So it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:00.:00:10.

with the closure of a sink manufacturing plant in Falkirk.

:00:11.:00:17.

The majority of people have spent their lives here. Many people, it is

:00:18.:00:23.

all they know. Also on the programme,

:00:24.:00:28.

organisers of a peace campaign following the death of shopkeeper

:00:29.:00:30.

Asad Shah say they're disappointed Glasgow's Central Mosque

:00:31.:00:32.

didn't take part. Parents in Edinburgh call

:00:33.:00:34.

for an independent inquiry into the school buildings

:00:35.:00:36.

crisis that's turned Ronny Deila appears to be

:00:37.:00:37.

safe until the summer, despite Celtic's Scottish Cup

:00:38.:00:44.

defeat to Rangers. And some of the biggest names

:00:45.:00:47.

in show business pay their respects One of Scotland's oldest

:00:48.:00:50.

industrial sites is to close The Swiss owners of the Carron

:00:51.:01:11.

Phoenix sink factory in Falkirk are moving production to Slovakia,

:01:12.:01:18.

leaving only a handful The Scottish TUC described the move

:01:19.:01:21.

as another huge setback Our reporter Andrew Anderson

:01:22.:01:26.

has the story. News that this factory is the close

:01:27.:01:38.

was broken to the workforce earlier today, and I am told it came as a

:01:39.:01:42.

bolt from the blue. In recent years, Carron Phoenix has manufactured

:01:43.:01:46.

sinks here, but this factory has a history going back more than 250

:01:47.:01:50.

years, when it was established as an iron foundry. Cannons that were

:01:51.:01:55.

fired at Trafalgar and Waterloo are just part of the history at the

:01:56.:02:01.

current company in Falkirk. Since 1759, the narration is of workers

:02:02.:02:05.

also turned out iron baths, flat irons and Britain's famous red

:02:06.:02:10.

telephone boxes. At its height, the factory employed 5000 people. It

:02:11.:02:14.

even operated its own fleet of steamships. In recent years, granite

:02:15.:02:19.

sinks have been produced on this sprawling site. No longer, it seems.

:02:20.:02:24.

The work will be transferred to a factory in Slovakia. The majority of

:02:25.:02:28.

people have spent all their lives here. As Father, son, daughter. A

:02:29.:02:35.

lot of people, that is all they know, production in there. Be

:02:36.:02:39.

Swiss-based group which owns Carron Phoenix plan to carry out a phased

:02:40.:02:43.

closure in the next 18 to 20 months. In a statement, the company said:

:02:44.:03:01.

the company says its decision has not been taken lightly, but it faces

:03:02.:03:07.

tough competition from around the world.

:03:08.:03:10.

It is a decision, though, that will bring to an end 250 years of his

:03:11.:03:14.

dreams here in Falkirk and leave more than 200 people looking for new

:03:15.:03:19.

jobs -- it will bring to an end 250 years of history.

:03:20.:03:21.

I'm joined by our business and economy editor Douglas Fraser.

:03:22.:03:24.

Douglas, 200 people's jobs going at the Carron works -

:03:25.:03:30.

But the resource or a big significant in the closure of this

:03:31.:03:36.

plant? This was arguably the country that was most important of the

:03:37.:03:39.

Industrial Revolution, if you go back 250 years. And it remained

:03:40.:03:46.

important. The cannons it made were important to securing British sea

:03:47.:03:50.

power. It was used by Wellington and Nelson and by merchants, and became

:03:51.:03:54.

important for household goods across Scotland. It was held by having

:03:55.:03:58.

quick access to coal and iron ore, water power. It developed steam

:03:59.:04:03.

power on a big scale and integrated it all in a way that is now

:04:04.:04:07.

commonplace but was then revolutionary, at the start of the

:04:08.:04:10.

Industrial Revolution. But it lacked investment right away through into

:04:11.:04:14.

the 20th century, and that is the story for a lot of Scottish

:04:15.:04:17.

manufacturing in the heavy industries, which reverberates to

:04:18.:04:21.

the present-day, a lack of investment. They could have invested

:04:22.:04:25.

more money, but it was not a sustainable case for it. That is

:04:26.:04:29.

why, with a bit of leverage around the election just now, you get the

:04:30.:04:33.

unions saying this is the time to focus on the new factoring as an

:04:34.:04:36.

area we are struggling with in Scotland.

:04:37.:04:38.

