A dramatic late night surge in a leafy Glasgow suburb - Police find | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
a significant stash of firearms, including what appear to be army | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
assault rifles. The return from Afghanistan - we | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
hear from the men of the Black Watch, who are home to their | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
families after six months in Helmand Province. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
It is a cup semi-final weekend - Paul Hartley has played for all | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
four clubs involved. On the weekend a world remembers | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
the Titanic, we hear the story of one father's faith, courage and | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
ultimate sacrifice and a tribute to the grandson he never met. People | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
like this, as they say about good men, are scarce. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
A major police operation is continuing this evening at a former | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
farmer north of Glasgow after the discovery of what police are | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
describing as a significant stash of weapons. It was found by one of | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
the occupants of the farm he told BBC Scotland it includes assault | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
rifles, handguns, a shotgun and a quantity of Annette -- of | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
ammunition. This was just part of a stash of weapons found in a field | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
in a Glasgow suburb last night. It appears to be the standard weapon | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
of issue for the British Army. Here is what appears to be two magazines | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
of ammunition for assault rifles. These pictures sent to us by the | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
man who found weapons lying near the farmhouse he lives in. He | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
alerted the police around this time last night. A forensic team worked | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
on into the night recovering guns. The man who found them believes | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
he'd stop the assault rifles, a shotgun, a rifle and handguns. -- | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
he saw. I was shown the area today. It has been at the centre of the | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
search. The was a range of firearms found and I cannot go into the | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
exact numbers, but what I will tell you is, it is a significant find | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
and our investigations are on going to find out who brought the weapons. | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
Was there ammunition found as well? Yes, there was ammunition found. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
significant quantities? Yes, insignificant quantities. The old | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
farmhouse next to it was nicknamed by neighbours. It is known as | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
:03:03. | :03:03. | ||
heartbreaker tell. -- it is known as heartbreak Hotel. The police are | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
saying this morning that they found a quantity of firearms and | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
ammunition. How does that make you feel? Absolutely shocked. Fairly | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
horrified, actually. There is not much more I can say about it. I am | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
surprised and horrified. The stash of arms being found just yards from | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the local secondary school was another major concern for residents. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
The pharmacist on the other side of the playing field, so it is very | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
close to the school. -- the Farmer is on the other side. It is | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
probably good at the school is not in today. The search was spread out | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
to include fields and woodland. While officers combed the ground, | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
it was surveyed by the air by helicopters. -- it was survived | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
from the air -- it was surveyed from the air. There is a major | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
inquiry under way as to just too dumb to these guns here and why. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
-- as to food dumps to these guns here and why. | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
In what condition where the guns found? When you think that just | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
goes to magazines we showed you, each one of them could hold 30 | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
rounds each. I understand that the weapons and ammunition were wrapped | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
in a plastic tarpaulin inside a bag, and the bike was inside a plastic | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
bin bags. -- red was inside a plastic bin. That seems to indicate | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
that at least some effort had been made to make sure that the guns | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
were still capable of being fired and used. When you think about the | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
size of this - that was found, and you think about Glasgow, a city | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
with a reputation still for gangland violence, that is a | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
frightening prospect. The other issue that will become interesting | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
is of the police confirm that that is indeed an assault rifle, | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
standard issue for the British Army. It is among the most lethal of | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
assault weapons. Quite how that ended up as part of this - will be | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
very interesting indeed. -- of this stash of weapons. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Or three bidders for Rangers Football Club have changed their | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
