:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight, on Reporting Scotland: Calls for the Orange Order to cancel
:00:10. > :00:11.a planned anti-independence march in Edinburgh.
:00:12. > :00:13.A 12-year-old girl was injured when a fight broke out during
:00:14. > :00:19.People heading to T in the Park are warned against taking
:00:20. > :00:23.A Viking longship docks in Lerwick harbour for repairs
:00:24. > :00:26.after her mast is snapped in strong winds and heavy seas.
:00:27. > :00:30.Bringing the baton to Barra: We're with the Commonwealth relay
:00:31. > :00:33.as it makes a flying visit to the Hebrides.
:00:34. > :00:37.And fashion forward or a tartan throwback?
:00:38. > :00:56.We'll assess those Commonwealth Games outfits.
:00:57. > :00:58.A leading member of the anti-independence campaign
:00:59. > :01:00.Better Together says an Orange Order march called "British Together"
:01:01. > :01:05.Labour MP Jim Murphy's comments come after a 12-year-old girl was
:01:06. > :01:08.injured in a fight during an Orange parade in Glasgow at the weekend.
:01:09. > :01:11.The order's "British Together" event is set to take place in Edinburgh
:01:12. > :01:14.just five days before Scotland votes in the independence referendum.
:01:15. > :01:30.This girl was injured as she watched Saturday's parade on Glasgow Green.
:01:31. > :01:36.The 12-year-old was hit by a bottle. She was treated for a head injury
:01:37. > :01:39.and later released. The first Saturday of July sees thousands of
:01:40. > :01:45.members take part in the county grand Orange Order parade in
:01:46. > :01:50.Glasgow. This year, 4500 people participated, 4000 watched, and they
:01:51. > :01:53.were 18 arrests. The grand Orange Lodge of Scotland has signed up to
:01:54. > :01:59.campaign for a no vote in the independence campaign, but it is
:02:00. > :02:02.not, and says it never has been part of Better Together. They plan to
:02:03. > :02:05.hold a British Together rally in Edinburgh in September, but the
:02:06. > :02:09.Better Together campaign say they don't want anything to do with the
:02:10. > :02:13.Orange Order. I want nothing to do with them, Better Together wants
:02:14. > :02:16.nothing to do with them, and in the referendum, I think we want people
:02:17. > :02:22.to have passionate and peaceful debate and disagreement. That's what
:02:23. > :02:24.Scots often do, and the elements that have attached themselves onto
:02:25. > :02:29.the edge of an Orange Order demonstration at the weekend before
:02:30. > :02:32.the big referendum, I think they are pretty unsavoury. Members of the
:02:33. > :02:35.Orange Order say they are deeply shocked about what happened to the
:02:36. > :02:40.girl at the weekend, but they are confident that the event in
:02:41. > :02:43.September will go well. The Orange Order has got very strong Unionist
:02:44. > :02:48.connections. It is No surprise that they take to the streets. That is
:02:49. > :02:51.what we do, public demonstration, and of course, demonstration is a
:02:52. > :02:56.perfectly legal and democratic way of expressing your views. So there
:02:57. > :02:59.is also nothing new about this particular rally. It has been two
:03:00. > :03:05.years in the planning, so that is the reason we are holding it. Today,
:03:06. > :03:09.Better Together and Yes Scotland were campaigning side-by-side. A
:03:10. > :03:13.spokesperson for Yes Scotland said: A feature of this campaign has been
:03:14. > :03:18.as peaceful, entirely constitutional and largely respectful nature,
:03:19. > :03:22.something they are sure will continue. Police are appealing for
:03:23. > :03:25.anyone who has any information about what happened to be 12-year-old girl
:03:26. > :03:30.here at Glasgow Green and Saturday to come forward. They say No one has
:03:31. > :03:42.been arrested in connection with this so far, and enquiries are
:03:43. > :03:46.ongoing. I am joined now by our political editor. The Orange Order
:03:47. > :03:51.has a long history of involvement in Scottish constitutional politics.
