Welcome to Friday's Reporting Scotland. After the big storm, | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
engineers are working full tilts to restore power to thousands of | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
households still cut off from the Great. You have got to prepare | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
everything during daylight. Otherwise you are working by | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
candles. While the country is still feeling the effects of the extreme | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
weather, it is a struggle to get back to normal. | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
In other news: An inquest hears that a Scots soldier was captured, | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :00:59. | ||
tortured and shot by the Taliban in Scotland is catching its breath | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
after enduring the worst storms to hit the country in 10 years. Nobody | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
was injured in the winds, which were recorded as reaching 106 mph | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
on the Tay Bridge, but there has been a lot of damage and cleaning | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
up to do. There has also been disruption to power supplies. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
The picture across the country has The picture across the country has | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
been changing rapidly. All must -- almost 108,000 homes were without | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
power overnight. Tonight, there are still around 40,000 homes without | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
electricity. 1,300 engineers will be working late into tonight to try | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
to connect homes, but the electricity companies are warning | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
that it may be tomorrow before everyone is reconnected. We went to | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
visit people in Dunkeld to of facing a second night without | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
facing a second night without electricity. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
These people in Dunkeld have been without electricity since yesterday | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
lunch time. You have to prepare everything during daylight, | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
otherwise you are working by candles. It is cold getting up in | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
:02:33. | :02:37. | ||
the morning. But the gas hob on to heat your water. All were to do | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
before you get a cup of tea in the morning! Engineers have been | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
battling all day to get the power back on, but there have been many | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
obstacles. Here in Ayrshire, engineers tackles blizzard | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
conditions to reconnect the last few homes without power in this | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
part of the country. The winds were so bad that we could not do a lot | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
of repairs. We have to climb Poles, and the guys could not even stand | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
at less aligned -- let alone climb the polls. They could not get out | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
of their van because the wind was penning the doors shut. The guys | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
did a great job to get us where we are. There is much more to do in | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
other parts of Scotland. Areas covered by Scottish Hydro, like | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
Tayside, Argyll and the Western Isles, have been hardest hit. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Customers say they have not been told when the power will come back | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
on. We have not heard anything. Some people have said that there is | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
a Paul pulls down, but that is it. It might not even be tonight. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
might be tomorrow. And they are not alone. Tens of thousands of people | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
are still without power, but Scottish Hydro's say they are | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
hopeful that tonight will be the last cold night their customers | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
will have to endure. We are going to Pitlochry in | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
Perthshire where the power is still out. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Apart from the likes that we put it, Pitlochry is still in darkness, and | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
it is almost 30 hours since the electricity went off here and in | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
other communities in Perthshire. People have set a cannot remember a | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
time when they have been without electricity for so long. You would | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
expect people to be out on the main street on Friday night going to | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
hotels and pubs and restaurants. It is a ghost town. I wandered around | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
their lunch time, and most of the shops were closed, missing out on a | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
pre-Christmas sales, no doubt. There is a popular truck stop down | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
the road, and the proprietor was complaining that he cannot serve | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
food or sell fuel. As we found out when we visited one petrol station, | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
it was limiting sales to �20 per customer. People are getting fed up. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
We spoke to a couple with a five- month-old baby. They are all | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
electric. They do not know who to turn to. It is a grim situation | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
here in Pitlochry. One bright note is that there are a couple of | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
enterprising takeaways which are still open for business. I can | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
smell the chips from here. The storm hit first in the West, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
then headed east before turning north, which means that community's | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
right across the country have spent the day assessing damage. | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
Safe as houses, they say. Not in Airdrie. Paul Austin, his wife and | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
children were sitting down to dinner when their Wall disappeared, | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
hit by a huge gust of wind. You can see in the garden, there are | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
several tons of rubble there. It could have killed us. I was just | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
getting ready for dinner. It could have been a lot worse at the end of | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
the day. Fortunately, there have been many lucky escapes over the | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
last couple of days. In Aberdeen, the gable end of a house fell on to | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
this car. No-one was injured, but several families have to leave | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
their homes. In Aberdeenshire, a treat -- a tree fell on top of a | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
van. The road was closed for several hours. This lorry tackles - | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
- toppled over near Aberdeen. Nearby, they were clearing up after | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
part of a roof was blown off a grain store. Alex Brodie had not | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
won, but two trees fall on his property. His route is badly | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
damaged. I was having my dinner, and there was a gust of wind. I | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
heard a crash and there was a tree. The first one missed the house, and | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
then about its 30 seconds later, the other one came. I was watching | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
the news and the bad weather reports. It was quite a shock. | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Shetland, winds continued to batter the islands. Most ferry services | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
