For Good evening. A statue honouring those from the

:00:10.:00:14.

Black Watch regiment who fell during World War One has been unveiled in

:00:15.:00:19.

Belgium. Three hundred veterans travelled from Scotland for the

:00:20.:00:22.

event in Flanders. Andrew Anderson was with them. A flag falls, the

:00:23.:00:31.

data from 100 years ago I remembered and honoured. This memorial is yards

:00:32.:00:35.

from where soldiers of the Black Watch fought one of the bloodiest

:00:36.:00:39.

early battles of what -- of World War I. Our great uncles, our

:00:40.:00:47.

grandfathers were here. They fought and died here. From across Scotland,

:00:48.:00:55.

has since had come to remember, different generations, including the

:00:56.:00:59.

oldest. But it's a hundred Black Watch veterans who made the journey

:01:00.:01:04.

to this field, this has been a pilgrimage, an opportunity to pay

:01:05.:01:09.

honour to their fallen. A statue of a Black Watch Sgt going into battle

:01:10.:01:15.

default a fitting tribute. When you consider that 100 years hasn't meant

:01:16.:01:21.

anything here, it is sit and proper that it should be. All traffic came

:01:22.:01:26.

to a halt. Many local people were also here to pay their respects. The

:01:27.:01:31.

Black Watch is held in high regard in this part of Belgium. This is the

:01:32.:01:37.

first Scottish event to mark the start of the centenary of World War

:01:38.:01:42.

I. One century on, the death of one of the first battles will now have a

:01:43.:01:47.

lasting memorial on lands known ever since then as Black Watch corner.

:01:48.:01:54.

Bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion after a

:01:55.:01:56.

"suspicious" object was found yesterday at flats in Wishaw, North

:01:57.:01:59.

Lanarkshire. The incident is not understood to be terrorism-related.

:02:00.:02:04.

Dundee will be playing in the Scottish Premiership next season.

:02:05.:02:06.

They won the Championship trophy by beating Dunfermline. Hamilton beat

:02:07.:02:12.

Morton 10-2, but it wasn't enough. In the Premiership, Celtic defeated

:02:13.:02:15.

Aberdeen - and there's a real battle near the bottom. With five teams

:02:16.:02:19.

trying to avoid the relegation play-off, Partick Thistle

:02:20.:02:23.

leapfrogged Ross County. Now, police warn about drinking and

:02:24.:02:26.

driving, but a new campaign's begun to stop people drinking and diving.

:02:27.:02:33.

Cameron Buttle reports. The waters around here are world famous for

:02:34.:02:42.

diving. Spectacular marine life and crystal clear water. Over the summer

:02:43.:02:47.

weekend, up to 400 divers will come here, but that is growing concern

:02:48.:02:51.

about the number of them who are drinking and diving. When you're

:02:52.:02:57.

hungover and turn up to dive the next morning, you're not thinking as

:02:58.:03:02.

clearly as you wait. You need to make quick decisions when you are

:03:03.:03:08.

diving to keep yourself safe. This is a serious sport with an inherent

:03:09.:03:14.

risk. It is vital that safety rules are old. Half the lifeboat call-outs

:03:15.:03:22.

were divers in distress. I quite often see divers out on the night

:03:23.:03:27.

before, having a couple of pints with their meal. Then I see them the

:03:28.:03:32.

next day diving from seeing ads. It is important to understand that they

:03:33.:03:38.

do not take too much alcohol, you don't want it still in your system.

:03:39.:03:47.

-- St Abs. A couple from Ayrshire got a wedding day surprise when they

:03:48.:03:51.

bumped into Prince Charles at Ayr Town Hall today. Private Barry

:03:52.:03:54.

Rooney and wife Kirstie posed for photos with the Duke of Rothesay,

:03:55.:03:57.

who was in town for an army parade and offered his congratulations.

:03:58.:04:01.

Time for the weather outlook for tonight - and tomorrow. And Judith

:04:02.:04:06.

Ralston is at the map... Good evening. We will see some rain

:04:07.:04:10.

during the course of this evening and tonight but predominantly dry

:04:11.:04:16.

across the country. Some rain in the West, extending eastwards across

:04:17.:04:22.

Scotland. Closing and dampers fear tomorrow morning. Misty and murky as

:04:23.:04:34.

well, the East Coast will off drive. Drier and brighter interludes, the

:04:35.:04:42.

better weather up towards the north-east. The highest temperatures

:04:43.:04:49.

in this region as well. Temperatures possibly up to 16 or 17 Celsius.

:04:50.:04:55.

Elsewhere, around 14 degrees. Quite breezy over the Northern Isles. And

:04:56.:04:57.

that's Reporting Scotland. Our next update is tomorrow

:04:58.:05:00.

lunchtime during Sunday Politics Scotland. Until then, from everyone

:05:01.:05:03.

here, enjoy the rest of your Saturday night.

:05:04.:05:10.

Good evening. It was a cold, even frosty start to the Bank Holiday

:05:11.:05:17.

weekend but for most of us day one of three has been dry. We are going

:05:18.:05:20.

to see changes,
