Welcome to Reporting Scotland. Tonight on your national news. Two | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
coastguard stations are saved, but two others will be shut down. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Campaigners in Shetland and Stornoway celebrate after the UK | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
government rethinks its plans to overhaul the service. But bases on | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
the Clyde and Forth will be closed by 2015. We're live in Gourock with | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
reaction. Also coming up tonight: The new surgical technique which | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
:00:44. | :00:48. | ||
could spell the end for the stookie. It's the talk of the town. Find out | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
what's getting tongues wagging in the capital. And we'll have the | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
:01:01. | :01:02. | ||
latest on how the Scots are faring as they tee off at the Open. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
Coastguard stations in Shetland and Stornoway have been saved from | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
closure but stations on the Clyde and Forth are to close in line with | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
the original Government proposals. This is what Scotland's coastguard | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
cover looks like at the moment. Aberdeen was proposed to be kept as | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
the only 24 hour station. Now Shetland, Stornoway and Aberdeen | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
will be kept as 24 hour facilities. The new coastguard map of Scotland | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
will look like this. This man probably owes his lives -- his life | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
to the coastguard in Shetland. When his boat grounded on the rocks the | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
helicopter was quickly on the scene. Water was already covering the deck, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
the crew had to hold on to stop them slipping into the sea. One by | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
one they were airlifted to safety. Became an save their lives. In a | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
controversial plans by the coalition Government to have | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
Aberdeen as Scotland's or only 24 hour station have been abandoned. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
In the Scottish islands and between the islands and the Scottish | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
mainland we have decided to retain coastguard centres in boss | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
Stornoway and Shetland. It is a victory for campaigners from both | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
communities who jointly fought to keep them open. In Stornoway | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
islanders marched through the streets in protest. We are | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
delighted by these new proposals. This is what we campaigned for her. | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
While there are real celebrations here in the north of Scotland, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
there is bitter disappointment in the south. Off Clyde Danforth | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
coastguard stations are to close. Clyde is Scotland's busiest rescue | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
centre. In future rescues there might be dealt with by coastguards | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
from across the Irish Sea in Belfast. Scotland has a unique | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
topography. Its islands and sea lochs makes communications | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
difficult. Local knowledge is paramount. For this Shetland | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
skipper it is a comfort to to know that local coastguards and local | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
knowledge will be there on call if he needs them again. So, a relief | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
in Shetland and Stornoway but let's go now to do it, home of the Clyde | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
coastguard which did not win a reprieve. How are they taking it | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
:04:12. | :04:18. | ||
there? Lorna, do you hear me? shop in the community here on the | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Clyde. They had been hoping against talk that perhaps they would get a | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
:04:34. | :04:36. | ||
reprieve as well but it was not to be. Sorry, Lorna, we will try to | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
get back to you later. We are having problems with that link to | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
law now endure it. Let's move on. Scotland's transport infrastructure | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
is holding back the tourism industry according to tourism | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
leaders. Visitors are still finding it too difficult to get to where | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:12. | ||
they want to be. Our reporter is on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Edinburgh and Glasgow have got Provan pulling power when it comes | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
to attracting visitors. It is spreading the was tourists out | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
across the rest of the country is what to do his bosses say needs to | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
be addressed. Over the last week Scotland has hosted events which | :05:32. | :05:42. | |
have attracted hundreds of thousands of people. The big events | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
have all contributed to an increase in the number of visitors and | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
rising optimism in the tourism sector of the last three months. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Best bus company in Edinburgh takes tourists are all of which the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
country fills up thank you very much Bill's dog it was a pleasure | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
:06:09. | :06:14. | ||
meeting year. We have enjoyed many places. We have enjoyed several | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
good years in a row or and this one is shaping up to be another good | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
one. The suspicion is that in the future that growth will not be | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
sustainable if there is not the infrastructure in place. That is a | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
concern shared by many tourism businesses. It is clear that the | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Scottish Executive and Scottish Government over the years have done | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
very well in terms of investment. We need to continue to prioritise | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
investment if we are to make sure Scotland gets the best deal. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Business leaders have identified a list of routes they would like to | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
:07:01. | :07:08. | ||
At a cost of �1.5 billion for the Forth crossing the danger is money | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
:07:18. | :07:22. | ||
for other transport projects will The wishes of the tourism industry | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
will be added to all the other demands on a shrinking pot of money. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Now never mind the extra money needed to improve our road, rail or | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
area network, it is the State of our current roads that Adur really | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
concerning the bus companies. One of the most scenic routes between | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Aberfoyle and Loch Lomond is in such a bad State of repair already | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
that they are considering pulling their buses because of safety | :07:52. | :08:02. | |
:08:02. | :08:03. | ||
concerns. A �300 million plan to create a world-class business up | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
near Edinburgh airport has been unveiled. There would be a | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
conference arena and business space built on land near the RBS | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
