We are currently in attendance at a wildfire on Slievenaman Road, Newcastle. Locals should avoid the area to help support firefighting operations. NIFRS request the public act responsibly if you are in the countryside this weekend. If you see a fire, call 999 immediately

@BrechinYes2 Take your point but this seems odd given that we are all jock tamsons bairns. Pedant mode off. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_Tams…

A Russian is selling his Scottish Estate for £67 million. Want a bet. The next owner won't be one of Jock Tamson's bairns. 408 people own half of rural Scotland. A motley bunch of Aristocracy, Bankers, Offshore Tax Dodgers and Foreigners. Tax them. Won't lose any votes. Overdue.

@UndisScot That used to be my commute. When I got the job the boss told me don't try to use a motorbike. It's been tried.

WHERE IN SCOTLAND? Where is this? This is part of an image that appears somewhere on Undiscovered Scotland. Please reply with your answers. We'll award kudos to the first correct response before posting the next in the series tomorrow.

@allrockmusic If this is the one that the BBC showed live I was there.

The Cure playing “One Hundred Years” live in Glasgow, 1984 — pure Pornography era gloom in the best way. Robert Smith looks half-haunted, half-locked in, and the whole thing hits like a cold wave. This one ever get under your skin?

@balconyshirts Are they going to restore Shetland

The Restore Britain logo looks like the opening of a 1970s sitcom starring Leo McKern and Penelope Keith.

@danro_art Boxing day only became a public holiday in Scotland in 1974

@ScotRail hey. I found a phone just outside Waverley station tonight and I cannot believe that none of your staff would take it cause it was found outside the station perimeter. Where’s your wider civic sense? There were no police around to hand it too - presumably busy on calls. Meanwhile your team stood with hands in pockets saying “not my problem”!

Mosses and lichens are often at their best in winter, when damp conditions make them easier to spot and study. Our winter lichen & moss bundle brings together three compact guides designed to help you identify common species in the field. The bundle includes: • Woodland mosses & liverworts – a practical introduction to species you’re likely to encounter in woods • Churchyard lichens – 50 common species, with a clear identification key on the reverse • Garden mosses & liverworts – ideal for exploring urban and suburban habitats The three guides are currently available together for £10: buff.ly/AFvIctr

@1953FlyingScot A slate blew off a neighbours house through a colleague's car roof. She got them to fit a sunroof on the insurance.

Get the panoramic roof they said, they’re great they said…..

The £2m MOT4Rivers research project is investigating how pollutants interact with rivers & ecosystems to devise a system to monitor & measure pollution. Prof Andrew Tyler, @StirUni, will share their progress in a webinar, Thurs 12 Feb, 2pm. Message us to join.
