Welcome to Friday is Reporting Scotland. Tonight, a record number

:00:19.:00:25.

of drug-related deaths. Nearly 600 Scots died last year and methadone,

:00:25.:00:30.

the heroin substitute prescribed by doctors, was involved in half of

:00:30.:00:34.

them. After millions of pounds and decades of trying, we ask where

:00:35.:00:39.

these figures leave the country's drugs strategy.

:00:39.:00:43.

A jury is urged to find this man guilty of the murder of Jenny

:00:43.:00:48.

Methven but William Kean's defence says there is no evidence.

:00:48.:00:53.

Run, rabbit, run - we are on Canna, where the residents are working out

:00:53.:00:57.

how to rid their island of an infestation Bostock thank God they

:00:57.:01:03.

are not carnivorous because we would be in serious trouble.

:01:03.:01:07.

The Dundee derby is back. And after an absence of seven years there is

:01:07.:01:16.

not a ticket to be had for Sunday's clash at Tannadice.

:01:16.:01:20.

584 people died in Scotland last year as a direct result of drugs or

:01:20.:01:23.

alcohol, a big increase on the previous year. Methadone, the

:01:23.:01:31.

heroin substitute prescribed by GPs, was implicated in nearly half the

:01:31.:01:33.

deaths. Our social affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson is

:01:33.:01:37.

here with the details. Each year we report the depressing

:01:37.:01:42.

toll of Scottish drugs death. In the past two years there was hope

:01:42.:01:48.

as the number fell but now we are back to the familiar story. Figures

:01:48.:01:52.

for 2011 show that there were 584 deaths attributable to drink and

:01:52.:01:58.

drug causes. That is a record high and a rise of 20 % over the

:01:58.:02:05.

previous 12 months. It is up 76 % on the figure to 10 years ago.

:02:05.:02:11.

Number two deaths soar be prescribed heroin substitute

:02:11.:02:17.

methadone implicated. It has been the treatment of choice

:02:17.:02:24.

for Scotland's drug at -- addicts for three decades. Methadone allows

:02:24.:02:28.

users to maintain a stable life and ensures that they are in touch with

:02:28.:02:31.

medical services. GPs remain confident it is an effective

:02:31.:02:40.

treatment. They are better supervised and there is a low risk

:02:40.:02:48.

of overdose. And they require more skills and supervision and a better

:02:48.:02:55.

level of care. This man came off his programme because he said that

:02:55.:02:59.

the drug made him feel worse than heroin. He died four years ago and

:02:59.:03:03.

his father says he is concerned are public sector spending cuts mean

:03:03.:03:07.

that users are not being supported as they should be.

:03:07.:03:16.

Once they go on methadone, people are kept on it. It is as if they go

:03:16.:03:24.

out the door and there is nothing about getting them off drugs.

:03:24.:03:31.

BBC Three documentary last night, comedian Russell Brand argued with

:03:31.:03:33.

the President of the Royal College of GPs that methadone simply does

:03:33.:03:38.

not work. I would be using the methadone on

:03:38.:03:44.

top, like most of the drug addicts sino are. To say that methadone

:03:44.:03:52.

destroys their soul... It does not give them the solution they require.

:03:52.:03:56.

The Communities Minister toured a drug Recovery Centre in Edinburgh

:03:56.:04:01.

curiously free of recovering addicts. Sue said that methadone

:04:01.:04:05.

would continue to be an important part of the Government's strategy.

:04:05.:04:10.

-- she said. People need to be given options and choices for the

:04:10.:04:14.

best possible scenario for them. That will not always be methadone.

:04:14.:04:19.

We need to be able to ensure that a range of options is available and

:04:19.:04:24.

perhaps in the past that has not been the case.

:04:24.:04:28.

What other government doing to improve the situation?

:04:28.:04:32.

A couple of years ago they introduced a new strategy aimed at

:04:32.:04:37.

recovery of addicts, getting them drug-free, rather than the previous

:04:37.:04:41.

policy of maintenance on methadone, which sometimes went on for year

:04:41.:04:49.

after year. The community -- the minister was asked if she thought

:04:49.:04:54.

it was working. She said, number- one, the number of young people who

:04:54.:04:58.

appear to be taking hard drugs seems to be dropping and the number

:04:58.:05:01.

of young people dying seems to be dropping. The increase in the

:05:02.:05:06.

number of people dying overall from drug misuse appears to be

:05:06.:05:09.

attributable to older people in the Thirties and Forties and even

:05:09.:05:15.