are suspended. Half of the schools are closed. In Orkney, a number of | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
small boats were sunk at them all - - moorings. Some those were washed | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
away. In Aberdeen, two huge trees came down. Throughout the country, | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
the clearer continues. Five hill-walkers have been found | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
safe and well after spending two nights in atrocious conditions in | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
the Cairngorms. Gusts were recorded of 165 mph at the summit. They were | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
surprised to find themselves the focus of a search and rescue | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
operation. Rescued, say, well and a little | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
surprised. These five hill-walkers spent two nights in the Cairngorms | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
during one of the worst storms in years. They did not even know | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
anyone was looking for them. When the helicopter went over, we | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
thought it was fine. We thought they were doing a day pass of the | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
glens. I was having a cup of tea, waving at them. A huge search | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
:09:01. | :09:02. | ||
involving three mountain rescue teams found the group. Weaver | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
contents. If they had been caught on the high ground in the winds | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
yesterday, it would have been bad. Our pace was quite slow, so we | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
ended up not getting to the bothy. We got to the nearest patch of | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
trees and set up camp in shelter. Bemused by the attention, the group | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
are grateful that someone was worried for them. My girlfriend | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
phoned. They said they set out at 6am. The helicopter went past at | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:46. | ||
about 8am. We heard that. We didn't think it could be for us. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
You are watching Reporting Scotland. Still to come: Why this older means | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
huge tours for motorists in the West Highlands. And in sport, | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
another Scottish international says he is interested in playing for | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
Great Britain at the Olympics. From next year, the world rugby series | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
will belong to Glasgow, not Edinburgh. Find out why. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
A mother accused of murdering her toddler son, pretending for months | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
that he was still alive, has told the jury that she taught in fact -- | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
found him dead. Kimberley Hainey said that she had not made a debt | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
and nor given him drugs. He was found at his home last year. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Kimberley Hainey gave evidence today about the summer of 2009, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
when she says she found her son Declan dead. She told the court | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
that she had put Declan to bed in a cot in the living room of the flat | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
in Paisley. The next morning, when she woke, she realised he was not a | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
wake. She said, I do not know how he died. I looked in the cot, and | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
Beckham was lying there. I picked him up and begged him not to go. I | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
gave him master mouth. His lips were blue. Her defence asked her | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
why she did not go for help from neighbours or call the police or an | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
ambulance. I kept telling myself it was not real. I kept thinking he | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
was going to wake up. She went on to say, if he was dead, then I | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
wanted to be dead as well. Kimberley Hainey said that after | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Declan died, she did not just put her baby in the room and close the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
door. She said she was still living the life they lead, telling herself | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
that things would be OK. She told the court that she carried on | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
buying Declan milk, clothes, even Christmas presents. I know it | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
sounds crazy, she said, but I was not crazy. She said she turned to | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
drink and drugs to block out the pain. She then went on to talk | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
about the allegations hat -- that have been made against her. She | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
said that she was branded as a monster, and that was not true. She | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
said that she loved her baby more than anything in the world. So many | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
things that have been said are not true. Kimberley Hainey has already | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
had charges dropped against her that she gave Texan drugs. She | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
denies all charges. The trial here at the High Court in Glasgow | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
continues next week. A soldier killed in Afghanistan was | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
captured, tortured and shot by the Taliban. An inquest into the death | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
of Scott McLaren, who died last July, heard that he left an Army | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
checkpoint at 2am, but the reason why they remain a mystery. | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
Colleagues described him as HET man with a cheeky grin. Scott McLaren | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
lost his life in the 10th year of Britain's conflict in Afghanistan. | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
Highlander McLaren was helping to guard a Czech-born to -- a cheque | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
for eight -- a checkpoint in Helmand Province. He left the | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
checkpoint at to 7:00PM, carrying his weapon, at a sack and wearing | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
full body armour. At 5pm, after an extensive search, his body was | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
found. The inquest concluded that he was unlawfully killed,. Evidence | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
suggested that he had been captured by insurgents. He was shot five | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
times. His half-naked body was found dumped in a river. It is | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
still a mystery why a Scott McLaren ventured out that evening. Earlier | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
reports suggested that he wants with a set of night-vision goggles. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
The inquest heard that he headed in a different direction to that | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
thought. The only person who could solve that mystery is no longer | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
with us. At his funeral in Edinburgh, tributes were paid by | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
former colleagues. Almost got was not in the Italian for long, he | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
left his mark. Fit, tireless, a great character, he was a true | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
friend to many. Highlander McLaren's family have given no | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
public reaction to the inquest findings. They say they will miss | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
:14:39. | :14:40. | ||
him dreadfully and always be Some of the other stories across | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Scotland this Friday: A man has been found guilty of owning two | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Rottweilers that savaged a ten- year-old girl on the street, | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
leaving her with permanent scars. Derek Adam's Rottweilers escaped | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
