Ministers are looking at eight possible sites, | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Experts say Scotland's well-placed to host | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
a satellite launching station. Andrew Anderson reports. | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
Liftoff! Celebrations as Scotland blasted into the space race is less | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
than a week ago. The first Scottish satellite successfully entered | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Earth's orbit. UKube-1 was carried by a rocket like this, launched from | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Kazakhstan. But Scotland could soon have its own launch site. The UK | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Government is looking at eight potential locations for a spaceport, | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
and six of them are in Scotland. They include the former RAF base at | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Kinloss, now used by the army, but the runways have been retained. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Another contender is RAF Lossiemouth, also on the Murray | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Coast. The former MoD base at Machrihanish and RAF Leuchars are | :01:17. | :01:20. | |

Scotland's space industry say the country would be the ideal location | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
for a satellite launching station. When you launch a satellite into | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
orbit, there is a technical explanation, but basically, you want | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
to go north, so ideally, in the UK, Scotland is placed well. You also | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
want to see there are No people living nearby, because of something | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
goes wrong, that could be bad, so you don't want any lives in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
jeopardy. A Scottish would be the first of its kind outside of the | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
USA. An announcement is expected later this week. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |

Brownie leader Caroline McInnis. Do you have any tips on what to do with | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
this? Just don't drop it! Then the bat on took to the water in the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
glorious sunshine. This is some way to travel with the bat on. We are | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
making our way down the canal to Lochgilphead, and Willie Young is | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
the bat and error. It is an honour. I can't describe it. I was involved | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
in the 1970 Commonwealth Games of the volunteer, and that memory has | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
stuck with me all these years, and this memory will stick with me for | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
the rest of my life. It is just phenomenal. Many of his supporters | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
jogged alongside. We jogged along the canal alongside the baton, and | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
then we jogged back along next to the boat, watching Bill carrying the | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
baton. It was great. I thought it was good, and I thought it was great | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
that the Queen has let the baton come to our little town. Oh, the | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
canal for me! I don't like the wild reading see! What a day for Bill and | :04:16. | :04:19. | |

Time now for the weather for tonight and tomorrow with Judith. | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
Thank you, Alistair. Good evening to you all. It has been a pretty good | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
day. T In The Park fared well, I'm glad to say. Warm as well. This | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
evening, still some showers across eastern Scotland, which will | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
continue to die away with clearing skies. Temperatures fresher or | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
cooler than we have seen of late, which some might say is welcome. Ten | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
in towns and cities, seven or eight in rural parts. Predominantly dry | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
and bright, Miss clearing in the early parts, but not too soon, we | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
will see outbreaks of rain showing their hand across western coastal | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
areas. That rain will push inland during the course of the day, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
accompanied by a freshening southerly wind. Becoming breezy | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
everywhere. The rain pushes across the country, and it stays dry during | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
daylight hours for the eastern borders, Aberdeenshire, and indeed, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
the Northern Isles. Highs tomorrow of about 18 or 19 Celsius. I | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
pressure on Tuesday, but that clears away, leaving a lot of dry, bright | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
weather. Temperatures of 20 or 21 Celsius, and it is set to turn | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
warmer as we get a flow from Iberia. Thanks, Judith. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
And that's Reporting Scotland. Until then, from everyone | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
on the team here in Glasgow, enjoy Hello, most places are enjoying a | :05:55. | :06:12. | |
fine end to the weekend with some sunshine. You might be firing up the | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
barbecue ahead of the World Cup final but we have seen torrential | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
storms in East Anglia and they still have showers. They will ease but | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
showers in | :06:24. | :06:27. |