Fifties and Sixties who have long histories of drug-taking and are

:05:15.:05:18.

finally succumbing. The prosecution in the trial of a

:05:18.:05:22.

man accused of beating an 80-year- old woman to death has urged the

:05:22.:05:27.

jury to find him guilty of the "savage and brutal murder". William

:05:27.:05:32.

Kean denies murdering Jenny Methven in February of this year in her

:05:32.:05:38.

cottage in Perth Show. -- Perth shire.

:05:38.:05:42.

William Kean is accused of murdering Jenny Methven by hitting

:05:42.:05:47.

her over the head at least 11 times with a blunt instrument at her

:05:47.:05:53.

college -- her cottage. Today the jury help -- heard closing speeches.

:05:53.:06:01.

The prosecution opened with the words of Jenny Methven's son.

:06:01.:06:06.

He was quoted as saying, she was my only living relative. 01 never be

:06:06.:06:10.

able to return to my house. When this is done and dusted everybody

:06:10.:06:16.

will move on but I will have to live with this for ever. He said

:06:16.:06:19.

that there were only two questions for the jury to consider, was Jenny

:06:19.:06:24.

Methven murdered? I suggest the answer to that would be unanimously

:06:24.:06:28.

yes. The second question is who did murder her? I will be in big --

:06:28.:06:33.

inviting you to convict Mr Kean. He said this was a savage and brutal

:06:33.:06:39.

murder and we may never know the motive. Mr Kean said he did not

:06:39.:06:42.

murder Jenny Methven but found her badly injured in the cottage and

:06:42.:06:48.

went away. The defence QC said the fact that he did not make an 999

:06:48.:06:52.

Cork after finding her is unacceptable, disgraceful, immoral

:06:52.:06:58.

and horrific but it doesn't make him a murderer. 46-year-old William

:06:58.:07:02.

Kean denies murdering Jenny Methven in her cottage in February this

:07:02.:07:06.

year. He has lodged a special defence of incrimination, blaming

:07:06.:07:13.

her son, David. The judge will do for her directions to the jury on

:07:13.:07:17.

Monday morning and they will retire to consider their verdicts.

:07:17.:07:24.

You are watching Reporting Scotland. Still to come, a -- paradise for

:07:24.:07:28.

stargazers - the Isle of Coll is bidding to become Scotland's second

:07:28.:07:33.

official Dark Sky Park. In sport, the waiting is over.

:07:33.:07:38.

After almost seven years Dundee is waiting for a Premier League derby,

:07:38.:07:43.

but how important is the City -- is the match to the city?

:07:43.:07:50.

And Neil Lennon admits huge injury concerns. Details to follow.

:07:50.:07:55.

It has emerged that an RAF rescue helicopter tried to fly at the UN

:07:55.:07:59.

World you could Adam broke to hospital but was this -- but was

:07:59.:08:05.

prevented by bad for the. -- bad weather. He was taken to Aberdeen

:08:05.:08:12.

Royal Infirmary on Wednesday. Yes, this attempt to airlift the

:08:12.:08:17.

Duke of Edinburgh to Balmoral to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary was

:08:17.:08:21.

revealed when the decision was taken on Wednesday afternoon to get

:08:21.:08:26.

him to hospital and the RAF was tasked with getting a helicopter to

:08:26.:08:29.

Balmoral but the weather conditions on Wednesday afternoon were

:08:29.:08:35.

described as horrendous. It was really quite foggy. The helicopter

:08:35.:08:39.

landed at three different points, trying to meet the ambulance

:08:39.:08:43.

between Balmoral and here but it was never close to the road for the

:08:43.:08:47.

transfer of the patient to happen so the decision was taken to

:08:47.:08:53.

discontinue -- to just continued the journey by road.

:08:53.:08:56.

What is the latest word on his condition?

:08:56.:09:00.

He is responding well to be triggered he is getting for a

:09:00.:09:04.

bladder infection. The treatment is involving a lot of antibiotics and

:09:04.:09:09.

the side-effects of that are to make be patient very tired, so the

:09:09.:09:13.

