@chinnychick @ScotAirAmb Sorry to hear about your Dad: Wishing him a speedy recovery. @ScotAirAmb are awesome.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the crew of the @ScotAirAmb last night for flying out to Arran to collect my dad after he suffered a stroke yesterday. They safely got him across the water to the mainland. A long day for this crew no doubt, yet they came for him. I hope this tweet makes it back to them. As a fellow helicopter crew gal, I hope you know how much what you do matters to people. 🙏🫶 dad is talking now, but a long road ahead 😔😢

@specialopsmag He’s a Doctor as well.

@BloodyPolitics @GPAPassenger Watched one abort a landing in atrocious weather at Windy Wellington many years ago. We’d just landed in a tiny (by comparison) twin prop Metroliner air ambulance.

First to spot Craig Gordon wins a ticket for Scotland v Haiti.

@AmyJStu Beautiful stretch of road between them: Benderloch, Appin, Port Appin, Castle Stalker, Lismore, The Linnhe Storehouse & Cafe, Bunree, Corran Ferry (gateway to Strontian and the best route to Mull).

I’ve lived in Scotland for over 30 years and there’s so much of it I haven’t seen. Oban and Fort William are definitely on my list for the near future.

@KateFantom Parking says it all

The one on the right is my van. The one on the left sits higher than my van, weighs more than my van, has less storage space than a VW Golf, weighs around 1000kgs more than a Golf and almost 700kgs more than our own EV. With the high risk of these burning down an airport carpark in Luton, their horrific emissions, reliability, fuel economy and weight, it’s a wonder why people buy them.

@theiaincameron Love these posts: who’d have thought the Tummel original would be so close to the West Coast.

The River Tay is the longest river in Scotland, and the seventh longest in the U.K.. It is also the biggest river in the U.K. in terms of volume (~190k litres per second). It is often said that its source is on Ben Lui near Tyndrum. *But*, is it actually? Possibly not. (1/6)

@_rossdavidson Beautiful: Special place. Saw my 1st brocken spectre their

Mamores, Scotland.

@ApoStructura The whole point is that triage IS discriminating (not perfectly but on the whole mostly very good): It literally means to sieve. So that those with the most emergent issue are seen most quickly (again, doesn’t work perfectly, but we try).

> call nhs hotline “I think I might have broken my ankle I need an X-ray to check” “go to Urgent care” >go “you need to register for triage” >register, wait 1h20 “You need to go to UC” >go, wait 30m “You need an X-ray” >go, wait 15m. X-ray takes 45 sec “You need to see the doctor >wait 10m “Not broken but bruised, was worth checking, you can go home” In a less retarded system this whole thing would have been over in 25m. This indiscriminate triage setup is a big waste of everyone’s time, including hospital personnel!

@nypost What a tragedy but there is so much misinformation in these comments: 50m depth is 6x atmospheric pressure; breathing air at 50m = a partial pressure of O2 of 1.26 bar which is within safety limits for SCUBA diving etc. etc.

@CalumRaasay My Dad drove his first car, circa ‘89/‘90, into her bulkhead whilst loading when his clutch foot slipped 😮

A blast from the past. We visited Inishbofin - one of Ireland’s most westerly islands - to see our old ferry! The MV Raasay was built originally for our island in 1976, but has been out here serving Inishbofin since 2018. My dad, who worked on her for years, got a chance to reminisce!

@Mountaingoat86 Sorry to read this and thank you for your beautiful images.

The coming days align with 2009. 17 yr ago, Bank Hol Monday was the last time my wee boy was knowingly ok. He was then born asleep on Wednesday 6th. He would have been 17 this coming week. I'm not a photographer, but my camera has been my friend. Thank you for listening 💙

@russellcrowe Cannot wait for the cinematic release: The original is one of my all time favourite films.

There can be only one …

@sharmanator951 Wow!