As we heard, the Scottish TUC described the closure

:04:39.:04:41.

of Carron-Phoenix as another blow to manufacturing here and urged

:04:42.:04:44.

the political parties fighting the Holyrood elections

:04:45.:04:46.

The congress also called on all the parties to raise their game,

:04:47.:04:50.

But the party leaders insist their programmes

:04:51.:04:56.

will resonate with all of Scotland, including union members.

:04:57.:04:58.

From Dundee, here's our political editor Brian Taylor.

:04:59.:05:08.

The trade unions gave birth to the Labour Party with an occasional

:05:09.:05:17.

Communist bloodline, but Scottish industry has changed and so has

:05:18.:05:20.

Scottish politics. Still, history has its place. The S TUC reckons

:05:21.:05:24.

Labour's founder would be unimpressed with the offering from

:05:25.:05:28.

any party in this election. He would think it was disappointing. He would

:05:29.:05:35.

be asking for more and calling on politicians to raise their game, to

:05:36.:05:40.

be ambitious for Scotland. First up at the Congress, Labour's Kezia

:05:41.:05:44.

Dugdale, deftly avoiding the SNP stand, a reminder that many union

:05:45.:05:48.

members have turned away from her party. She promised a new body,

:05:49.:05:51.

members have turned away from her skills Scotland, to promote both

:05:52.:05:54.

jobs and training with a key role for the unions. And higher taxation

:05:55.:06:00.

to back that up with spending. We choose to build an economy on higher

:06:01.:06:04.

skills, higher wages and higher productivity. There is no future in

:06:05.:06:11.

low wages and low skills. Investing in education and skills is not a

:06:12.:06:15.

social expense, it is an economic investment. Starting young, Nicola

:06:16.:06:23.

Sturgeon in Glasgow, promoting her party's plans to help families,

:06:24.:06:28.

including a baby box with the early essentials. She will address the

:06:29.:06:32.

STUC tomorrow, and says her party is more than ready to engaged with

:06:33.:06:36.

trade unions. I look forward to speaking to the STUC tomorrow and

:06:37.:06:41.

outlining the plans of a re-elected SNP government if we win the

:06:42.:06:43.

election work without trade unions to oppose Tories' anti-trade union

:06:44.:06:51.

Bill, but also to support the living wage and make sure we have the

:06:52.:06:56.

working practices. Ruth Davidson was touring here, symbolic of Scottish

:06:57.:07:00.

economic potential. She said touring here, symbolic of Scottish

:07:01.:07:04.

Labour's thinking was puzzling. The Labour Party is confused at the

:07:05.:07:09.

moment. It says it wants to help businesses by combining agencies

:07:10.:07:12.

that the former First Minister said they should split up in the first

:07:13.:07:15.

place. They also say they want to make Scotland the highest tax power

:07:16.:07:20.

of the UK, which we know were deterred the sort of jobs and

:07:21.:07:23.

investments that all the businesses in Scotland say we need. For the

:07:24.:07:28.

Liberal Democrats, Willie Rennie spotlighted challenges to the rural

:07:29.:07:32.

economy. He said the Labour offer on skills Scotland missed the point. I

:07:33.:07:37.

think organisational change is a distraction. There is a real

:07:38.:07:40.

challenge for the next five years, the investing education. Back at

:07:41.:07:46.

Congress in Dundee, they persuade and cajole. The debate and discuss.

:07:47.:07:52.

But it is the voters as a whole across Scotland who will settle this

:07:53.:07:53.

election. And Brian joins me now

:07:54.:07:55.

from the City Square in Dundee. Brian, will that criticism

:07:56.:07:58.

from the unions have any I think it will. It was delivered by

:07:59.:08:11.

Graeme Smith in a comradely fashion and I'm sure it will be accepted in

:08:12.:08:15.

that fashion, although all the political parties have to ensure the

:08:16.:08:17.

message is sufficiently broad to appeal to the whole of Scotland and

:08:18.:08:22.

not just those members gathered in the STUC Congress behind me.

:08:23.:08:28.

Tonight, the controversy from this, the focus has become more narrow.

:08:29.:08:32.

The trade union Bill at Westminster goes back to the House of Lords

:08:33.:08:35.

tomorrow and the STUC say they welcome the comments by Labour on

:08:36.:08:38.

this and they welcome the comments from all the parties other than the

:08:39.:08:43.

