So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Raising income tax in Scotland - new independent analysis suggests it | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
could reduce the impact of spending cuts. | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
Two people are injured, after a motorbike stunt goes wrong | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
during an extreme sports show in Glasgow. | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
If you come off a motorbike on a three foot ramp, there is not much | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
chance of balancing. With four people, you are guaranteed to come | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
off the side. We're live at Murrayfield on the eve | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
of the Calcutta Cup. The aim for Scotland tomorrow is to | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
kick on against England. We meet the junior club footballer, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
who walks dogs for a living and is hoping for cup glory | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
against Premiership opposition. And the veteran rockers who've | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
finally topped the charts 40 years after they released | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
their only album. Raising income tax in Scotland | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
could reduce the impact of spending cuts | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
and would weigh most That's according to | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
an independent report. Both Labour and the Lib Dems have | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
called for a tax rise in April, when new powers are | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
handed to Holyrood. But the SNP says that raising taxes | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
now would cause pain to many Hospitals, schools, rubbish bin | :01:33. | :01:50. | |
collections and road repairs, all funded from Holyrood. Together they | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
cost billions of pounds each year. Budget cuts mean they are now facing | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
a squeeze. So, should the Scottish Parliament use its powers to raising | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
contacts as a way to fill the spending gap? Labour and the Lib | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Dems say yes, it should, to protect public services. But would that be | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
fair? This proposal is progressive in the sense that it leads higher | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
income tax households to pay more tax and the majority of low in | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
contact households are not affected at all. That is largely because they | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
do not earn enough to pay tax in the first place. There shall be a | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
Scottish parliament. I like that. It is more than 15 years since power | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
was devolved to Scotland. We have had five first ministers and none of | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
them have chosen to raising contacts. For now, Nicola Sturgeon | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
is not convinced, but her main challenger is not. John Swinney is | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
proposing hundreds of millions of pounds of cuts on schools and vital | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
public services. We have a choice with the powers of our Parliament to | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
choose a different course from Tory austerity. Faced with that choice, I | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
would sooner use the powers of the parliament and pass was -- than to | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
pass austerity to the next generation. The support from the | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Federation of Small Businesses, to the Scottish trade in Congress, they | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
say we should not put up taxes because wage earners in Scotland | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
have had below inflation wage rises for a number of years and this is | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
not the time to hit them in their pocket. In the next few years, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Holyrood is set to gain more powers, to vary income tax bands and tax | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
rates. So, will some be asked to pay more? Today's report warns that if | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
in future years tax hikes are to make a big pact on public spending, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
then Scotland cannot rely on the higher rate taxpayers alone. There | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
aren't enough of them. So basic rate taxpayers would have to pay more. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Two people have been injured after a motorbike stunt at the SSE | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
It happened as the bike with four people on board tried to get | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Initially it was thought that two members of the audience had been | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
involved but later it turned out they were members of the stunt crew. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
This is a multi passenger motorbike backflip, performed by members of a | :04:13. | :04:26. | |
circus team. Last night, they attempted the same stunt in | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Glasgow's SSE Hydro arena, but it went wrong. Members of the crew | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
rushed to help, as the host explained what happened. Did you | :04:37. | :04:50. | |
have fun last night? Was it good? Two of the spectators were Stephen | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
and his son, Nixon, who captured the incident on video. Right to the top. | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
If you are going to come off a motorbike on a three foot ramp | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
yourself, there's not much chance of balancing and on. With four people, | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
you are guaranteed to go off the side. The passengers were initially | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
thought to be spectators but it is understood they were part of the | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
act. Two were taken to hospital, one with bruising and the other a broken | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
jaw, but expected to make a full recovery. In a statement, the circus | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
said it considered health and safety its top priority and has expert | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
medical staff on site in the event of an emergency. Meanwhile, the show | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
goes on. Next stop, London and the weekend. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
How this Arbroath boy who wanted to play football | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
for Scotland is having to settle for playing | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Who'll have the upper hand in Edinburgh's big | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
And can Scotland's rugby players silence these England fans? | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
We look ahead to tomorrow's Six Nations match. | :06:11. | :06:24. | |
Now the city wants to develop its position | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
It is a world-famous view and they have come from the other side of the | :06:30. | :06:43. | |
world to capture it. The number of Chinese visitors in Scotland is | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
still small but it is a lucrative market, and most want to come to the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
capital. Scotland received 33,500 Chinese visitors in 2015. Edinburgh | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
capital. Scotland received 33,500 received 29,000, so 83% of the | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
market will come to Edinburgh. The value of that, ?62 million. It is | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
things like the Royals, our history and architecture that bring Chinese | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
visitors. Top attractions, like the Royal yacht Britannia, now provide | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
audio tours in Mandarin and Cantonese. Like the building. These | :07:17. | :07:28. | |
