:00:00. > :00:19.That is all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye.

:00:20. > :00:26.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland. A silent tribute.

:00:27. > :00:39.The country unites in remembrance to the victims of war.

:00:40. > :00:48.I have got his grandson, it is his birthday today. Just hope they does

:00:49. > :00:51.not go through what we did. Also on the programme. Heart disease

:00:52. > :00:56.is the country's biggest killer but researches say a new test could help

:00:57. > :00:59.predict who's most in danger. Jellyfish stings, sickness and

:01:00. > :01:04.Scotland's freezing cold waters. We'll speak live to Sean Conway at

:01:05. > :01:11.the end of his epic swim from Lands End to John O Groats.

:01:12. > :01:15.On the move. The huge Burrell art collection could leave Glasgow to

:01:16. > :01:19.tour overseas for the first time. And Terry Butcher bids farewell to

:01:20. > :01:29.Inverness as Hibs seal the deal for him to take over as manager at

:01:30. > :01:36.Easter Road. Thousands of Scots stood in silent tribute to those who

:01:37. > :01:46.died in conflict. Services took place across the country. Cameron

:01:47. > :02:06.Buttle reports. From shoppers in Aberdeen, commuters

:02:07. > :02:12.in Edinburgh, , Glasgow, Lerwick. I'm remembering some of my friends

:02:13. > :02:35.that they lost in Germany and Africa. I just miss them. We

:02:36. > :02:40.remember them. They died for us. In this school, pupils have spent

:02:41. > :02:53.weeks learning about the consequences of war. If people had

:02:54. > :03:00.not fought in the war, they did not have the good life we have today. We

:03:01. > :03:08.were all thinking about how it has affected our lives. To remember the

:03:09. > :03:13.people who died in the war. We do not remember the war as the war, we

:03:14. > :03:19.remember the people who died. Hundreds turned out in Melrose for

:03:20. > :03:26.remembrance Sunday. All sections of the community

:03:27. > :03:32.represented. I think more people are taking part than in previous years.

:03:33. > :03:37.Perhaps because of recent conflicts. There have been so many lives lost

:03:38. > :03:45.and so many casualties. Veterans often talk about that sense of pride

:03:46. > :03:57.in seeing so many young people marking Armistice Day. That will be

:03:58. > :04:03.especially poignant next year, the 100th anniversary of the start of

:04:04. > :04:06.the First World War. Heart disease is Scotland's biggest

:04:07. > :04:10.killer and often attacks come without warning. But in what is

:04:11. > :04:12.being viewed as a significant breakthrough, researchers at

:04:13. > :04:16.Edinburgh University say they have discovered a way of spotting who is

:04:17. > :04:23.at greatest risk through a simple scan. Our health correspondent

:04:24. > :04:26.Eleanor Bradford reports. A shopping trip to Edinburgh turned

:04:27. > :04:34.into a near death experience for Etta Winters. She fell ill on the

:04:35. > :04:40.bus. It was a heart attack. My heart failed. They gave me four times, in

:04:41. > :04:46.America they call them the paddles, I do not know what it is here. But I

:04:47. > :04:51.am so sore with them giving me the resuscitation. But lucky to be

:04:52. > :04:56.alive. That's that they told me. There was no history of heart

:04:57. > :05:01.disease in her family. For decades, doctors have been searching for a

:05:02. > :05:05.way to spot the Hearts in danger. This is exactly at the site that he

:05:06. > :05:08.had his heart attack... When these doctors looked at the

:05:09. > :05:15.scans of a patient and noticed a curious change, they were excited.

:05:16. > :05:23.At the exact site where that fatty deposit has ruptured and caused a

:05:24. > :05:27.heart attack. We see it lighting up on the scan. We looked at 40

:05:28. > :05:32.patients who had lots of risk factors but who not had a heart

:05:33. > :05:37.attack. In about a third of patients, we saw areas like this. We

:05:38. > :05:41.put them on this bed and they go inside, this open scanner...

:05:42. > :05:44.This is the kind of scanner which lights up those blocked arteries. It

:05:45. > :05:54.is usually used for detecting cancer. What we have done is used a

:05:55. > :05:57.novel appllication of that existing technology for people with heart

:05:58. > :06:01.disease. Scientists do not like the word breakthrough because it so

:06:02. > :06:05.rarely applies. It does not provide us with the way of spotting people

:06:06. > :06:11.with no warning signs like Etta. But for others, it could be one day tell

:06:12. > :06:17.us who to treat and that really would be remarkable.