Conservatives opposing that trade union Bill. I gather that Nicola

:08:44.:08:46.

Sturgeon, when she addresses Congress tomorrow, we'll make that a

:08:47.:08:48.

key plank of her remarks. Scotland's Ahmadi Muslim

:08:49.:08:52.

community has launched a campaign promoting "peace,

:08:53.:08:54.

love and unity" following the death of Glasgow shop keeper Asad Shah,

:08:55.:08:56.

who was attacked outside his But organisers say they're

:08:57.:08:59.

disappointed that no members Standing against extremism. Members

:09:00.:09:16.

of various faith and community groups came together in task to lend

:09:17.:09:19.

their support to new advertising campaign being launched by the

:09:20.:09:24.

Ahmadi Muslim community. The message will be seen on 50 buses throughout

:09:25.:09:28.

Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee. Those backing this campaign are keen to

:09:29.:09:33.

promote peace, love and unity, but they are only too aware that comes

:09:34.:09:38.

against a backdrop of extremism not just on the world but dangerously

:09:39.:09:42.

close to home. Past month, 40-year-old Asad Shah was killed at

:09:43.:09:46.

his Glasgow shop in an attack described by police as religiously

:09:47.:09:50.

prejudiced. The man charged with his murder, a Bradford taxi driver,

:09:51.:09:55.

Tanveer Ahmed, was condemned after he released a statement claiming he

:09:56.:09:58.

had carried out the killing because he believed Mr Shah had disrespected

:09:59.:10:05.

Islam. The Ahmadi are regarded by orthodox Muslims as heretics, but

:10:06.:10:12.

immediately after Mr Shah's deaths, Ahmadi, Sunni Muslims and Pakistani

:10:13.:10:15.

Christians put their differences aside. Add the bay's event, however,

:10:16.:10:19.

members of Glasgow Central Mosque and attend despite being invited,

:10:20.:10:24.

and Ahmadi leaders say they are disappointed. By not coming here

:10:25.:10:29.

today, they are giving signals to the extremists that they are with

:10:30.:10:35.

them, not with us. Glasgow Central Mosque's president told me he

:10:36.:10:39.

couldn't attend due to a prior commitment, but he denied he was

:10:40.:10:43.

sending out the wrong message by not joining the Ahmadi. It is nice that

:10:44.:10:50.

they are joining now. We have always had a big responsibility and we have

:10:51.:10:55.

always glad that we are against extremism and against all the other

:10:56.:11:02.

things we are not allowed as a good Muslim or a good citizen. Is part of

:11:03.:11:05.

the problem that you do not consider them proper muslins? Well, actually,

:11:06.:11:18.

they are Ahmadis. They do not follow Muhammad. The difference is clear.

:11:19.:11:23.

That Shah's popularity in the community was evident among the

:11:24.:11:25.

That Shah's popularity in the floral tributes that were laid. It

:11:26.:11:29.

is hoped the day's campaign against extremism will offer some kind of

:11:30.:11:30.

lasting legacy. Parents in Edinburgh are calling

:11:31.:11:32.

for an independent inquiry into the temporary closure of 17

:11:33.:11:35.

schools in the city. They want answers to why faults

:11:36.:11:38.

were found in the buildings, which were only constructed

:11:39.:11:40.

about ten years ago. Meanwhile, it's been claimed

:11:41.:11:42.

children could lose many more days of classroom time because they'll

:11:43.:11:44.

have to travel to different schools. It was always supposed to be a

:11:45.:11:57.

holiday in Edinburgh today, but some of the kids enjoying the morning

:11:58.:12:00.

sunshine have been off school for almost a month. Tomorrow, they will

:12:01.:12:03.

be back in class, but dispersed across the city. They are not happy,

:12:04.:12:10.

because they like to be at their own school. But it seems to be something

:12:11.:12:13.

that will go on for weeks, maybe months. My son has been sent to St

:12:14.:12:19.

John's in Portobello, 50 minutes away from here. It is not

:12:20.:12:25.

convenient. The pupils at the royal high school will consider themselves

:12:26.:12:29.

lucky. All will remain on campus. Even this afternoon, work is at a

:12:30.:12:34.

pace to convert Portakabins into classrooms and there are no

:12:35.:12:37.

guarantees on how long this temporary fix were have to last. On

:12:38.:12:42.

the other side of town, Tess is a third-year student at Craig Mackay.

:12:43.:12:46.