from the garden of his ex-partner's home in Dundee in August 2010. They | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
attacked another dog before pulling the girl from the bike and dragging | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
her onto the road. Adam was warned he faces jail when he returns for | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
sentencing in January. Rangers have reached an out-of- | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
court settlement with their former finance director Donald McIntyre, | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
who is suing them for breach of contract. In October Mr MacIntyre | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
had �300,000 of the club's assets frozen pending the outcome of his | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
case. However, the Court of Session was told this morning that both | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
parties had reached agreement, although the settlement was | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
undisclosed. Tens of thousands of people have | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
given their views on whether same- sex marriage should be allowed in | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Scotland. A Scottish government consultation on the issue closes | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
today and it is already clear the subject has prompted one of the | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:44. | ||
biggest reactions ministers have ever seen. It is 250 tonnes of | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
solid granite and it has been perched on top of the Highland hill | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
since the Ice Age but the Forestry Commission has decided the huge | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
rock is unsafe and there began an operation today to break down. It | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
sits above their AA82 at Fort William which means long delays for | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
motorists this weekend. -- the A82. You probably do not realise what is | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
glowering down a you when you drive along here, but this Rock has to be | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
removed because if they do not take it down, it risks coming down any | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
way and with the trees. There are a few technical issues. It is such a | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
major unstable crack. This site means they cannot bring any | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
mechanical equipment end to help with the removal of the rock. That | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
means that everything has to be done by hand. To make sure it is | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
done as quickly as possible, the contractors are working 24 hours a | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
day, even during the dark. The way it is lying is not safe, the weight | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
is towards the front and there is an obvious crack at the back. It | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
has been suffering for a long time. It needs to come down. It means the | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
closure of his main highway to the West Highlands. While local people | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
accept the safety case, there is concern about the disruption. | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
People are saying this in her the better but basically minimise the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
disruption. End this regard, we have been seeking to get | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
compensation for people who have to take the ferry but the Forestry | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
Commission have refused that. Forestry Commission is embarking on | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
a programme of harvesting on its deeper slopes, so projects like | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
this are bound to become more common through out Scotland. -- | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
steeper slopes. Now for the sport. Good evening. Another Scottish | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
international footballer has declared his interest in | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
representing Britain at their London Olympics. Celtic's James | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Forrest says it would be an honour to be pecked. He admits the | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
Scottish FA opposition gives players a dilemma. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
James Forrest is a young man in good form, Celtic's clean sweep of | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
the monthly awards is testament to that. He might be a candidate for | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
the British Olympic squad. A looks promising, he looks like a good | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
tournament. It would be a good thing to happen. The SFA would | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
prefer the Scottish players would not make themselves available, we | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
that we of? There was no guarantee I would get picked but any player | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
who was pecked, would have to consider it because it is a great | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
honour. Jane is forest is not the only Scot to feel away. -- James | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
Forrest. Steven Naismith also said he would make himself available. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
That is a fantastic goal! This is another Scot who is keen to be | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
involved, but do they have the support of the nation? I do us see | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
why Scottish players cannot participate. Steven Naismith should | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
be ashamed of himself. I think issued, by 11 London. Team GB is a | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
political football. -- I think they should. But I live in London. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Scotland's women are through to the final of the European Championships | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
in Moscow. Eve Muirhead's rink beat Denmark by comfortably -- | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
comfortably by 10 shots to 2 in the semi-finals. They will play Sweden | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
in tomorrow's final. The Swedes have won all 10 of their matches so | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
far in the tournament. Scotland's Paul Lawrie is six shots | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
off the lead at the Dubai World Golf Championship. The former Open | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
champion started his second round one of the lead on seven under par, | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
but a one-over-par round today means he's dropped down the field | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
which is led by Alvaro Quiros from Spain. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Glasgow will host the Rugby Sevens World series from next season. The | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Scottish leg of the competition is moving from Murrayfield in | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
Edinburgh to the home of Glasgow Warriors. It is hoped the stadium | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
at Scotstoun will help create a better atmosphere than is possible | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
at the home of Scottish rugby. Plenty of thrilling Sevens action | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
at the Stadium today - entertaining stuff. Good try! It will be the | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
return of the big boys when the World Sevens relocates. We have | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
managed to reunite to British rugby legends to announce the launch of | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
the Sevens. Good afternoon. Why is there such a big deal? I think it | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
is a great idea. Sevens is a totally different game, it is all | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
about a party atmosphere and carnival. We would never fell | :20:57. | :21:02. | |

The methods have changed but the job of painting and maintenance has | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
been ongoing ever since 1890. It is no longer and never-ending task - | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
work is done for 20 years. We have had to paint over 6 million rabbits | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
by hand. We have covered thousands of square metres with litres of | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
