This was taken today (16th May), at Blackness, just 16 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. You can still make out the snow on the tops!

WOW🟥 This is PAINFUL‼️ An unkempt Rachel Reeves on BBC Breakfast: "It doesn't get cold until October, so I'm not gonna tackle energy prices until then." Meanwhile, bills are going through the roof and oil costs are at all-time high. First female chancellor = genius.

If the judges have a golden buzzer, I think it's only fair the TV audience get a golden trapdoor. #bgt #BritainsGotTalent

This made me laugh! Flyer starts with "When corruption wears a flag.." Tory candidate then literally creates an amateurish AI image of himself... wearing a flag. #sp2026 #election2026 @ScotNational

Stephen Kerr MSP@RealStephenKerr

As your MSP, I will always hold the SNP to account. 🤝 I will seek: Truth ✅️ Facts ✅️ Evidence ✅️ Accountability ✅️ Transparency ✅️ On May 7th, vote for me, Stephen Kerr on your purple ballot and the Scottish Conservatives on your peach ballot. 🗳️ Together we can STOP the SNP. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🌐 This has been a totally unexpected gem to watch on #bbc4 right now. Characters on it have been fascinating to watch. Deserves a mainstream slot/ series! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Tha am prògram seo air a bhith inntinneach ri fhaicinn. Na caractaran, an t-àite 👌 #storyville #Україна #sanatorium

And heres another hilarious howler Ive just spotted from #Scottishlabour #Labour accusing SNP of being *analogue* for spending on NHS pagers in yet another FB ad Except... i) figure is since 2018 so kinda reasonable ii) doctors need pagers iii) pagers are *digital* @dm180914

Good spot Josh - Labour’s numbers *really* don’t add up! 108%! 😂

If John Swinney is in Washington to negotiate a trade deal, why is the BBC showing an image of a smiling Keir Starmer sat next to Trump? 🤔 Surely not the BBC wanting to deflect positive news away from the SNP and onto Labour? @JohnSwinney

Remember during coronation when commentators stated there would be 'plenty of time afterwards to debate the monarchy' & 'now isn't the time' 2 years later & still nothing Time for a proper debate on role & funding of monarchy #NotMyKing #TroopingTheColour #ScottishIndependence

Gary Allanach@garyallanach

'King' Charles's Coronation & 'Queen' Camilla So when do we get a say in all of this? When will the BBC honour its public service commitment to debate both sides? #Coronation2023 #NotMyKing

Also gave his name to a natty little dog breed - the Talbot hound. Now extinct and no-one really knows what it looked like but still seen on some pub signs

When #Shakespeare meets #familyhistory! I recently researched my maternal line. Meet John Talbot - my gt(x18!) grandfather! 😀 Thanks to his portrayal in Henry IV, I can claim that 'Chivalry died with my gt ...gt grandfather! lol theshakespeareblog.com/2013/08/the-en… #ShakespeareSunday

I noticed in #America when we were there that Easter eggs weren't a thing. If any country was going to commercialise Easter with chocolate eggs, would have thought it would have been the #USA Wonder why Easter eggs have never been a thing in America? #CBBUK #eastereggs #Easter

@AnasSarwar @BritAmBusiness Who is paying for your trip? London #Labour? The taxpayer? Why are you making out you're the First Minister of #Scotland when at best you're leader of a third placed party? 'New Direction'? Head in the direction of the job centre to collect your P45! #Scottishlabour #Labourlies

Great to talk about how we unlock Scotland’s potential in energy, digital, tourism and produce at @BritAmBusiness roundtable. The Scottish Labour government I lead will work to drive investment, jobs and growth into Scotland.