From Wednesday, a coach will take her and her fellow pupils to another

:12:47.:12:49.

school some distance away. Among Inzamam parents who want an

:12:50.:12:55.

independent -- her mum is among parents who want an independent

:12:56.:12:58.

inquiry. I don't want to see any more spinning from politicians

:12:59.:13:01.

around an issue that has impacted on the life and education of our

:13:02.:13:07.

children. The main thing is to investigate what has happened,

:13:08.:13:12.

children. The main thing is to independently and transparently, and

:13:13.:13:15.

also give us an idea of what went wrong so that we can learn from that

:13:16.:13:20.

and it doesn't happen again. Work continues at the affected schools.

:13:21.:13:24.

The council says it should have a clearer picture of the problems in a

:13:25.:13:29.

few weeks' time. By the end of this week, I aim to communicate to

:13:30.:13:32.

parents how long the temporary arrangements will be required for.

:13:33.:13:38.

Last week, we called for an update to the council on the 17th of May,

:13:39.:13:43.

and that will look at answering the questions that everybody wants

:13:44.:13:49.

answers to about how this happened. Meantime, many senior pupils will

:13:50.:13:53.

have to make their own travel plans. Some schools have been giving free

:13:54.:13:57.

bus to give the senior pupils to help them make the journey across

:13:58.:14:01.

town. Tomorrow morning, Lothian buses will put extra buses on

:14:02.:14:04.

stand-by in the morning and afternoon. The final pieces of this

:14:05.:14:08.

huge adjuster coppers are being lowered into place for the return to

:14:09.:14:12.

school tomorrow, but with more questions than answers, there are

:14:13.:14:15.

still much up in the air -- the final pieces of this logistical

:14:16.:14:17.

puzzle. A look at other stories

:14:18.:14:18.

from across the country now. Police in Edinburgh are appealing

:14:19.:14:20.

for witnesses after an 85-year-old woman was killed by a bin lorry

:14:21.:14:23.

on Sunday morning. The police want to speak

:14:24.:14:26.

to a pedestrian who crossed Morningside Road just before

:14:27.:14:28.

the crash and to a man standing on the pavement outside

:14:29.:14:31.

a nearby chip shop. Nearly 300 jobs are set to go

:14:32.:14:34.

in Aberdeen and London at the oil It's not clear how many

:14:35.:14:37.

of the 280 jobs under threat Aker says it's taking the action

:14:38.:14:45.

in a bid to stay competitive during a challenging time

:14:46.:14:49.

for the oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, up to 21 redundancies

:14:50.:14:51.

are expected at Edrington, the largest Scottish-based

:14:52.:14:57.

whisky distiller. The company is closing

:14:58.:14:59.

its Perth office and moving Edrington's main whisky

:15:00.:15:01.

brands are Famous Grouse, The runway at Wick John O'Groats

:15:02.:15:06.

Airport is to be upgraded to allow planes carrying nuclear materials

:15:07.:15:13.

to take off and land there. The move follows a deal that

:15:14.:15:16.

will see enriched uranium transported from Dounreay

:15:17.:15:19.

to the United States. The Nuclear Decommissioning

:15:20.:15:22.

Authority says no final decision has been taken on the preferred method

:15:23.:15:25.

of transporting the waste, and the airport extension is just

:15:26.:15:29.

one possible option. Nearly a quarter of Scottish workers

:15:30.:15:34.

say they wouldn't discuss a mental health issue at work

:15:35.:15:37.

because they fear the reaction That's according to a survey

:15:38.:15:42.

commissioned by See Me, a government programme to combat

:15:43.:15:49.

mental health discrimination. According to official figures,

:15:50.:15:51.

640,000 working days were lost to depression last year,

:15:52.:15:53.

costing the economy Celtic have no plans to sack

:15:54.:15:55.

Ronny Deila until the end Fans have been calling

:15:56.:16:07.

for the Norwegian to go following yesterday's Scottish Cup

:16:08.:16:13.

defeat to Rangers at Hampden. But BBC Scotland understands

:16:14.:16:15.

he will be given the chance to lead the club their fifth

:16:16.:16:18.

consecutive title. Here's our senior Football Reporter,

:16:19.:16:19.

