and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A report finds the fatal stabbing of Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
school was "potentially predictable and avoidable" | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
if students who knew the attacker was carrying a knife | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Almost a year after the tragedy, we assess the impact it's | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
And on its pupils. I remember a lot of confusion, I was in an English | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
class looking over the car park. Nobody could have predicted that | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
from a stab wound. Someone said it was a bleeding nose and then we | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
heard the sirens and about ten police cars turning up outside the | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
car park. There are now calls for a change | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
in the law to give teachers more Concerns are raised as one in ten | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
kids start primary school I'm in Slovakia where Scotland face | :00:49. | :01:06. | |
a crucial World Cup qualifier, only their third game in and there's very | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
little room for error for Gordon Strachan and his squad. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
And the trial bike rider, Danny Macaskill, has a wee | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
day out in the rolling Scottish countryside. | :01:15. | :01:29. | |
A stabbing at an Aberdeen school which led to the death of a pupil | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
was "potentially predictable and avoidable". | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne's attacker was carrying a knife but it wasn't | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
There are now calls for a change in the law to give teachers more | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
It is coming up to one years since the tragedy here at cults Academy | :01:54. | :02:05. | |
where Bailey Gwynne was stabbed by another pupil. His friends and | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
family have been remembering him during that time in their own way. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Today we got the findings of an independent report into what | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
happened that day. One child protection experts said there was no | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
way of averting the stabbing that protection experts said there was no | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
happened on that day but he does say that those who knew that the killer | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
had a history of taking knives and other weapons to school, if they had | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
reported that to staff it could have been avoided. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
October 28 last year, a day that will not be forgotten by those | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
involved, as the lunch break ends at cults Academy two boys of 16 have an | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
argument and then fight. It ends in the death of one of them. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
16-year-old Bailey Gwynne, a single stab wound to the heart ending his | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
young life. His killer no serving nine years for culpable homicide. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Today the findings of an independent report into what happened, the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
picture is painted of an exceptional argument that spiralled out of | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
control. Entirely, in my view, unpredictable, rose very rapidly | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
from an inconsequential argument that schoolboys might have every | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
day, a regular argument which suddenly became inflamed. Of events | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
on the day of the stabbing Andrew Lowe says it was an unplanned | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
spontaneous conflict that emerged rapidly. It could not have been | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
predicted or averted on the day. But he says the course of the conflict | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
was fatally altered by the possession of a knife. This was | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
potentially predictable and avoidable if those who knew Chad A, | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
the killer, carried weapons to school, had reported it to staff - | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
Child A. The possession of a weapon by one boy was known by some people | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
and if they had brought it to the attention of teachers, that may have | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
enabled the event to be avoided. All of my recommendations are around | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
making sure that in future we have a better chance of avoiding that. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
There are 21 recommendations in the report. Aberdeen City Council | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
accepts them all. I am very, very thoughtful about the impact on the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
well-being of all children at cults Academy as a result of what | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
happened, that has been my focus for the last year, incumbent upon us or | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
to be mindful and to provide the support, this will prove to be a | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
significant dramatic event in the life of a number of those children. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Bailey Gwynne's family met with the author of the report yesterday. He | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
said they showed remarkable dignity. We know from the High Court trial of | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
the killer that a number of fellow pupils had seen him in school with | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
knives and knuckle-dusters. Among the 21 recommendations there is one | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
of the Scottish Government to look at whether the law should be changed | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
to make it easier for teachers and school staff to search pupils about | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
their consent. My colleague will accept that and also how everyone at | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Cults Academy has been remembering Bailey. | :05:24. | :05:24. | |
A memorial tree for Bailey Gwynne, the Wellow, a powerful symbol of | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
recovery, something that pupils and staff here at Cults Academy working | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
on. Memories of October 28 last year still fresh. I remember a lot of | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
confusion, I was in an English class overlooking the car park, after the | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
incident there were a lot of rumours going around, as you could imagine, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
nobody could have predicted that from a stab wound, I remember | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
somebody saying it was a bleeding nose and then we heard sirens and | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
ten police cars turning up outside the car parks so when all that was | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
happening no one knew what had actually happened and there was a | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
lot of confusion. Then the devastating news that Bailey had | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
died and then the questions, had his killer brought knives to school | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
before? At his trial we heard he had but West Africa where? There was an | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
incident when he was the second year when I had to interview him, as with | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
school procedure, myself and another member of management met with him | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
and he emptied all his bags and possessions and we had a discussion | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