:06:18. > :06:20.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on the

:06:21. > :06:24.programme. The RSPB comes under fire for

:06:25. > :06:27.culling wild goats on the shores of Loch Lomond.

:06:28. > :06:30.In sport, police are investigating whether Craig Whyte is still

:06:31. > :06:33.involved at Rangers and have asked the former chief executive Charles

:06:34. > :06:40.Green for help in their enquiries. We are live at Ibrox.

:06:41. > :06:45.And settling in at Easter Road. The deal is now done for Terry Butcher

:06:46. > :06:49.to take his place in the Hibernian manager's hot seat. He'll be joined

:06:50. > :06:55.by assistant Maurice Malpas. Full story in the sport coming soon.

:06:56. > :06:59.Now to an amazing achievement. Sean Conway has made history by swimming

:07:00. > :07:02.the length of mainland Britain from Land's End to John O'Groats,

:07:03. > :07:05.completing a gruelling four month long fundraising trip. Andrew

:07:06. > :07:14.Anderson was there as the 32-year-old from Cheltenham reached

:07:15. > :07:19.the end of his epic swim. The final minutes of an endurance

:07:20. > :07:25.test. Imagining this moment had kept him going for 900 miles. What a

:07:26. > :07:32.welcome as he finally walked out of the water at John O'Groats harbour.

:07:33. > :07:37.Champagne rather than sea water washing over him. It was a moment to

:07:38. > :07:42.savour. He looked as if he could not believe it. The hardest part has

:07:43. > :07:49.been trying to deal with the weather and the cold. Being sick, jellyfish

:07:50. > :07:56.in my face. That is why I grew this beard to stop the stings. It is

:07:57. > :08:03.really cold out there. It started 135 days ago of land 's end. It was

:08:04. > :08:10.expected to take just over two months. But the marathon swim took

:08:11. > :08:29.nearly five. Eating at sea was just another other challengers. Stews,

:08:30. > :08:33.butter. Walkers and cyclists have done the lands end to John O'Groats

:08:34. > :08:39.challenge before, but respect to the man whose Lambert. It is just

:08:40. > :08:43.incredible. To do the distance he has done is awesome. I cannot

:08:44. > :08:49.imagine what keeps him going. The final few yards of the journey was

:08:50. > :09:01.the walk to the post that marks this most northerly point. It has put

:09:02. > :09:11.this man into the history books. An epic journey finally behind him.

:09:12. > :09:17.And Sean joins me now from John O'Groats. Congratulations. And thank

:09:18. > :09:25.you for coming back out in the cold to speak to us. Has the sense of

:09:26. > :09:37.achievement sunk in? It definitely hasn't -- sunk in. It has been a

:09:38. > :09:44.whirlwind day. It has been great to have my friends and family here and

:09:45. > :09:51.to be warm and dry and on dry land. I do not think it will sink in for a

:09:52. > :09:56.while. You look remarkably fit. We heard what you were up against, was

:09:57. > :10:02.there ever a moment when you thought you would not be able to do it?

:10:03. > :10:07.Definitely. Quite recently, last week, we were hit with gale force

:10:08. > :10:18.nine wins and be lost a boat at sea, a kayak, lost an anchor. We were

:10:19. > :10:30.stuck in a loch, thinking we had missed the weather window. It was

:10:31. > :10:34.pretty dark week ago. You describe that magnificent beard of yours as

:10:35. > :10:40.ridiculous, what does the future hold for you in terms of what you

:10:41. > :10:49.are going to try next and for that beard? For the beard, I think a

:10:50. > :10:53.charity shave is due. I will probably shave it off at our

:10:54. > :10:59.fundraising event. I cycled from lands end to John O'Groats a long

:11:00. > :11:06.time ago, now I think running it is on the cards. In the meantime, I

:11:07. > :11:12.want to find a very warm, dry place to thaw out. A pleasure to speak to

:11:13. > :11:19.you. Well done to you. Enjoy a lovely warm night.