Duke has been ordered by doctors to rest. Other members of the royal

:09:13.:09:17.

family have been continuing their commitments as normal, the Queen

:09:17.:09:22.

leaving Balmoral around lunchtime, returning a couple of hours later.

:09:22.:09:25.

Because the Duke has been ordered to rest, no members of the royal

:09:25.:09:29.

family have been a visiting today but they have been keeping in touch

:09:29.:09:36.

by telephone. It looks as if the Duke will be here over the weekend.

:09:36.:09:39.

A former news editor of the Scottish news of the world has been

:09:39.:09:45.

charged with committing perjury at the trial of the former MSP Tommy

:09:45.:09:48.

Sheridan. Douglas Wight has also been charged with conspiracy to

:09:48.:09:52.

hack telephones and conspiracy to obtain personal data. Mr Wight, 39,

:09:52.:09:57.

was interviewed at Govan police station in such -- in Glasgow

:09:57.:10:01.

yesterday. Sheridan was jailed last year after being found guilty of

:10:01.:10:06.

perjury during a defamation case against the News of the World in

:10:06.:10:10.

2006. The trial of a man charged --

:10:10.:10:17.

accused of murdering a pensioner with his own car has begun.

:10:17.:10:21.

Christopher Grenfell denies killing James Simpson last year. It is

:10:21.:10:26.

claimed he tried to -- he stole the man's cover for repeatedly driving

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:40.

it over him. Water is being pumped from

:10:40.:10:43.

Aberdeen's historic Rubislaw Quarry for the first time in 40 years. The

:10:43.:10:46.

famous site is one of the biggest man-made holes in Europe. Local

:10:46.:10:48.

residents have been worried by rising water levels.

:10:48.:10:51.

We don't intend to take it too far down at the moment, we are taking

:10:51.:10:57.

it down by four or five feet at the moment.

:10:57.:11:00.

The largest secondary school on the Western Isles had to close early

:11:00.:11:03.

today after a chemical spill inside the new �55 million building. The

:11:03.:11:05.

Nicolson Institute in Stornoway on Lewis opened to pupils for the

:11:05.:11:08.

first time yesterday. Shellfish producers in the

:11:08.:11:11.

Highlands and Islands are fighting to persuade local consumers and UK

:11:11.:11:13.

supermarkets to buy their product, as the multi-million-pound eurozone

:11:13.:11:20.

shellfish market threatens to collapse. Until now, France and

:11:20.:11:22.

Spain have been the main consumers of Scottish langoustine and other

:11:22.:11:27.

shellfish. A team of tidal energy experts from

:11:27.:11:31.

Orkney are taking their expertise overseas. A team from the European

:11:31.:11:34.

Marine Energy Centre is to help South Korea develop its own tidal

:11:34.:11:39.

energy testing facility. Galloway Mountain Rescue team has

:11:39.:11:41.

taken delivery of a brand-new purpose-designed Land Rover

:11:41.:11:50.

ambulance and mobile incident unit. The team has raised �45,000 needed

:11:50.:11:55.

to replace the old vehicle and trailer they have used for 17 years.

:11:55.:11:57.

A free-form football match has taken place in the centre of

:11:57.:12:01.

Edinburgh as part of the Art Festival. It is one of a series of

:12:01.:12:05.

tours where members of the public are invited to see art and their

:12:05.:12:12.

surroundings in a new way. I am quite a big fan of not

:12:12.:12:16.

necessarily calling things art because people get pushed away from

:12:16.:12:21.

it, but if they can jump in and realise this is just a different

:12:21.:12:28.

perspective, they might see the city slightly differently.

:12:28.:12:31.

And there are more stories from your area, and all the latest news,

:12:31.:12:34.

24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

:12:34.:12:39.

The Hebridean island of Coll is bidding to join Galloway as

:12:39.:12:43.

Scotland's second official Dark Sky Park. It is thought the island's

:12:43.:12:49.

almost total lack of light pollution may make it a stargazer's

:12:49.:12:54.

paradise. Galloway's experience suggests that this kind of tourism

:12:54.:12:59.

has huge putt at -- potential that other parts of Scotland could tap

:12:59.:13:09.
:13:09.:13:10.