with him. He was well aware of the consequences and the school rule and | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
indeed the legal situation about carrying weapons and did not give us | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
any reason to think that he did not understand that. Did it happen more | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
than once? Not with us. What happened at this school is | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
thankfully very rare but the reporters calling for changes to the | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
law which would allow teachers to search pupils without consent. | :07:03. | :07:22. | |
It is being considered but some do not agree. We think it would | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
undermine the teacher- pupil relationship, undermine trust, it | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
would be almost like being a prison order and not a teacher, if | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
incidents arose it could possibly escalate them. And away from the | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
glare of publicity surrounding the report today the family and friends | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
of Bailey Gwynne are quietly finalising plans for a stained glass | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
window in his memory. The life and death of the gentle, considered | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
young man forever woven into the fabric of the school. Reporting | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Scotland, Aberdeen. Tell us about some of the other recommendations in | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
the report. Some are specific to Aberdeen City | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
Council, from now on any weapon found in an Aberdeenshire School | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
will be reported to police. Some recommendations are wider, they | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
include, whether anything more can be done to stop children or young | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
people from buying weapons online. We know that Bailey Gwynne's killer | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
bought knives and other weapons online. The queries about whether | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
this can be stopped, never mind curtailed. Police Scotland said | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
today that since this incident at Cults Academy last October 15 might | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
incidents have been reported in Aberdeen schools. The basic message | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
from today is, changes can be made, laws can be changed but ultimately | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
it comes down to getting the message across to pupils and parents that | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
the taking of weapons, including across to pupils and parents that | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
knives into schools, is just not acceptable. Thank you, Steve and | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
death, in Aberdeen. The number of murders | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
in Scotland has fallen again, according to official | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
statistics just released. In the year to the end | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
of March, 57 victims of homicide were recorded, | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
down five on the previous That's more than half | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
the figure nine years ago. Only one of those cases remained | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
unsolved. Obese children are five times more | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
likely to become obese adults. So it is a concern when a new | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
figures show that in recent years more than in ten children have | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
started primary school in Scotland are overweight or obese. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
The statistics come from Cancer Research UK | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
which is urging the the government to do more to tackle the problem. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
What colour? Mother of three Kirsty Thomas and wants to make sure that | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
her children eat healthily. She found herself four stone overweight | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
after consuming too much convenience food and sugary snacks. It was when | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
I was in soft play with my eldest son for his third birthday I sat | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
down and my jeans ripped and it is a wake up call, I was really upset and | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
could not look at myself in the middle. She now weighs a much | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
healthier limestone but that is not the case of everyone. Cancer | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Research UK says Scotland has one of the heaviest populations in Europe. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
It says over the last decade almost 83,000 children have started school | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
either overweight or obese. Now the charity wants the Scottish | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Government to take direct action by restricting the billboard | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
advertising of junk food and cutting multi-buy and sensible markets. And | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
cancer prevention specialists say action is needed right now. We know | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
overweight or obesity is linked to 13 types of cancer cell unless we | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
help those children to become healthier in the future will have | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
more overweight obese adults and that's a real worry. The Scottish | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Government says it will consider taking action where it has the power | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
to do so. We would give consideration to the multi-byte. We | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
will look at that as part of the obesity strategy going forward, | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
we've already begun to but some consideration onto that but there is | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
obviously very limited advertising powers that we have, we could do | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
things around billboards in the cinema but TV advertising, the UK | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Government needs to do that. Ministers want all parents to help | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
their children eat healthily. On that, they say there is much more to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
do. Andrew Black, Reporting Scotland. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
It's an important night for the national football team | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
and their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia in 2018. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Scotland drew 1-1 at home against Lithuania at Hampden on Saturday, | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
which meant that we dropped points. So the Scots can't afford to lose | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
away to Slovakia tonight. Our reporter Alasdair | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
Lamont is there. They can't afford to lose! The team | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
has just been announced that the game. The big news is that Darren | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Fletcher has passed a fitness test he had this morning. He will again | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
captain the side. Some changes to the line-up, Kieran Tierney at | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
left-back, James McArthur who scored the equaliser against Lithuania | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
starts and Steven Fletcher plays up front. Gordon Strachan ringing the | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
changes to some extent after dropping points against Lithuania, a | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