:11:20. > :11:22.One of Scotland's biggest environmental organisations is under

:11:23. > :11:26.fire over its decision to resume a cull of feral goats on Loch

:11:27. > :11:29.Lomondside. RSPB Scotland wants to reduce the number of goats in the

:11:30. > :11:32.area around Inversnaid. But local people fear the animals could be

:11:33. > :11:36.wiped out. Our environment correspondent, David Miller,

:11:37. > :11:42.reports. Lunchtime at Loch Lomond. It is easy

:11:43. > :11:53.to see why Inversnaid's goats are so popular with visitors. But their

:11:54. > :11:57.constant munching is bad news for conservationists and that is why

:11:58. > :12:01.dozens of these animals are due to be shot. We are only a couple of

:12:02. > :12:06.hundred metres away from the West Highland Way but there are plenty of

:12:07. > :12:10.goats on the hillside. They may be popular with tourists and some

:12:11. > :12:17.locals, but the animals are having a big impact on the biodiversity of

:12:18. > :12:20.this woodland. This is Scotland's answer to

:12:21. > :12:23.rainforest, it's an amazing habitat, it's got a wealth of wildlife,

:12:24. > :12:28.lichens, mosses. We want herbivores to be grazing in this area, but what

:12:29. > :12:33.we need to achieve is a balance so they can both coexist. This is a

:12:34. > :12:40.good example of where there is damage to the tree here. The goats

:12:41. > :12:45.are stripping the bark. They can peel off strips and eat them away.

:12:46. > :12:49.These will eventually die. That is essentially what is happening to any

:12:50. > :12:51.saplings that are growing up in this area.

:12:52. > :12:53.No one denies the goats have a voracious appetite, but RSPB

:12:54. > :13:09.Scotland is facing criticism from some local people worried about the

:13:10. > :13:15.scale of the cull. There can easily be two or three bad winters, the

:13:16. > :13:19.goats are in low numbers and we could end up with no goats.

:13:20. > :13:23.The goats of Inversnaid may be facing an uncertain future, but the

:13:24. > :13:28.RSPB insists they can survive along with the reach woodland habitat here

:13:29. > :13:31.on the bonny banks. -- rich woodland.

:13:32. > :13:39.Other stories from across Scotland this Monday.

:13:40. > :13:41.Five men who admitted taking part in disorder during an unauthorised

:13:42. > :13:45.Royal wedding party in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park have been told to

:13:46. > :13:48.carry out unpaid work. Liam Turbett, John Bennett, James Nesbitt, Dominic

:13:49. > :13:52.McGoldrick and Matthew Crerar were involved in scuffles with police in

:13:53. > :13:56.April 2011. A formula has been agreed to resolve

:13:57. > :13:58.the visa issue that led to Dumfries-based head-teacher David

:13:59. > :14:05.MacIsaac facing deportation while his Scottish wife battles cancer.

:14:06. > :14:09.His lawyer and officials at the UK Border Agency have agreed a legal

:14:10. > :14:12.framework to allow him to maintain his residency and employment rights

:14:13. > :14:14.while a new visa application is considered.

:14:15. > :14:19.An independent report is calling for the setting up of a new regulator

:14:20. > :14:22.for the UK oil and gas industry. It's claimed better collaboration

:14:23. > :14:28.could generate an extra ?200 billion for the UK economy over the next 20

:14:29. > :14:35.years. We should recover at least four

:14:36. > :14:43.billion barrels that would not have been recovered either wise. --

:14:44. > :14:45.otherwise. It is a huge additional size.

:14:46. > :14:49.The former Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie has taken her seat in

:14:50. > :14:53.the House of Lords. She'll be known as Baroness Goldie of Bishopton and

:14:54. > :14:57.will sit on the Government benches. Plans have been lodged to raise the

:14:58. > :15:01.height of the iconic Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow in a

:15:02. > :15:05.bid to stop revellers placing traffic cones on it. The city

:15:06. > :15:09.council wants to raise the plinth as part of a ?65,000 project to

:15:10. > :15:15.refurbish the monument and end what it calls a depressing image of the

:15:16. > :15:19.city. I think it is a good thing for

:15:20. > :15:27.Glasgow. It is not negative graffiti, it is positive. They will

:15:28. > :15:30.still claim up. Or keep it on. Keep it how it is.