Chris McLaughlin. History stood in defiance of a

:16:20.:16:37.

present defeat A reminder of what is expected. Defeat to Rangers

:16:38.:16:42.

yesterday was unexpected. But it is the manner of capitulation that fans

:16:43.:16:47.

find hard to forgive. Both in equal measure, no one wanted to lose the

:16:48.:16:55.

cup game, but we deserved to lose and that was disappointing. Deila

:16:56.:17:00.

has had a rollercoaster relationship with the fans, but have we seen the

:17:01.:17:11.

last Ronny roar? The cups are gone the league is left. Will that be

:17:12.:17:17.

enough? I don't know. But how much responsibility a at the feet of the

:17:18.:17:22.

players. I think the pressure will come on all of us now and

:17:23.:17:27.

collectively we are going to have to deal with that. And everybody has to

:17:28.:17:32.

step up and take responsibility and move forward. So with the majority

:17:33.:17:38.

of the Celtic fans looking for the manager to be sacked, the board here

:17:39.:17:43.

at Celtic are looking to batten down the hatches and hope he can deliver

:17:44.:17:47.

another league title. It is a stay of execution though, rather than a

:17:48.:17:56.

vote of confidence. Deila's days may be numbers but there will be no

:17:57.:17:58.

departure for now. The Rangers chairman Dave King

:17:59.:18:00.

admits he shed tears as Rangers beat Celtic to reach the Scottish Cup

:18:01.:18:03.

Final. King also says Rangers transfer

:18:04.:18:04.

policy might alter should they win Meanwhile a former player believes

:18:05.:18:07.

the Ibrox club can challenge Celtic for the Premiership title next

:18:08.:18:11.

season, IF the board back An out pouring of emotion as Rangers

:18:12.:18:32.

reached the Cup Final. It reduced the chairman to tears, Dave King

:18:33.:18:35.

saying it was astonishing. Holiday's ball in. Deflected off

:18:36.:18:50.

Brown and Miller scores! Twice Rangers had the lead. Penalties

:18:51.:18:55.

eventually required to beat Celtic on the day. King said there might be

:18:56.:19:02.

a need to rethink the transfer policy should the club qualify for

:19:03.:19:06.

a need to rethink the transfer Europe. Rangers' financial traumas

:19:07.:19:09.

are still fresh in the mind, but they are likely to strengthen their

:19:10.:19:15.

squad if the summer and one former star said they must back the manager

:19:16.:19:19.

with cash. I think Rangers could be a force next season, but I think

:19:20.:19:24.

that will be down to the board and maybe a guy called Dave King, if he

:19:25.:19:30.

can produce the funds, I think we can challenge Celtic. A former

:19:31.:19:34.

Rangers manager is urging caution over talk of a tilt at the title.

:19:35.:19:37.

Rangers manager is urging caution Maybe a bit earlier. Celtic will

:19:38.:19:42.

look at their side of it and look to strengthen. Rangers will strengthen

:19:43.:19:49.

and Hearts and Aberdeen. It will be a fantastic Premier League next

:19:50.:19:55.

season. Now Cup Final fever for Rangers and Hibs. They meet in the

:19:56.:19:59.

league on Wednesday. A rehearsal for the Scottish Cup Final on 21st May.

:20:00.:20:04.

There could be a very Scottish feel to the British Olympic 4 times

:20:05.:20:07.

Great excitement at the British Champs as Scots Stephen Milne,

:20:08.:20:11.

Robbie Renwick and Duncan Scott finished second, third and fourth

:20:12.:20:14.

That should be enough to secure their places

:20:15.:20:20.

for Rio in the relay, with James Guy of England.

:20:21.:20:22.

The Olympic swimming team will be named on Thursday.

:20:23.:20:26.

Edinburgh born Micky Yule hasn't ruled out winning a medal at this

:20:27.:20:32.

summer's Paralympics in Rio, saying he's waiting to pounce if more

:20:33.:20:35.

Yule, who six years ago lost both his legs

:20:36.:20:38.

while serving in Afghanistan, has been named in the GB

:20:39.:20:40.

Two years ago he finished 4th at the Commonwealth Games

:20:41.:20:44.

in Glasgow and he says that experience has set up well

Not such a good day for the former world snooker Champion Graeme Dott.

:20:47.:20:57.

Ten years after winning the title, today he suffered a first round exit

:20:58.:21:00.

from this years event at the Crucible.

:21:01.:21:02.

Meanwhile 4 time winner John Higgins resumes his first

Some of the biggest names from the entertainment world have

:21:09.:21:22.

paid their respects at the funeral of Ronnie Corbett.