:03:52. > :03:55.Yes, and in politics more generally. Their origins traced back to support
:03:56. > :03:57.for the Protestant faith and the union within the wider
:03:58. > :04:01.constitutional settlement that is the UK, and it is perhaps more to do
:04:02. > :04:06.with the union of 1800 between Great Britain and Ireland, and as a
:04:07. > :04:10.consequence, in Northern Ireland, the Orange Order has had and still
:04:11. > :04:13.has political significance. In Scotland, their political
:04:14. > :04:18.significance in terms of party links and so on is considerably less, but
:04:19. > :04:23.they insist that they have a right, and they would probably say a duty,
:04:24. > :04:27.to campaign on behalf of the 1707 union between England and Scotland
:04:28. > :04:30.as well. There is renewed controversy over campaign pressure,
:04:31. > :04:35.with both sides levelling allegations against each other. Yes,
:04:36. > :04:39.there has been an exchange of letters between the First Minister
:04:40. > :04:43.and Bertie Armstrong, who has the Scottish fishermen's federation, and
:04:44. > :04:48.he does not like the tone of the letter he got from Mr Salmond. He
:04:49. > :04:52.felt that Mr Armstrong has swallowed a Tory line, but he called that a
:04:53. > :04:56.ridiculous interpretation. He says his comments are entirely fair and
:04:57. > :05:01.reasonable. Secondly, Professor Patrick Dunleavy from the LSE, who
:05:02. > :05:04.was talking about the start-up costs of independence, is reportedly
:05:05. > :05:08.saying the way that was turned round amounts to a dodgy dossier.
:05:09. > :05:13.Thirdly, Gavin Hewitt, former boss of the Scotch Whisky Association,
:05:14. > :05:18.who suggests pressure was applied to him by the SNP to stay neutral. The
:05:19. > :05:23.SNP resolutely denies that. The overall picture is, our politicians
:05:24. > :05:28.allowed to press their views on business leaders? When it would go
:05:29. > :05:32.to far would be if there was intimidation of any kind, aggressive
:05:33. > :05:38.behaviour, or undue pressure, suggesting that there was a link
:05:39. > :05:41.between the views of the business organisation and some dealings they
:05:42. > :05:44.might be having with government with politics. On both sides, Yes
:05:45. > :05:48.Scotland and Better Together are adamant there has been No such undue
:05:49. > :05:49.pressure applied. Thank you very much.
:05:50. > :05:51.A 43-year-old man has appeared in court charged with
:05:52. > :05:54.the attempted murder of a police officer in Edinburgh city centre.
:05:55. > :05:57.Steven Hendry was arrested following an incident on Friday in which
:05:58. > :06:00.The alleged attack took place on Princes Street at the foot
:06:01. > :06:04.Mr Hendry made no plea at Edinburgh Sheriff Court
:06:05. > :06:09.You're watching Reporting Scotland from the BBC.
:06:10. > :06:11.Still to come on tonight's programme:
:06:12. > :06:14.Why prisoners at Dumfries Jail are being getting joined by coaches
:06:15. > :06:28.And in sport, Europe's Ryder Cup captain has a message for Scottish
:06:29. > :06:30.golfers in the run-up to the showdown with US golfers at
:06:31. > :06:42.Gleneagles. And not the Tour de France: Find out what I have been up
:06:43. > :06:45.to and why. The Commonwealth battle and headed
:06:46. > :06:50.to the beach at Barrow this afternoon. Local people were ready
:06:51. > :06:53.and waiting to take over the relay. This is the world-famous beach
:06:54. > :06:59.runway on Barra. The only place in the northern hemisphere where the
:07:00. > :07:03.tide dictate the schedule. The plane has just landed, and on-board, as
:07:04. > :07:07.you can see, is the Queen's baton, and carrying it is a very special
:07:08. > :07:13.but on Barra. Our younger viewers might know this young lady. Perhaps
:07:14. > :07:21.you can tell us who you are? My name is cherry, but I play Katie Morag.
:07:22. > :07:26.Explain who Katie Morag is? She lives on an island and tells you
:07:27. > :07:30.about the island, and tells you about what she does. And it is an
:07:31. > :07:35.island like this one that inspired the books. Yes. What was like
:07:36. > :07:42.carrying the bat on today? It was exciting. It has been all over the
:07:43. > :07:48.world, everywhere, so this is its first journey to the Hebrides. Have
:07:49. > :07:54.you been told that that is a message from the Queen inside? Yeah. Did you
:07:55. > :07:58.try and read it? Kind of! Thank you very much. Be careful with that now.
:07:59. > :08:02.So the battle has just arrived on Barra. It will continue to the Outer
:08:03. > :08:04.Hebrides and later this week, it will go as far as Orkney.