:15:31. > :15:34.And there are more stories from your area and all the latest news 24

:15:35. > :15:40.hours a day on BBC Scotland's website.

:15:41. > :15:44.MSPs have backed a bill which would allow the Burrell art collection to

:15:45. > :15:46.be taken overseas for the first time. Sir William Burrell, the

:15:47. > :15:49.shipping magnate who gave the collection to Glasgow, stipulated

:15:50. > :15:52.they should not be lent overseas, in case the priceless works were

:15:53. > :15:55.damaged, but politicians heard evidence that suggested the work was

:15:56. > :16:08.more likely to suffer damage at home in Glasgow. Sir William Burrell

:16:09. > :16:14.travel the world and brought back his treasures to Glasgow. But having

:16:15. > :16:19.lost ships at sea, he knew the risks and insisted the collection never

:16:20. > :16:27.travel beyond the British ideals. The tasks for MSP 's was to consider

:16:28. > :16:35.not whether he wanted to travel but whether it was safer to know do so.

:16:36. > :16:40.We have taken evidence from people on both sides of the argument.

:16:41. > :16:44.Obviously, the methods of transport have changed a lot since Thursday.

:16:45. > :16:50.We were persuaded that was the case and it was worthwhile. Ironically,

:16:51. > :16:56.they found the collection was more at risk at home in a building in

:16:57. > :17:01.origin need of refurbishment. He planned overseas to replace part of

:17:02. > :17:06.the course cost as well as the profile of the collection. If we do

:17:07. > :17:15.not do something, the building will end up having to be closed. Taking

:17:16. > :17:20.the collection onto is one of the ways of being able to generate the

:17:21. > :17:23.millions that will be required. It will also mean the collection will

:17:24. > :17:32.be available for future generations to enjoy here in Glasgow. I realise

:17:33. > :17:37.that financially it makes sense for it to go abroad, but it was the

:17:38. > :17:42.terms of the will that I do not think should be changed. I do not

:17:43. > :17:47.agree with it. I am in favour of it going across the rest of the world

:17:48. > :17:59.and hopefully people will then come here to see more of it. The snow has

:18:00. > :18:02.to be ratified by the entire Parliament, before the collection

:18:03. > :18:05.could ever be allowed to travel the world.

:18:06. > :18:08.To sport now and Rhona. Police are investigating whether

:18:09. > :18:11.Craig Whyte, the former owner, is still involved at Rangers, and have

:18:12. > :18:16.asked the former chief executive Charles Green for help in their

:18:17. > :18:19.enquiries. Green stood down earlier this year, following allegations

:18:20. > :18:27.that he colluded with Whyte to buy Rangers' assets. The Our senior

:18:28. > :18:31.football reporter Alasdair Lamont is at Ibrox this evening and can tell

:18:32. > :18:38.us more. The spectre of Craig Whyte still

:18:39. > :18:40.haunts Rangers. He is the man who took them into administration and,

:18:41. > :18:44.ultimately, liquidation, but police now want to know if he remains

:18:45. > :18:48.involved here at Ibrox. BBC Scotland has seen an e-mail sent by police

:18:49. > :18:52.last month to the lawyer of the former chief executive Charles

:18:53. > :18:59.Green. Green resigned after Craig Whyte alleged the pair colluded in

:19:00. > :19:02.the sale of the assets. Rangers asked law firm Pinsent Masons to

:19:03. > :19:05.investigate those claims and though they found no evidence, they have

:19:06. > :19:09.passed files to Police Scotland who, in turn, have asked Charles Green

:19:10. > :19:13.for his version of events. Do we know if police have heard back

:19:14. > :19:15.from Charles Green or Craig Whyte? The police themselves say they will

:19:16. > :19:20.not comment on on-going investigations. I have spoken to a

:19:21. > :19:23.source close to Charles Green, who states that he is co-operating with

:19:24. > :19:29.police, while a similarly-placed source for Craig Whyte says police

:19:30. > :19:31.have not contacted him on this. The investigation's being carried out by

:19:32. > :19:35.Police Scotland's Economic Crime Unit and they also want to speak to

:19:36. > :19:40.Charles Green about a document submitted to Companies House. This

:19:41. > :19:44.document lies at the heart of Craig Whyte's claim that he and Green were

:19:45. > :19:46.working together. It is worth remembering that the Scottish

:19:47. > :19:48.Football Association said "the key requirement" in them transferring

:19:49. > :19:52.the liquidated company's membership to the new company was the total

:19:53. > :19:55.lack of involvement of Craig Whyte, so if it were established that he

:19:56. > :20:03.was involved, that membership would be open to challenge.