The views of Coll, a delight. But Ireland's believes it can be a big

:13:10.:13:13.

attraction for stargazers, which is why they are applying for her

:13:13.:13:19.

official dark sky status. We are so lucky here, we have minimal light

:13:19.:13:23.

pollution, our skies in the winter are stunning. You do not actually

:13:23.:13:28.

belies what is up there and tell you get to a place like this, where

:13:28.:13:34.

there is no interference, and you see it in all its glory. Scotland's

:13:34.:13:40.

first and so far only Dark Sky Park is established in Galloway, for

:13:40.:13:43.

environmental and economic reasons. A key aim was to boost winter

:13:43.:13:48.

tourism, something that has been achieved and more. Also getting

:13:48.:13:52.

people coming in the summertime, it is the natural time to go on

:13:52.:13:56.

holiday, coming to see meteors, as we have just had, the bed-and-

:13:56.:13:59.

breakfast people are finding they are getting questions that they

:13:59.:14:02.

never thought they would be answering, like, when do the stars

:14:02.:14:07.

come out? There is lots of little spin-offs coming out. On a clear

:14:07.:14:13.

night, the naked eye can make out the Milky Way and about 7,000 stars.

:14:13.:14:17.

But the telescope, pretty much to infinity and beyond. That is not

:14:17.:14:22.

just true in Delhi or the Isle of Coll, but in much of rural Scotland.

:14:22.:14:25.

When it comes to astronomy based tourism, the sky really is the

:14:25.:14:30.

limit. The dark sky family is growing by the world, but it would

:14:30.:14:39.

be great to see Scotland really becoming, Daks their country. --

:14:39.:14:42.

dark sky country. Children's Laureate Julia Donaldson

:14:42.:14:47.

has a busy festival season. As well as appearing in her own show at the

:14:47.:14:50.

Edinburgh International Book Festival, the opera's books have

:14:50.:14:54.

been adapted for a number of stage adaptations, including a show which

:14:54.:14:57.

is helping soldiers read their children bedtime stories. Polly

:14:57.:15:04.

MacLean reports. This is the tale of the humpback

:15:04.:15:09.

whale. It is a popular bedtime story, now turned stage play. This

:15:09.:15:12.

male underwear has a heartfelt message, even when your loved ones

:15:12.:15:17.

are travelling the world, they are still thinking about you. There are

:15:17.:15:21.

moments of sadness, but in general, it is about is fantastic and should

:15:21.:15:25.

that the father and daughter have together. -- the fantastic French

:15:25.:15:30.

have. Servicemen and women, who often have to leave their children

:15:30.:15:35.

for long periods of time. That inspired two army wives to set up a

:15:35.:15:39.

new charity. Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan for six months at a

:15:39.:15:42.

time, which is a long chunk of time for a child to be away from a

:15:42.:15:50.

parent. And what we do is to enable the soldiers to record a story for

:15:50.:15:57.

the children to listen to. scheme's profile has been raised

:15:57.:16:02.

with a show which, like the sale and there will, is to win the world.

:16:02.:16:05.

For the author of the story, June Leaute Olsen, it sends out an

:16:05.:16:10.

important message about the power of Reading. -- Julia Donaldson.

:16:10.:16:17.

is a wonderful way of just crossing Continents. Mike is about a snail

:16:17.:16:23.

and a will that travel the world, so the idea that the soldiers away

:16:23.:16:31.

in Afghanistan can communicate with people back home is great. Julia

:16:31.:16:34.

Donaldson's books are already known around the world, but thanks to

:16:34.:16:38.

this scheme, mums and dads wherever they are in the world can still

:16:38.:16:47.

read them at bedtime story. Now with the sports news, it's

:16:47.:16:56.

David Currie. There has not been Mansiz 2005, but

:16:56.:17:01.

the football fans in Dundee, the waiting is almost over. It is the

:17:01.:17:04.

city's first Premier League derby in seven years and there is not a

:17:04.:17:07.

ticket to be had. What exactly does the match mean to the clubs, the

:17:07.:17:13.

fans and the city? Chris McLoughlin reports.

:17:13.:17:16.

Here in the city of Discovery, there is something in the air,

:17:16.:17:19.

something that has been missing, avoid that is about to be filled.

:17:19.:17:29.
:17:29.:17:54.