cities are required. The Chinese community were queueing up for the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
New Year today. This will be the year of the monkey. Despite the | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Chinese economy faltering, overseas travel is booming. Last year for the | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
first time more Chinese people decided to spend holidays travelling | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
overseas man holidaying at home. There are concerns that Edinburgh | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
might not be ready enough for China. A tourism action group has been set | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
up. How about a couple of A tourism action group has been set | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
of the big things is the language. For the products, have some Chinese | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
labels. Also on the tourist guide, if they have easy | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
labels. Also on the tourist guide, tour guides and translations. With | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
the breakfast or some food, it could beat it used to our flavour. That | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
would be better. Businesses are taking this on board. In the | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
historic old town, they are investing in Chinese speaking | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
guides. In the old town, everything is very old and it has this weight | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
of history which is nice for them, I think. The lion is considered an | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
auspicious animal, which brings good luck. Perhaps that can be translated | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
into the pitch to make this a must see destination. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
A look at other stories from across the country... | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
A motorist who was caught behind the wheel more than seven times over | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
the drink-drive limit has been banned for five years | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
at Falkirk Sheriff Court and ordered to carry out 250 hours | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
48-year-old Gary Barkhouse from Bo'ness had drunk a bottle | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
and a half of vodka in an afternoon and when arrested didn't know | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Managers from British Telecom were in Skye today as a public | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
meeting was held over broadband speeds on the island. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Some businesses say the connections are so slow, they've gone back | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
to using post instead of the internet. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
There's growing pressure in the Argyll islands to break away | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Some islanders say the existing authority is too large, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
stretching from Helensburgh on the Clyde coast to islands | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
They complain that the council doesn't adequately reflect island | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
RSPB Scotland has bought a 40 acre site with a grant from the Heritage | :09:36. | :09:59. | |
Lottery Fund. The charity has been managing the site for nearly eight | :10:00. | :10:00. | |
years. Experts believe they may have caught | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
a pure-bred Scottish wildcat It's thought there may be | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
as few as 35 of them left, making them one of the world's | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
most endangered animals. The images are now being scrutinised | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
for confirmation that The largest exhibition | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
of the Queen's clothes and accessories ever shown | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
in Scotland will open at the Palace of Holyroodhouse | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
for her 90th birthday. The display, being held | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
in Edinburgh from 21 April, has been selected to cover | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
the Queen's life and reign. Feats of daring and adventure | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
in some of the world's most challenging landscapes will be | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
showcased this weekend at the annual The event aims to give an insight | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
into mountain terrains and culture and offers film makers the chance | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
to show their work It was the biggest project ever | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
undertaken at the National Theatre Three plays about three Stewart | :10:49. | :10:59. | |
kings, performed back-to-back by a Now the James Plays are back and off | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
on tour around the world. Our arts correspondent | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Pauline McLean reports. Three Stuart kings and three | :11:08. | :11:20. | |
different stories, all told across three plays. They put this heavy | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
metal crown on me and I was king. Originally performed as part of the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Edinburgh International Festival, this was the biggest project the | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
National Theatre of Scotland had ever undertaken, and one of their | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
most successful. I did not know whether we would get them up again | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
because they are such huge productions that it takes a lot of | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
resource, a lot of people and you need a lot of interest to get them | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
on the road again. And they are difficult to take on tour, a big | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
beast. We will be warriors, ruling the country like roaring lions. Ten | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
of the original cast have returned, with ten new actors. You | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
disappointed me, James. But for all of the cast, it is a rare | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
opportunity to be involved in what has been described as the theatrical | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
equivalent of a TV box set, three plays in one day. We can never go | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
back to the 1990s. It became event theatre. Particularly when you hit a | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
festival, like last time. 32,000 people saw it in 21 days, which is | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
incredible. I have not played to that many people for a very long | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
time, unless it was on camera. We have got used to watching box sets | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
on television. 45 minutes, a quick cup of tea and come back. You get | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
that with these plays. James is back, three of them, and off to see | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the world. They will tour across Scotland, England, New Zealand and | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
Australia before the year is out. It's one of the biggest nights | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
in American sport and this weekend the people of Arbroath will be | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
taking a special interest Graham Gano, one of the rising stars | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
of American football, is a kicker for the Carolina | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Panthers and he spent his early This is where they usually watch | :13:12. | :13:29. | |
their football in Arbroath, the stadium that is home to the League 2 | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
club. This is the slightly bigger stadium they will have their eyes on | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
on Sunday night when Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers in the | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
super file. The man holding the Arbroath top is the reason why. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
Panthers' kicker, Graham Gano. He lived near the town in his early | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