conditions of all for following a statement from the Scottish Premier | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
League. The clubs and ministers and -- the club's administrators say | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
that all three remain injured Chester. -- remain interested. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
The last group of Black Watch soldiers to complete a six month | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
tour of duty in Afghanistan have returned to their base at Fort | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
George near Inverness. The battalion was sent to central | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Helmand Province last year to help train Afghan security for what -- | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
security forces. A series of homecoming parade has now been | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
planned. Back in his homeland, miles away | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
from Helmand Province. He was on foot patrol just few days ago. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
affect everyone in different ways when you're there. Most of the time, | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
you have to get on with the job. You have to stay switched on to | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
make sure you do not have any casualties. He is one of over 400 | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Black Watch soldiers deployed from Fort George to central Helmand | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Province. They helped train the Afghan security forces in a region | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
of around 140,000 people. It was about Hearts and minds. It was | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
extremely challenging. We got through in the end. The Scottish | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Italian returns unscathed, despite a number of recent attacks on other | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
trips from enemy within. We have had a number of high-profile | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
incident. Every day, there are thousands of patrols working | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
alongside the Afghan security forces, the police and the army, | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
where the relationship and trust with them is everything and is | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
strong. The soldiers will start a series of homecoming parades across | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
the country next week. Not before a weekend of enjoying some of the | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
comforts of being home. What have you missed? Probably freedom and | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
being able to go out and do things and not be stuck in a small camp. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
just want to go back to my bed, to be honest! | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come - film | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
stars have a different kind. Scottish astronomers make two | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
documentaries to promote their work. It is Cup semi-final weekend. We | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
are looking ahead to the big games with a man who knows all four teams | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
better than most. We will also be hearing from this man about his | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
future. That and a bit more later 100 years ago tomorrow night, the | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
Titanic struck the iceberg which would sink it and killed 1500 of | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
its passengers. Among them was John par putt -- among them was John | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Harper, a Baptist preacher from Glasgow who made an enormous | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
personal sacrifice to save another passenger. We took up the story. | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
The last interview with Titanic's last Scottish survivor. When we | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
were some distance away, there was a blaze of light. She dipped. And | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
then she went down. She was six years old, the daughter of John | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Harper, a widower and Evangelista would be invited to preach in | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
America. -- and Evangelista who had been invited to preach in America. | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
She had no impression of panic. I am sure she had no impression at | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
the time that she was not going to see her father again. There was not | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
a dramatic farewell kiss, or anything like that. It was very | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
quick and matter-of-fact. John made it his pastoral mission to support | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
those on board the sinking ship. He drifted upon a young man in the icy | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
water. He asked him, are you saved? The man, of course, replied, what | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
you mean? And he said, people even the Lord Jesus Christ, and the man | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
said know. At that point, John gave the unbeliever his life jacket, | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
saying, you need is more than me. Incredibly, that man was one of a | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
handful plucked from the sea. This weekend, a memorial to John Harper | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
will be rededicated. Only the purpose of the Lord will stand. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
life will be celebrated in a specially commissioned drama at the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Baptist Church he helped found and which now bears his name. We feel | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
that the focus should be on a man who showed his faith even the most | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
horrendous conditions. Sh during the Gospel was his passion. It is | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
certainly a memory we do not want to lose. -- shading the Gospel. | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
People like this, as they say about good men, are scarce. | :10:58. | :11:02. | |