headquarters. Firefighters and police are currently attending a | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
serious fire at a block of flats in Hellington Renfrewshire. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Unconfirmed reports suggest one person has been killed and a number | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
of others are trapped by the fire. Traffic is disrupted in the | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:49. | ||
surrounding area. As the funeral takes place of a farm or find with | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
head injuries over a year ago takes place his widow appeals for | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
information. And we will have the latest on the Scots inaction in the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Open golf and it is a case of down but not out for Dundee United as | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
they begin their Europa League adventure in Poland. Could the days | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
of the stookie be numbered? A Scottish surgeon has come up with a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
new technique which could spell the end of the plaster cast for certain | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
kinds of injuries. Instead of holding the joint with an external | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
brace, a tiny support would be inserted into the bone. Our health | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
:09:36. | :09:41. | ||
correspondent has more. This Scottish figure skating duo wear in | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
the last Olympics but earlier this year disaster struck. He did a left | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
and we fell. My shoulder was forced all one way and my arm the others | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
saw it was a complete dislocation. Plenty of other sports men and | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
women have had to spend weeks or months struck up as injuries | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
recover. This is the foot of a young footballer who has the same | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
kind of injury. This is then just a few weeks after surgery and no | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
plaster-cast in sight. Asked Dickie is extremely unpleasant and when it | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
comes off the foot tends to be festering within and your muscles | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
have wasted to nothing. Anything that can maintain joint function | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
and movement is beneficial. Using keyhole surgery, special tape is | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
fixed at the side of the damaged joint which acts as a brace, | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
holding the torn ligaments in place. This means the joint can move while | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
in the body are recovers. The result is a recovery that takes | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
weeks rather than months. This woman is already training to skate | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
in Japan and his Foye will be playing football in August. The | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
technique is still in development. It is not widely available. Most of | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
us will continue to need one of these but one day spending weeks in | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
plaster may be a thing of the past. Some of the other stories: Police | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
are not pursuing charges against a woman who took her paralysed son to | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
a controversial Swiss clinic to take his on life. Helen Curry told | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
how she took her 33-year-old son Robert to the Dignitas clinic after | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
he was left paralysed from the neck down. A police woman has been found | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
guilty of attempting to prevent the course of justice. She found a | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
suspect outside a Chinese restaurant around half past 51 | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
morning last July and could not be bothered it to arrest them the herd. | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
Rangers will give their team the full backing to cutting out | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
Hundreds of mourners have attended the funeral of an Aberdeenshire | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
farmer who died in mysterious circumstances. 80-year-old Sandy | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Ingram was found with serious head injuries just over a year ago. Two | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
intruders had been spotted in the grounds of his remote farmhouse. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Now his widow has appealed for them to come forward. Colin Wight | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
reports. Sandy Ingram was a popular former. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Many friends and family gathered at the parish church to celebrate his | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
life. This is he had spent the last year. And a hospital bed, unable to | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
talk or explain what had happened. He died last month. Police had been | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
called to his remote farmhouse on June 19th last year. He was found | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
with serious head injuries after going to investigate the siting of | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
two men in the grounds. Since he died, we would like to know what | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
happened. If anybody, these two people, could come forward and tell | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
:13:39. | :13:39. | ||
us, it would be a big relief just to know what happened. Sandy | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Ingram's White said her husband was a happy and jolly man who loved his | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
life. She had taken part in over 180 Highland Games. At this | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
afternoon Mrs Ingram said goodbye to her husband but not to the | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
thoughts that hot her daily. For it is very difficult, the thought that | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
he has suffered this last year. We hope to move on. It has been very | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
difficult this past year. We have to look to the future without him. | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
It is just hard. Hundreds have gathered here today to celebrate | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
the life of Sandy Ingram, but his death remains a mystery. Until | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
someone comes forward with an answer, it will be hard for his | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
family to find peace. An investigation is underway into a | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
gas leak at the St Fergus terminal near Peterhead. Workers were called | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
to muster this afternoon, and all non-essential personnel sent home | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
for the rest of the day. Fire fighters and police were called to | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
the plant but were stood down shortly after. Operators Total said | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
the section of the terminal affected by the leak was | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
immediately shut down and depressurised. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
Now, have a look at these. They are examples of guerrilla art work | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
which mysteriously appeared in Edinburgh city centre overnight. | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
The public seem to like them, but as Gavin Walker reports, the local | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
council cannot seem to make its mind up whether to praise them or | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
:15:14. | :15:16. | ||
erase them. It is a man! Maybe it's Jesus! | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
are the top of the town in Edinburgh. It is very impressive. | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
