speed and colorised is thought to be the Worlds first filmed football match

@dodger1874 Noticed the new heather on the 4th hole today. Is the intention to deter people from going for the green?

[Rab Lockhart @Hertz_1874]

If it wasn't for VAR this goal would have been chopped off, that's not incompetence to flag there it's cheating.

@dodger1874 Wont bother a hacker like me, but would you see a low handicapper taking a 3 wood, or less, off the tee?

@cineworld Just wondering if Cineworld Edinburgh will be open this evening?

@dodger1874 @GcThorndon @dodger1874 Half a dozen youngsters on eBikes charging over the Braids on Sat afternoon unfortunately. Hopefully no damage done.

Dear Superintendents and Golf Staff,

If you see players spend a lot of time searching for balls in the rough... especially when groups are all poking around together... your rough is probably too high.

This slows down the pace of play and makes the game less enjoyable.

Also, setting up courses with 4+ inch U.S. Open rough for everyday amateurs is less than ideal.

If you believe that’s how their rounds should go, I’d really encourage you to reconsider.

Thanks,
Lou

@BenColeyGolf @DPWorldTour I take your point, but familiarity with the players helps me to engage with what I'm watching. There is now just too much churn for my tastes. If they just reduced it to say the top 5, that would help.

@BladeoftheS Why doesn't his dad just transfer it now?

[Robin @robinhtaylor]

@BenColeyGolf @DPWorldTour But he only plays a handful of events. And each year, another 10 join him. As a viewer, it undoubtedly devalues what I'm watching week in week out.