years. Now, along with the rest of his team, he is getting ready for | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
one of the biggest nights of his sporting life. 6000 miles away, back | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
home in Scotland, family will be watching. I am excited for my family | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
over there, and my mum in Florida, my sister, uncles, cousins and my | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
niece. It is nice to have family back home cheering for me. Arbroath | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
might have been his home for a few early years but his success in | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
American football has not gone unnoticed and there is a buzz in the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
town. There will be some bleary eyes on Monday morning because they will | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
be cheering him on. What an inspiration for youngsters in the | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
town and the rest of Angus as well. More support from Coldplay, the | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Super Bowl's half-time entertainment. Our bass player is | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Scottish so we feel a certain affinity with the Scots. I think we | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
will go Panthers. Scottish football has sent its own good luck messages. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
My dream was to play for the Scottish National Party, playing | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
football. It has changed a bit. If the Carolina Panthers win on Sunday | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
night, he says he will come back to Arbroath, where he grew up all those | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
years ago. He wants to take tea with the Provost. There might not be a | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
ticker tape parade, but he is assured of a warm welcome. | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Let's get all the sport now from David. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
On the eve of the Six Nations Championship one former Scotland | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
captain has told us he's expecting a "great performance" | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
from the national team against England tomorrow. | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Gavin Hastings believes the Scots won't be overawed - | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
something he thinks may have happened in recent meetings. | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
Let's find out more from our reporter Phil Goodlad | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
Good evening to the national stadium. The calm before the storm. | :15:37. | :15:54. | |
For Scotland, the task is to rid themselves of some unwanted records | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
of late. Only once in the last 16 years had Scotland managed an | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
opening day victory in the championship. When it comes to | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
tomorrow's opponents, Scotland haven't beaten England here at | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Murrayfield in eight long years. This marks a busy time for the | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
capital, especially when the old enemy is in town. It feels like | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
Scotland are on the rise, but they have had a few false dawns in the | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
time. Do you think Scotland will win? I do. Sorry Englishmen. There | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
is growing optimism surrounding the Scotland side and the belief that | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
better times lie ahead. Greats of the past agree. We have a talented | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
group of players. But they have got to go out and do it because they | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
only get one shot of this opening match against England at | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Murrayfield. The last couple of times we have played England appear, | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
we have failed to turn up. I don't expect that to happen. I just expect | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
Scotland can go out and produce a great performance. Beware the | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
English backlash. After the World Cup, changes have been made. I have | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
watched countless episodes of The Games. I have had to do a bit of | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
catch-up work because of the fact they have not played in a game since | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
the World Cup. The players understand the responsibility on | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Saturday. 12 months ago, Scotland lead at half-time before crumbling | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
to Twickenham defeat. Tomorrow, records are there to be broken and | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
songs to be sung. The job for Scotland is clear-cut. Win and those | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
songs for silence. I mentioned records earlier. The BBC is | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
streaming this much alive, 200 miles into space so major Tim Peake can | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
watch the Calcutta Cup clash. He sent a message to the players today | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
that said, made the best team win, come on England! Lets hope he is a | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
disappointed man up in space tomorrow. I wonder if they can see | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
your scarf from space. Continuing the big weekend | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
of sport in the capital, Hearts host Hibs in a Scottish | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Cup derby on Sunday. The home side's head coach | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
thinks their Premeirship status The Hibs manager, while entertaining | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
thoughts of a treble, insists getting the club back | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
to the premiership is his priority. The Scottish cup has pitched hearts | :18:31. | :18:44. | |
and Hibs together on many occasions, giving supporters moments they will | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
never forget. In 2012, Hibs offered this winning response, months after | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
a cup final thumping. This season the competition has restored the | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Edinburgh derby to the footballing calendar. Second in the championship | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
visiting third in the Premiership. I the Hearts head coach could be | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
significant. Last season in the championship, you play one tough | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
game and then three or four way you coast through it. But in the top | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
flight, you need to be bang on it every week. It may give us an | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
advantage, but it is a derby game every week. It may give us an | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
both play at the top of their potential, it will be a great game. | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
Hearts' new striker takes experience into the game. He is | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Hearts' new striker takes experience other new recruit. The transfer | :19:39. | :19:38. | |
window has also strengthened Hibs. other new recruit. The transfer | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Promotion is top of the wish list but they are the only club that can | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
secure the trouble. I didn't say we would win it, but while we are in | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
it, we will do our best to keep progressing. Sunday is another | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
chance to progress in the Scottish cup. We know it is going | :19:59. | :19:59. | |
chance to progress in the Scottish really difficult. Both Hearts and | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Hibs have other priorities this season, but those will offer little | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
consolation to which ever set of supporters see the dreams of cup | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