Yes, a city divided for years by rivalry and clubs divided by a... A

:17:54.:18:00.

road. Yes, as you can see behind here, Dens Park, if you walk this

:18:00.:18:05.

way, you will see Tannadice. Very close neighbours, and these days,

:18:05.:18:10.

they have a pretty close working relationship. Dundee game SPL entry

:18:10.:18:14.

after Rangers were told to start again in Division Three. It seems

:18:14.:18:18.

Glasgow's loss is Dundee's gain. is good for the city and the clubs,

:18:18.:18:23.

and for the fans. We are looking forward to it. Hopefully it will

:18:23.:18:27.

show Scottish football in the right light. For the city, it is a major

:18:27.:18:35.

boost. There is another to at least to come after this. -- two. I hope

:18:35.:18:39.

it's the first of a series of games. As you would expect, it is all the

:18:39.:18:47.

city is talking about. 2-0, 2 United. If confident? Yes. Are you

:18:47.:18:52.

happy that the derby is back? Definitely, it is good for the city.

:18:52.:19:01.

3-2. And so, after a summer of negative headlines, you will not

:19:01.:19:05.

hear talk of a football crisis in the city. Even the local heroes are

:19:05.:19:08.

bursting with pride. Off the independent commission set

:19:08.:19:11.

up by the Premier League to examine Rangers' alleged use of dual

:19:11.:19:14.

contracts will be chaired by Lord numbers that. He chaired the

:19:14.:19:18.

Scottish FA's inquiry into Craig Whyte's takeover and running of the

:19:18.:19:24.

club. A McCoist is fighting an SF a charge of bringing the game into

:19:24.:19:28.

disrepute, it was brought because he demanded to be told coup was on

:19:28.:19:32.

a panel that imposed a transfer embargo on the club. The price

:19:32.:19:36.

paintings he did the right thing. Absolutely, I think it is very

:19:36.:19:39.

important, there was nobody standing up for the clock at all at

:19:39.:19:44.

the time. So, I just felt in the position I was in, I had no other

:19:44.:19:51.

option. I stand by it, to be honest with you. Celtic are facing

:19:51.:19:54.

something of an injury crisis for tomorrow's Premier League game

:19:54.:19:58.

against Ross country and Tuesday's Champions League play-off against

:19:58.:20:02.

Helsingborg. Up to 11 of the first- team squad to be unavailable for

:20:02.:20:07.

the Ross County match, among them Anthony Stokes, Gary Hooper and Mo

:20:07.:20:13.

Bangura. It is a huge concern, be on Tuesday as well. A game tomorrow,

:20:14.:20:17.

not looking too far ahead of ourselves. It is a game I want to

:20:17.:20:24.

win. Ross country -- Ross County have an impressive record. We

:20:24.:20:31.

started the season very well. I have three of my main strikers out

:20:31.:20:35.

and that is a concern. Andy Murray says he will play any

:20:35.:20:38.

more matters before the US Open starts in ten days'. He was knocked

:20:38.:20:42.

out of the Cincinnati Masters by Jeremy Shardy of France in straight

:20:42.:20:46.

sets. Murray will have played only three matches since the Olympics in

:20:46.:20:52.

the run-up to the last Grand Slam of the season at Flushing Meadow.

:20:52.:20:57.

That's all my offerings this evening.

:20:57.:21:01.

A plague of rats has been followed by a plague of rabbits on the

:21:01.:21:05.

Hebridean island of Canna. It is not quite all Testament proportions,

:21:05.:21:09.

but the National Trust have seen off the vermin and are now turning

:21:09.:21:13.

their attention to controlling the rabbit population. As Jackie

:21:13.:21:16.

O'Brien reports, some enterprising islanders have come up with an

:21:16.:21:23.

appetising solution to the problem. Sort's law, it was siesta time for

:21:23.:21:28.

rabbits when I made a quick island hop to Canna this week. Not one of

:21:28.:21:33.

the estimated 15,000 animals living here made an appearance, despite

:21:33.:21:37.

plenty of evidence and reports of their presence. In the evening, is

:21:37.:21:44.

it here is covered with them. It is like a moving carpet of rabbits.

:21:44.:21:50.

you are just surrounded by rabbits. Thank God they are not carnivorous!