result that has led to some criticism of the Scotland manager. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Gordon Strachan committed himself to the jobs for this World Cup | :12:23. | :12:23. | |
campaign. Convinced that despite failing to | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
reach the university could take the team to Russia 2018. Yet after just | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
two games into qualifying questions have been asked about his desire to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
continue the task. Gordon Strachan doesn't want to be there any more as | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Scotland manager. I think his comments in the summer were | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
appalling. He said that Scotland was a nation of scared footballers! And | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
I think the impact that would have had on the players at that time, | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
they would have been totally disgruntled. Fans began to question | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
some of Gordon Strachan 's decisions but other players doing the same? I | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
think Gordon Strachan and his players have a good relationship. I | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
think what he says to the media and what he says in house will be two | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
very different things. I just think sometimes the way he portrays | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
himself in the media, at press conferences, does not India him to | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
the fans of the media but he knows that, but it doesn't endear him. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
He's been in the game long enough. That is the thing. As Scotland seek | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
to restore the positivity they meet a nation of a similar size although | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
that is when the similarities end. When it comes to footballing | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
superstars Slovakia have the experience of Marek Hamsik, Robert | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Snodgrass, arguably the top man for Scotland, doesn't have the same | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
pedigree. Slovakia made the last 16 of the Euros in the summer and 2% of | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
the 2010 World Cup. Scotland, as if anyone needed a reminder, haven't | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
been near an international competition since 1998. What are | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
Slovakia doing right? I think the good generation. Players who are now | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
in the national team almost ten years, many players started very | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
young, and another generation has kept going and qualified twice. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Perhaps these Scotland fans should not fret too much, that opponents | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
have started the campaign poorly with important players either | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
injured or excluded for indiscipline. Neither side going | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
into the match in great battle, Slovakia struggled when I saw them | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
in Slovenia on Saturday and clearly Scotland did not get the result they | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
were before against Lithuania. Both sides will have to be better tonight | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
to get the victory. Neither side can afford to lose the match. If there | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
is a loser they are already out of contention for second place in the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
World Cup qualifiers which they are looking forward to at least get a | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
play-off place in the World Cup in Russia 2018. Gordon Strachan says | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
they need a big away result. Could it come to light? Listen to BBC | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
radio Scotland's coverage, it's already started with Leah McLeod and | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Steven Thompson. Thank you very much. | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
You're watching BBC Reporting Scotland. | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
The fatal stabbing of Bailey Gwynne at an Aberdeen school | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
was "potentially predictable and avoidable", an inquiry finds. | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
We meet the great grandmother who has Alzheimers and has | :15:37. | :15:52. | |
Even though it's running six months late and hasn't been finished yet, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
the Queensferry Crossing has set a new world record. | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Officials from the Guinness Book of Records have been | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
to the bridge over the Forth and confirmed the honour. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Our reporter, Cameron Buttle, has been to see what the record is for. | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
They are incredibly proud of the record on this bridge for the | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
longest free-standing balanced structure anywhere in the world ever | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
made. Basically, it's like a massive see saw centred around that tower in | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
the centre section here of the bridge. Over here, this is the south | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
side of the bridge, but what is really quite unnerving, right here | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
on the very, very end of this section is, there is the water down | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
there. You can see how much we are moving up-and-down. When the wind | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
really picks up, it can move a meter, a meter-and-a-half. Of | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
course, the record will not stand for very long because this 230mm gap | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
will be closed. That means that the record is gone, because it's no | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
longer a free-standing structure. Right now the record-breaking centre | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
deck team can brag across the gap to their colleagues on the southern | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
deck. The record was for central tower, South Tower can't take much | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
of the plaudit for that. Very good for the team. It's great to be able | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
to talk to the guys face-to-face rather than pick up the phone or the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
radio you will a the time. Great to be so close. The bridge was meant to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
be opened by this December, delays and bad weather have meant setbacks | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
to the project. Nearly 40 days lost between June and September. The | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Scottish Government is confident it will now be finished in May next | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
year. After today there will be eight pieces of deck to come up. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
There is very important work to be done in terms of the wind shielding. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
It should mean it should never be closed for high winds as the current | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
Forth Bridge is. We have to put a structure, tarmac, on the structure | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
itself. That has to be waterproof. That will be happening at a | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
difficult time of the year. We understand that. We always said we | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
are at the mercy of the weather. The contractors are ensuring us it will | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
be finished in May next year. Potentially tough times ahead this | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
winter. Today it was about basking in the glow of being record | :18:07. | :18:08. | |