Shetland Council is setting up a Facebook page to try to encourage | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
young people to vote in the council elections. But will it work? Using | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
Facebook might break -- might make voting more accessible. There are a | :13:00. | :13:06. | |

Royal Observatory in Edinburgh has commissioned two documentaries to | :13:41. | :13:47. | |

travel from there to hear. These films tell the story of the | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
world-class astronomy going on in Scotland. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Scottish astronomers have been involved in a variety of | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
breakthroughs. Including, for example, one of the most successful | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:29. | ||
telescopes for detecting extra soul of planets. Extra-solar. | :14:29. | :14:35. | |

trivia question for you? Can you name the current Scottish football | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
manager who has played for all the semi-finalists in the Scottish Cup? | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Celtic play harps on Sunday and Aberdeen play Hibernian tomorrow. - | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
- Celtic play Heart of Midlothian. Who would be better placed to run | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
the rule over the teams than a person who has played for them all? | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:20. | ||
I am Paul Hartley and I have played for all the semi-finalists. I | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
played for all four teams. I had success with two. Unsuccessful with | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
the other two! Both Aberdeen and Hibernian have struggled in the | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
league. This is a great opportunity for either to reach a final and a | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
European place. It will be a close game. I think Aberdeen might just | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
:16:52. | :16:57. | ||
Celtic verses Heart of Midlothian has the makings of a cracker. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Celtic are champions and their opponents have been on a very | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:18. | ||
strong run. I think Celtic might just edge it. - 2 - 1. For me, it | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
will be Aberdeen against Celtic in the final on 19th May. But what | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
colour of weapons will be on the trophy? Who knows. -- what colour | :17:28. | :17:38. | |

Next week Paul will protect the lottery numbers. Neil Lennon is | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
also looking to the future. He has reiterated his intention to sit | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
down with the Celtic board at the end of the season. But before Handy | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
is preparing for the Scottish Cup semi-final. The game has attracted | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
a celebrity Scottish -- celebrity Celtic supporter. Westlife fans | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
will not that Nicky Byrne now is the one with the blonde hear hear. | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
:18:17. | :18:18. | ||
I review my situation every season. I did so when I was a player, when | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
I was a coach, and now a manager. It is just something you do. I have | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
consistently done that for the last 10 or 12 years and I have | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
consistently been here during that time. I do not see it changing. | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
The President of the Scottish Rugby Union says that the game of sevens | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
will flourish in the next few years and nowhere more so than its | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
birthplace, Melrose. It is providing a welcome boost for the | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
Borders economy. They are going the whole hog in the Borders. Rugby | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
sevens will take over Melrose for the weekend. Young and old are | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
welcome. 15,000 people will attend. Of course, we're talking about more | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
than just a few games of rugby. This event is the biggest outdoor | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
event in the Borders. It is worth about �2 million to the local | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
economy. In these difficult economic times | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
local businesses feel the benefits. Our accommodation is full. I | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
suspect there will not be much accommodation within 15 or 20 miles | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
of Melrose. Great for all licensed traders and shop owners and the | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
town. Players come from across the world. | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
This team from Singapore have eyes on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
The Commonwealth Games rugby sevens as a world class. You're talking | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
about South Africa, England, Australia, England, Scotland. So it | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
will not be a piece of cake but hopefully we can do well. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
Since been invented by a local butcher be game of rugby sevens has | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
come a long way. So far that the world series event will be played | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
in Glasgow next month. It will then be played at the Commonwealth Games | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
and it will come an Olympic event in Brazil in 2016. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
The Americans, Chinese, Russians, they look at it as a medal | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
opportunity. If they take a game seriously than we have real | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
competition. There has even been a fresh row was | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :20:53. | ||
applied to the pitch. -- fresh rose. Everybody will be open to win the | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
:21:03. | :21:14. | ||
Thank you very much. A busy weekend We have seen quite a mixture of | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
whether this week. A fair amount of showers. That will continue into | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
the weekend. Overnight, cold and frosty. The showers have been | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
hanging around this afternoon and will gradually die out overnight. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
But we will see wintry showers across southern, Caithness, | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
:21:44. | :21:45. | ||
Aberdeenshire. Elsewhere, a dry, cold, frosty. Temperatures perhaps | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
as low as-four in some shelter of sports. We will see the best of the | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
Sun first thing in the morning. The afternoon is when we will see more | :22:00. | :22:10. | |
:22:10. | :22:10. | ||
scattered showers. Snort over higher ground in the north. -- snow. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
Temperatures around eight or nine Celsius in the south, colder | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
further north. If you're planning on heading into the mountains it | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
will be cold. Temperatures at-five at the summits. But there will be | :22:29. | :22:38. | |
some debate and sunny spells. -- bright and sunny. Winds are not too | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
bad. 25 mph in a northerly direction. The west of the country, | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
if you're heading for the water's, for so four. -- force. To the east, | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
forced five. A north-easterly direction. Moderate or rough seas. | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
