Fergus Ewing Independent MSP for Inverness and Nairn - and Scotlands longest serving tourism minister said: “Unless the @scotgov intervenes now these rates valuation notices will directly result in the assassination of thousands of small hard working self catering businesses. It will be ‘the day of the Jackal’ for wee tourism businesses. Executed by the Assessor on the tacit orders of the Scottish Government.” @ASSCnews @st_alliance @scothospgroup assc.co.uk/non-domestic-r…

@trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads Can you confirm location please - this map says Dalnaspidal which of course is north of Calvine?

❗️NEW 🕑11:00 #A9 - Ballinluig The #A9 at Ballinluig is blocked in both directions due to a three vehicle collision. Police are on scene...traffic at the moment is at a standstill. Please #takecare on approach. @NWTrunkRoads

@MurphyNiallGLA @GreatScotRun @GlasgowHeritage Well done pal! We were lucky with the weather weren’t we 😊. Good job 🙌

I rashly entered the @GreatScotRun half marathon before everything kicked off with my Dad so had very little time for training; however, I thought I should just go for it 🏃! I’m glad I did because not only was #Glasgow city centre heaving with folk and had a real buzz about it, the run was great fun especially the bit across the Kingston Bridge 😮! I managed to nab a couple of selfies next to some key @GlasgowHeritage grant funded projects including ‘Cooperative House’ at 95 Morrison Street which we helped get reroofed (I was determined to get that one from the Kingston Bridge) and the South Rotunda which was on the Buildings at Risk Register but is now the HQ of @MalinGroup In the end I finished the run in 2hrs and 30 minutes so even though I was shattered afterwards I’m pleased with myself for getting back in the saddle 😅👍!

@NickyAACampbell 🍻

Lovely local pilsner. Dun Brewing company Glen Beag. Have a lovely evening.

@bbctms @AlexHartley93 @norcrosscricket Nice work @AlexHartley93 😂🙌

Oasis finally return to the stage this evening so @AlexHartley93 was given a secret mission in the commentary box with an unsuspecting @norcrosscricket … And it’s fair to say she smashed it! 👏 Biblical. #BBCCricket #ENGvIND

@NickyAACampbell It still might take a wee while but this is a huge step forward. 🙏

Now the South African Govt want him out. Emotional night for the boys. Former teacher will be extradited to UK over sexual abuse charges - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@FionaCampbell74 @ScotRail Sadly it’s like this quite a lot of the time. Surely it’s not too difficult to put enough carriages on the key services on one of the main routes in Scotland?

Inverness - Edinburgh: Standing room only. Surely we can do better than this in the height of summer for both our residents and guests @ScotRail?

@bbctms @englandcricket Aggers, is Keith Floyd perhaps the name you are looking for, he could have been a judge on the sparkling wine competition?

A big milestone for the @englandcricket captain ⭐ How good is it to see him bowling again? #bbccricket #ENGvWI

@easyJet Luggage drop off queue at Nice airport is a min 400m long right through the terminal - what is happening?!

This was our teacher, the man featured in BBC Panorama. Countless charges here. We await the extradition decision. And in South Africa, a very different culture in terms of coming forward, one very brave man has taken it to court. He’s a hero. Fingers crossed.

A quick bit of news about this weeks podcast. And why it is not yet released. And tomorrow nights Panorama. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

A country addicted to cover-up. Since this story went up yesterday, I've had a dozen more disclosures about abusers in schools whose activities were ignored. ‘Jimmy Savile mark II’: why was an alleged child abuser able to move from school to school? theguardian.com/society/2023/n…

@finnysteve @bbctms Really enjoyed your commentary and insights 👍.

I have loved being here in India to cover the World Cup with @bbctms Hope everyone has enjoyed the coverage as much as I’ve enjoyed doing it. Thanks to all my colleagues for making the last 7/8 weeks such a great experience. 🫡

Thank you to @BBCPanorama for telling our story. And the story of a man now in his mid-eighties evading justice. And thank you to the brave men who helped them tell it. You are incredible. #survivors Coming soon.

@FionaCampbell74 @ASSCnews @SaveSCScotland Absolutely no need for any form of apology! It is the government who should be apologising but they never will because they don’t listen. Thank you for all you and the team have done and continue to do 🙏

Today, it is with a heavy heart that I have to apologise to self-catering businesses and small accommodation operators across Scotland, and to everyone whose businesses and livelihoods depend on tourism who will feel the effect. @ASSCnews @SaveSCScotland linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@NickyAACampbell @AilsaRochester Brilliant, so very well deserved. Thank you Nicky and Jenny for a such a moving and heartfelt podcast. It means an awful lot to so many as of course you know. ❤️

This was a lovely surprise. @AilsaRochester is an astonishing producer. And thanks to all who have listened. So appreciated.

@NickyAACampbell Good luck Nicky.

British Podcast Awards tonight. My podcast ‘Different’ is up for best interview. V exciting. Nerve- racking. Amazing podcasters as far as you can see. But there’s free beer :)

@FionaCampbell74 The FM claiming that the ‘government’ has listened to the industry simply couldn’t be further from the truth.

Some weekend wildlife. One of the pine martens out hunting 🙂 #wildlife #scottishhighlands