glory extinguished by the biggest rivals. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Let's stay with the Scottish Cup because | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
for the first time a junior club has made it to the last 16 of the Cup. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Linlithgow Rose are away to the team who are fourth in the Premiership - | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
The West Lothian based club have already knocked League Two Forfar | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
And I've been out and about with the man who scored the winner | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
You are probably wondering who let the dogs out? It is Kevin Kelbie. He | :20:36. | :20:50. | |
walks them professionally. Hello. Nice to meet you. This is the Park | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
here. You play for Linlithgow Rose, but this is your day job? Of course, | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
this is my job and I have done this for a little while and it has taken | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
off. It is great for the dogs and great for me. Here is Kevin | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Kelbie... This could be the goal that puts Linlithgow Rose into the | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
last 16 of the Scottish cup. His goal earning them an away tie | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
against Ross County. You are the big underdogs in this match! Of course, | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
everybody knows that. None of the players are going up to win, we are | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
underdogs. Ross County with underdogs Celtic at the weekend in | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
the League Cup. If they are at this stage of the cup as well, we will | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
wait and see what happens. No pressure on us at all. I have been | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
desperate to do this... Go for it. Fetch! Only one winner. Same as | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Saturday. No comment. No comment. You can follow all of the weekend's | :22:04. | :22:21. | |
sport on the BBC. You do know Phil's grandmother knitted that scarf you | :22:22. | :22:22. | |
are so rude about. Always thought your musical talent | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
had been sadly overlooked? A Christian heavy rock band, | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
who released just one album in the '70s, have been | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
topping the rare vinyl charts, and that's | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
led to a record deal. Aileen Clarke has | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
been to meet them. Forget the godfather of Soul, these | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
are the grandfathers of Christian rock. Meet White Light. A lack of | :22:47. | :23:01. | |
amplifier and drum kit didn't stop them giving an impromptu gig at the | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
parish church today. The only LP has been picked up by a Spanish record | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
company and remastered and rereleased. In its heyday, the band | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
made the Scottish finals of a Melody maker competition. But the recently | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
retired Kirk minister and lead guitarist, admits this was a slow | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
burner. We were astonished to discover an original LP changed | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
hands for $159 and there was an interest all over the place at these | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
figures. It became a collector's item. There are people on the | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Internet that trade these things and our band appears at the top of the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
rarity list, so that got the attention of the record company and | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
various record dealers. Improvising with the biscuit tin today was quite | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
the style jig. The very first drum I played was a quality Street tin with | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
my mother's wooden knitting needles. I can still hear the rattling of the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
quality Street tin with a spring in tied it, imitating a snare drum. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
With an average age of 64 and three quarters and only played one big | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
since the 1970s, surely there are plans for a comeback concert? No | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
particular plans to get on the stage and play again, but you never know. | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
So you are very much open to offers? Never say never. Hamdan sounds good. | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
Maybe the Armadillo, it is warmer in there. The parable of this story | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
seems to be it is worth rooting around in the attic and you can rock | :24:47. | :24:47. | |
into your retirement. Much of Scotland has been under a | :24:48. | :25:05. | |
blanket of cloud and rain today. This evening, the rain continues to | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
pull away into the North Sea. Behind it, a lot of dry weather under | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
clearing skies across eastern areas. There will be a risk of ice on | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
untreated roads and services. Further west there will be showers | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
feeding in overnight, turning wintry over the hills. Breezy conditions | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
across western coastal areas from the south. Temperatures in the towns | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
and cities holding up two to four Celsius tonight. As we head into | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
tomorrow, the risk of ice continues. The best and the brightest weather | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
is across the far north and the Northern Isles. But it turns | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
progressively cloudier and there will be outbreaks of rain. Given we | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
have a southerly airflow tomorrow afternoon, the most persistent of | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
the rain will be across the far south of Scotland. Drier interludes | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
towards Glasgow and Edinburgh. More in the way of rain across Perthshire | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
and Angus and in parts of Aberdeenshire. A few showers across | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
the North, very limited in terms of brightness and a chilly feel and | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
exposure to these risk winds. If you're going hill walking and | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
climbing tomorrow, across the more southern ranges it is a mixture of | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
rain, sleet and snow. Rising to 2000 feet in the day. Strong winds | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
leading to white out conditions and temporary blizzard conditions and | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
severe wind-chill. The best of any drier interludes will be across the | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
moor Northwestern ranges. On the inshore waters in south-west it is a | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
force for 247 with moderate to rough seas and moderate to good | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
visibility. And furthermore eastern areas, a force of five 247 with | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
moderate to good visibility. If you are heading to Murrayfield to see | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
the rugby, largely dry conditions, albeit cloudy. Temperatures of | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
around six Celsius and breezy from the south-east. Tomorrow evening, we | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
held on to cloudy skies with further outbreaks of rain and breezy | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
conditions. Into Sunday, showers or longer spells of rain with snow on | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
the hills. The best of the drier, brighter weather will be found in | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
the north-east. Chilly again and strong winds in central Scotland. | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
Until then, have a very good evening. | :27:42. | :27:45. |