:20:04. > :20:06.Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie says he is "looking forward to welcoming"

:20:07. > :20:10.Terry Butcher and Maurice Malpas to Easter Road. The Inverness

:20:11. > :20:13.management team is taking over at Hibs, but Caley Thistle chairman

:20:14. > :20:16.Kenny Cameron says it is a "major disappointment" to lose them and

:20:17. > :20:33.even offered Malpas the manager's job. Getting real world of his new

:20:34. > :20:42.team. He was still the Inverness manager on Saturday, but keep it yet

:20:43. > :20:46.for his new life at heavy onion. The teams he helped give the team he

:20:47. > :20:53.will be taking over a good footballing lesson. Assistant

:20:54. > :21:02.manager Maurice Malpas masterminded the victory. Compensation has been

:21:03. > :21:08.agreed with Inverness. How big is the job they are taking on? IBM in

:21:09. > :21:12.unknown seventh in the premiership. They are the lowest scoring team in

:21:13. > :21:22.Scotland. They have managed just two home league wins. The last trophy

:21:23. > :21:26.was one in six years ago. It is a huge challenge for Terry Butcher,

:21:27. > :21:28.but when you are in that industry, you will about yourself and be

:21:29. > :21:35.confident about what you could achieve. Maurice Malpas was offered

:21:36. > :21:41.the manager 's job at Inverness baton down to follow Terry Butcher.

:21:42. > :21:47.They leave Inverness Scally sitting second in the table had in the

:21:48. > :21:51.semifinals of the week. The club say they have been inundated with

:21:52. > :21:54.interest from potential new managers.

:21:55. > :22:03.Now, a look at what else is happening across Scottish sport...

:22:04. > :22:09.Barcelona star Lionel Messi will miss the Champions League tie with

:22:10. > :22:17.Celtic after tearing his hamstring. He faces two months out. They scored

:22:18. > :22:21.six tries against Japan, but the Scotland have injury concerns over

:22:22. > :22:32.five players before the match against South Africa. We feel we

:22:33. > :22:38.will have a good time team. We have to assess where some people are. We

:22:39. > :22:44.will put out a strong and competitive side at the weekend. The

:22:45. > :22:49.Scotland rugby league coach says the meeting with New Zealand in the

:22:50. > :22:55.quarterfinal of the World Cup will be one of the biggest challenges in

:22:56. > :23:06.sport. The face New Zealand in Leeds on Friday. Scottish sprint Skeeter

:23:07. > :23:15.shares fall into at the qualifying event was the most embarrassing

:23:16. > :23:22.event of her career. There appears to be able to the potential rematch

:23:23. > :23:28.between Ricky Barnes and the opponent who broke his jaw. The

:23:29. > :23:36.world boxing Association have not ratified the fight. And that is it

:23:37. > :23:39.for tonight. A ten-year-old girl from Stirling

:23:40. > :23:46.provided one of the most memorable moments of this weekend's Festival

:23:47. > :23:49.of Remembrance. Megan Adams is one of five daughters of servicemen

:23:50. > :24:06.chosen to sing this year's Poppy Appeal single The Call, but her

:24:07. > :24:10.performance ended with a surprise. There are not many ten-year-old

:24:11. > :24:17.girls who can say they have performed at the Royal another call.

:24:18. > :24:24.Her dad, who is serving with the Navy in the Indian Ocean would not

:24:25. > :24:39.be able to see her. Or so she thought. We have a surprise for you.

:24:40. > :24:45.After four months apart, father and daughter were reunited. When they

:24:46. > :24:50.said they had a surprise for me, I looked round at the screen and when

:24:51. > :24:57.the curtain open, they said, is that really my dad. Her father said he

:24:58. > :25:05.was delighted to be able to make this one. It was absolutely amazing.

:25:06. > :25:13.If someone could give me a list of 50 different emotions, it ticks

:25:14. > :25:16.every box. It was fantastic. I am indebted to everybody for the work
