Welcome to Reporting Scotland. As an arrest is made in connection

with alleged a hate messages to Neil Lennon, Paul least demonstrate

their latest weapon in the fight against sectarianism.

This unit was involved in the arrest today of a man from

Others have few or none. But perhaps more places for students

sluggish housing market. Official figures from the Registers of

Scotland show that prices rose by just good cheap -- 0.4 % between

April and June. Prices are highest in East Renfrewshire. And how much

are you willing to pay to go to a football match? ABB sees Survey has

The message today is, is that something we could still benefit

from today in 21st century Scotland? The 19 twenties and

thirties with a golden age of huts in Scotland. The tradition

future husband at the heart. things that matter to me are being

in touch with other people. Teaching your children skills,

sitting playing cards, getting them off the computer. If you left them,

they would do that 24 hours a day. Researchers say that Scotland

should look to the Nordic countries and Russia for inspiration, nations

exceptions, we are the odd ones out. There is no one at our latitude

is only the start. 1000 hats is a tiny amount. We have said that

because we thought, over three to five-year period, we could easily

do more. Finding land and securing planning permission are just two

hurdles to be overcome. The actress Joanna Lumley is

backing plans to create Scotland's first centre for children's

literature. As a schoolboy, J M Barrie played in the garden of Moat

Brae House and revealed later that it was his childhood Neverland.

J M Barrie's story of the boy who never grew up, his adventures in

Neverland, have enthralled generations of children. The

characters were inspired in the garden of this one scant

Dumfriesshire town house. They would play in this very garden here.

In 1924, when J M Barrie returned to Dumfries, to get the freedom of

the town, he acknowledged in his speech that this indeed was the

place where he had his first ideas for the story of Peter Pan. A place

to be revered and protected them? Well, not up to now. This is the

legacy of years of neglect. building is in a story state. -- a

sorry state. The premises are now in the hands of a trust, with

ambitions to keeper the place as the birthplace of Peter Pan.

want people to celebrate children's literature and their history and

heritage and their past. It is a fitting legacy for JM Barrie. This

was his enchanted land and it will become adventure ground where every

plant tells a story. Even with high-profile backing, realising

this project will not be done by just waving a magic wand. I know

what can be done but it has to be done now. If it is not done this

year, it will fall down, there is no doubt about it. It is kind of at

five to midnight this house. In four years' time, in 2015, it will

open again and be the Moat Brae House that J M Barrie knew when he

was a child. As J M Barrie himself wrote, in Peter Pan, dreams do come

true if only we wish hard enough. It has been a bit of a nightmare

for Jim Jefferies at heart. Let us get the latest on that.

Another interesting day at Heart of Midlothian. They have appointed

Paulo Sergio as their new manager. The move comes after the Edinburgh

club club sacked Jim Jefferies and Billy Brown. -- the Edinburgh club.

The new heart boss, Paulo Sergio, arriving for his first day in

office at Heart of Midlothian. He was quickly followed in the job --

in the order -- in the door by the club's owner. He was reluctant to

talk about the change. After a short meeting, it was onto the

training ground, with the club's owner keeping a clear eye on

proceedings. -- a keen eye. Paulo Sergio from Portugal will replace

Jim Jefferies in the hot seat here it Tynecastle in the Europa read

Paul fire. -- de Europa League qualifier. Craig Levein says that

the change could backfire on the order. It is a shame, Jem is a

great manager and they had brought a level of stability back to Hearts.

It is extremely difficult to provide success without stability.

I do not own a football club, I do not make the decisions at Heart of

Midlothian, but it is a disappointment for me to lose the

manager after a short period of time he has not had enough time to

put his ideas into practice. Hearts players are staying silent,

but if you have said privately that they are far from happy that Jim

Jefferies and Billy Brown have gone, hardly ideal preparation for the

Europol League tie. Within the last few minutes, Jim

Jefferies has been speaking to us. What has he had to say? He was

explaining his reasons for not taking the role of director of

football, a job he was offered by the club's owner. He said the

timing was just not right. He says he feels at great deal of loyalty

to his assistant, Billy Brown. They have been together as a management

team for 23 years. Interestingly, he says he would not rule out the

possibility of taking the job on in the future. At the moment, he has

left and we'll have to wait 24 hours now for their words of Paulo

Sergio. It looks like Rangers have missed

out on signing David Goodwillie. His agent says the Dundee United

striker will tomorrow sign for Blackburn Rovers having undergone a

medical today. Rangers made another bid today to sign the player, who

has just been called into the Scotland squad, and the offer,

although, -- although close to Blackburn's bed, did not match it

and has been rejected. Rangers and in Sweden ahead of

their qualifier against Malmo. After the 2-no win over St

Johnstone -- have bought after a bit 2-0 win over St Johnstone, they

are confident. They if they do not score, we're out. We have to score.

It is encouraging that Nikica Jelavic and Stephen Naysmith were

Edinburgh's Royal Mile, an area with a lot of history and a lot of

tourists shop. But people have now been banned from playing bagpipe

music too loudly. The council says it will clamp down on traders after

a series of complaints from more calls.

Out in the city centre today and it sound of canned bagpipe music. As

ever, the pipes provoke a reaction from locals. He drives people mad.

He goes on all day, I work in an office next door. On a nice day, it

is lovely to hear a bit of bagpipe music. I cringe when I pass it.

traders have been warned that they could face penalties for playing

bagpipe music too loud. There have been a lot of complaints,

particularly down the Royal Mile. Especially now that the festival is

coming along, when the street will be busier, that they have a good

quality experience in Edinburgh. environmental wardens will patrol

A man has been arrested in connection with alleged axe

that the Justice Secretary visited the unit, which has been created to