:21:23.:21:24.

The Edinburgh-born entertainer died last month aged 85 having been

:21:25.:21:26.

diagnosed with a suspected form of motor neurone disease.

:21:27.:21:28.

Famous faces of stage and screen turned out to remember Ronnie

:21:29.:21:42.

Corbett at a church near his South London home. Becoming his friend was

:21:43.:21:47.

one of best things that's happened in my career. I never thought I

:21:48.:21:52.

would. He was always interested. He would say, see me on something and

:21:53.:21:58.

be encouraging. A great man. Should have had a knighthood. That is the

:21:59.:22:03.

legacy I think. For the entertainment he has given for 50

:22:04.:22:10.

years. They were wonderful today. What a great comedian. Shattering,

:22:11.:22:19.

but there we are. I can't think of him without smiling. It is a long

:22:20.:22:23.

time. I'm here to tip my hat to him. But it wasn't just the well known

:22:24.:22:28.

who paid tribute. Members of local community wanted to remember the man

:22:29.:22:32.

they regarded as a local hero. He was part of our community. We used

:22:33.:22:36.

to see him around in his Rolls-Royce. Been watching him for

:22:37.:22:41.

years and I have seen his wife a few times. We used to go to same fish

:22:42.:22:47.

shop. She got his fish and chips there. We saw him at the petrol

:22:48.:22:52.

station, he would stop and chat and make jokes. I will miss him.

:22:53.:23:03.

Edinburgh-born Corbett was regarded as a comedy hero. He was best known

:23:04.:23:18.

for his partnership with Ron ny Barker. But retirement wasn't an

:23:19.:23:34.

option. He performed with his wife Ann. Despite the sombre tone today,

:23:35.:23:39.

it was a time to remember someone who made people laugh for many years

:23:40.:23:43.

and probably will for many more to come.

:23:44.:23:49.

Now here's Andrew Kerr, with details of Scotland 2016.

:23:50.:23:56.

As election leaflets pop through your letterbox, the parties are

:23:57.:24:04.

asking for both your votes. Which is the best way to work the list

:24:05.:24:09.

system? And people who have been stalked are raising awareness of

:24:10.:24:13.

their situation. We will speak to one victim at 10.30 on BBC Two.

:24:14.:24:16.

Let's get the weather now from Christopher.

:24:17.:24:21.

Well it was a breezy day. Fairly bright. As we head through the night

:24:22.:24:34.

the winds will ease. Still strong for the Northern Isles, but easing

:24:35.:24:39.

here. Elsewhere dry with some clear spells. Temperatures for most around

:24:40.:24:43.

two to four Celsius. But a touch of frost potentially through a few of

:24:44.:24:47.

the sheltered glens of the north-east. As we head into

:24:48.:24:53.

tomorrow, high pressure builds and stays us with, Tuesday, Wednesday

:24:54.:24:58.

and Thursday. So a lot of dry, settled and sunny weather. Tomorrow

:24:59.:25:03.

morning, it will be a chilly, but dry start. Plenty of sunshine and

:25:04.:25:07.

the cloud will build through the day. By mid afternoon, with winds

:25:08.:25:13.

much lighter, although the temperatures are the same, it should

:25:14.:25:17.

feel better, it should feel warmer. The cloud will have increased

:25:18.:25:21.

compared with the morning, but it will be a bright day. The chance of

:25:22.:25:26.

the odd isolated shower for the Western Isles. For most dry and the

:25:27.:25:31.

winds lighter, particularly in Orkney and Shetland, very windily

:25:32.:25:35.

there today. But much lighter tomorrow. But it will be cool

:25:36.:25:40.

compared with the mainland. The rest of the afternoon, staying dry with

:25:41.:25:44.

some sunshine to end the day and clear skies over night. As we head

:25:45.:25:48.

to the middle of week on Wednesday, high pressure us with, but a front

:25:49.:25:53.

sneaking into the north-west bringing thicker cloud and some

:25:54.:25:57.

rain. For most another dry and settled day. Here is the detail for

:25:58.:26:05.

Wednesday. Best of the sunshine in the central and western parts.

:26:06.:26:11.

Temperatures eleven to 13 Celsius. The front sinks south on Thursday

:26:12.:26:14.

so, cloudier with some rain in the north-west and the Northern Isles.

:26:15.:26:19.

Again highs of eleven or 13. Cooler by Friday. Thank you.