post-Brexit trade talks. One of the options suggested had | :18:43. | :18:43. | |

Joan Porter worked as a children's nurse and first invented her stories | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Half a century later, two of her stories have been published, | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
Our arts correspondent, Pauline McLean, has been to meet her. | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
This is a story can about the power of storytelling and how a good tale | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
can last a lifetime. It began when Joan Porter was a young nurse on the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
other hand a children's ward. When I was on night duty and the children, | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
you would get new children in and upset, needing their mum, I would | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
find out if they had pets or, you know, their favourite animal. I | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
would just make up a story there and then. I would say... "Now, I've only | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
told you the first chapter, if you get over to sleep, I'll tell you the | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
rest tomorrow." Joan's children, grandchildren and great | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
grandchildren have groan up with her stories. They didn't realise until | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
recently that she'd written them all down in the hope of one day | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
publishing them. It was a lady who comes in here to do storytelling, in | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
this place where mum lives, she had said to mum, these are wonderful, | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
you should really think about getting them published. She actually | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
typed up all mum's hand written stories. When I found them, mum had | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
said, "someone kindly typed up my stories." I said, this is a sign, we | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
should really do something with them. So they found a publisher and | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
although the books are for the three to seven age group they have been | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
equally important for Joan who has Alzheimer's. It helps with the sense | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
of identity. The thing that mostly people in that frame of mind they | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
miss is who they are. You know, and it helps them feel, oh, yes, I'm the | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
person who wrote this book. Since her late career as an author, Joan | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
has received many messages of support as well as requests to | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
appear at book festivals. The end. APPLAUSE | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Using a hay bale as a unicycle, pedalling over a cottage | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
and balancing on train rails - it can only be the antics of stunt | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Our reporter, John McManus, went to see what some only slightly | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
less adventurous cyclists made of his new video. | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
Danny MacAskill shot to internet fame in 2009 when he started posting | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
his bike stunts on the web. Since then he has featured in music videos | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
and promotional campaigns. That's nuts! | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
When you see something like that, I don't know how he does it. We showed | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
his latest video A Wee Day Out to these BMXors and skateboarders. Just | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
lean down, commit to it. It tells you everything you need to hear to | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
land the jump. It seems no obstacle is too big or steep for Danny | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
MacAskill. You can't ride on a house like that. The things he does on a | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
bike is something else. It's crazy. I wish I could do that, you know. | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
It's not simple though. Even professionals can be defeated by | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
gravity. The solution - pick yourself up, get back in the saddle | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
and keep trying. Ahhhh! Well as Danny MacAskill's skills the film | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
shows the Scottish countryside at its best, if not its most relaxing. | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
Now here's Graham Stewart with details of Scotland 2016. | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
Tonight, how do we deal with pupils who bring knives to school? An | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
inquiry into the death of Bailey Quinn recommended that teachers be | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
given the power to search pupils without their consent. Teachers say, | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
no, that is a matter for the police. We'll debate tonight 10.30pm on BBC | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
Two Scotland. The weather: Autoed evening to you. We have had a | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
wonderful settled spell of weather. It's this cast iron area of high | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
pressure over Scandinavia that has been responsible. We have been very | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
lucky. Things are set to slowly change as we head through the week. | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
You can see there is low pressure that will push in across France and | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Spain as we head through the week. What that will do is squeeze the | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
icer bars. You can expect things to get windier and cooler with the air | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
drawing in from the east. Eastern Scotland tonight will be cool, will | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
be breezy, cloudy with a few spots of rain. In the west lengthy clear | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
spells, particularly to the north-west highland temperatures | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
could fall not far off the freezing mark there could be a touch of | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
frost. More typically seven or eight Celsius. Western Scotland will start | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
off well. Chilly to the north-west, cloudier skies in the east with rain | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
or drizzle. As we head through the afternoon more cloud pushing in | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
across Dumfries and Galloway. Sunshine still for Argyll in towards | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
North Argyll and the west highlands. Temperatures feeling better away | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
from the easterly wind across the western isles and the north-west | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
good sunny spells. The northern isles are close to the high it is | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
settled here. Cloud into the Grampian area, rain running into the | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
Cairngorms. It will feel cool in the wind as it picks up. In towards the | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
evening time very little changes. We hold on to cloudier skies for the | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
south, for the east with a few spots of rain. Across western areas we | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
will hold on to clearer skies with lighter winds. As we head in towards | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Thursday during the course of the day we will see the rain becoming | :27:07. | :27:19. | |
more persistent to eastern Scotland. It will be cooler and windier. | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
That's the forecast. Military Now, a reminder of tonight's | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
Military main news. A stabbing at an Aberdeen school | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