Do you know who it is? It is stunning, very good. I think it is | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
very good. A series of around 50 giant posters has popped up around | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
the city centre. Facial images of local people so precise. But the | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
artist did not ask permission to put them all up. If you take a | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
profile picture of yourself and place it in the streets. It seems | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
the local council cannot decide whether to talk them up or rip them | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
down. This issue -- his image on the stair is a health and safety | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
risk. But they have appeared over 90 and it has been the top of the | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
city. Wheelie did here as long as we possibly can but the he said | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
there is akin to wallpaper pester and the danger is if it rains the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
paste will run. The council said the efforts will be made to keep | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
faith none a risky posters up for as long as possible. But just five | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
minutes down the road, this. And apparently an order dating from | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
this morning to take them all down. What in the last hour, the council | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
says that was a mistake. It is the postures can stay as long as they | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
are causing no public risk. The owners of the Sunday Mail are | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
to print an extra 250,000 copies this weekend as part of a drive to | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
pick up News of the World readers. News International shut down the | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
title last week after the phone- hacking scandal broke. The Mail is | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
already Scotland's best-selling Sunday paper. | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
Let's have a look at the sport in detail now. Here's Jonathan. | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
The 140th Open Championship is underway. And while the Scots have | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
not quite been able to live with the pace of early leader Thomas | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
Bjorn at five under par, a few of them do remain within touching | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
distance. Tee-off time for it Scotland's | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
highest-ranking golfer. He shared the lead for two under par. But | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
what they knowing what went wrong, he finished with a first round of | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
72, two over par. I was happy and playing well and that is this Gulf | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
course. I did not do much different on the back and finished two over. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
A steady round of 70 sort Stephen Gallagher finish level par. It was | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:03. | ||
good. I hit a lot of good putts and that is all that you can ask for. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
The Scots were not making wallies of themselves and will there was | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
nothing quite as spectacular as dust and Johnson's hole in one, | :18:12. | :18:21. | |
overall they were doing OK. wind come down quite a lot and I | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
was looking to pick up a couple coming in. I dropped one down at | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
last but it was not as great finish. Just being here is phenomenal and | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
if I can pay -- play well tomorrow. Plenty to keep an eye on over the | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
next few days. Boxing, and Ricky Burns is gearing | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
up for his latest world super- featherweight title defence. The | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
Scot arrived in Liverpool earlier today ahead of facing Englishman | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
Nicky Cook in the city on Saturday. Burn will be aiming to successfully | :18:51. | :18:59. | |
defend his crown for the third time. Nothing has changed since I have | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
won the title. I would not read any of my opponents differently. We are | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
trained for a hard 12 rounds if it goes that. I have said that before | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
it he wants to have a boxing match, then so be it. If he wants to go | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
toe-to-toe, then I will meet him in the centre of that ring. | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
To football now and Dundee United were in Europa League action this | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
afternoon in Poland. Facing Slask Wroclaw in their second-round | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
qualifier first leg, United spurned a great chance to break the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
deadlock through David Goodwillie. Despite looking like securing a | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
goalless draw, United conceded this late goal by Johan Voskamp. The | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Poles won the match 1-0. The return leg will be played at Tannadice | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
next Thursday. The Hearts manager Jim Jefferies | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
says he is glad the Craig Thomson saga has been resolved and he can | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
now focus on the start of the season. Hearts were training minus | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Thomson, who has been told he will not play for the club again after | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
being placed on the Sex Offenders Register. It is after he pled | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
guilty to inappropriate conduct towards two under age girls. And | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Jefferies says he is content that a line has been drawn under the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
affair. It has been put to bed now and it is over. We now need to | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
concentrate on making sure that we can get one or two of the injuries | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
cleared up in time to give us the options for the first game of the | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
season. There was a bit of a Doctor Who | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
moment in Renfrew today, when the contents of a time capsule were | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
revealed. It had been hidden away nearly 140 years ago, and was only | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
discovered during a restoration project. It is hoped the contents | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
will give fresh insights into the area's history. Sally McNair has | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
more. 1872 saw the grand opening of | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
Renfrew town hall. Behind the stonework in the Clock Tower, | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
workmen head away at last a bell jar with treasures of the time. But | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
survived a fire and nearly one and half centuries -- 150 years, before | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
construction workers found it. was a great surprise. They are | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
usually found down in the ground, so to find it where it was was a | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
great surprise. Curators will spend the next few months restoring the | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
unique collection of objects and documents. We have a gold sovereign, | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
what I suspect will be their most expensive object in there. It is | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
almost in mint condition. We discovered that there was in fact | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