:08:05. > :08:07.The organisers of T in the Park say anyone caught with
:08:08. > :08:09.legal highs at the festival will have them confiscated.
:08:10. > :08:11.It comes after so called 'herbal highs' were implicated
:08:12. > :08:18.Our reporter Julie Peacock joins me now.
:08:19. > :08:23.Julie, presumably because these are labelled as legal, it does not mean
:08:24. > :08:28.they are safety macro is that why the organisers are taking this
:08:29. > :08:32.step? That is exactly right. The organisers are saying they do not
:08:33. > :08:36.want any of these substances to be on the grounds. They say it is
:08:37. > :08:41.because they are extremely harmful substances that can be especially
:08:42. > :08:45.dangerous and do a lot of harm they are mixed with alcohol. They say
:08:46. > :08:49.that the term legal high or herbal high, as they are sometimes known,
:08:50. > :08:54.is also very misleading, as some of these substances are not meant to be
:08:55. > :09:00.fit for human consumption, and can kill. In 2012, there were 52 deaths
:09:01. > :09:04.in Scotland which were related to legal highs. These are substances
:09:05. > :09:08.which give a similar effect to ecstasy, but very often, they are
:09:09. > :09:14.sold as Bath salts or plant food as a way of getting around the law. But
:09:15. > :09:17.they are far from safe. In a recent UN study, doctors said they are
:09:18. > :09:20.actually powerless to treat people when they fall ill from taking legal
:09:21. > :09:26.highs because they simply don't know what they have taken. Isn't this a
:09:27. > :09:31.bit of a change in stance? Didn't there used to be stalls selling this
:09:32. > :09:35.stuff at T In The Park and other festivals? Yes, and T in the park
:09:36. > :09:39.has banned the sale of these substances for two years now. But
:09:40. > :09:42.before that, it was not uncommon to see stalls selling this kind of
:09:43. > :09:47.thing, not just at sea in the park, but that many other festivals. What
:09:48. > :09:51.is seen as a real increasing awareness of the danger these
:09:52. > :09:53.substances can cause, the Scottish Government is looking at the best
:09:54. > :09:57.way currently are trying to tackle it, with one new substance being
:09:58. > :10:02.discovered in Europe almost every week, really, the law is finding it
:10:03. > :10:12.difficult to catch up with these legal highs quickly enough. Many
:10:13. > :10:16.thanks. A date has been set for the Prime
:10:17. > :10:20.Minister's former aide Andy Coulson to face criminal proceedings in
:10:21. > :10:24.Scotland. This could be next month. The announcement follows" Asian of
:10:25. > :10:25.the phone hacking trial in London, in which the ex-News of the World
:10:26. > :10:27.editor was convicted. Now, a look at other stories
:10:28. > :10:29.from the across the country: Firefighters have welcomed an eight
:10:30. > :10:32.and a half year sentence handed down to a man who deliberately started
:10:33. > :10:35.a blaze at a tenement in Dundee. Brian Martin was sentenced
:10:36. > :10:38.at the High Court in Edinburgh after he was found guilty of wilfully
:10:39. > :10:41.starting the fire in April 2012. Lawyers acting for victims
:10:42. > :10:44.of a fatal outbreak of Legionnaires? disease in
:10:45. > :10:47.Edinburgh are going to court in a bid to secure documents they believe
:10:48. > :10:51.will help identify the source. Four people died during the
:10:52. > :10:55.outbreak that began in May 2012. An investigation by the Health
:10:56. > :10:58.and Safety Executive is ongoing but the families' lawyers will ask
:10:59. > :11:02.the Court of Session to release information that could determine
:11:03. > :11:06.whether they pursue a civil action. Police have confirmed that
:11:07. > :11:11.a body recovered from Loch Tay is 29-year-old Darren Gilpin from
:11:12. > :11:17.Edinburgh was canoeing with a friend in the Killin area when their boat
:11:18. > :11:21.overturned on Saturday afternoon. Mr Gilpin's companion made it
:11:22. > :11:24.ashore and raised the alarm. More than 100 residents who were
:11:25. > :11:29.evacuated from a high rise block of flats in Motherwell last Thursday
:11:30. > :11:32.have returned to their homes. North Lanarkshire Council provided
:11:33. > :11:36.emergency accommodation for them after Scottish Power electricians
:11:37. > :11:40.disturbed asbestos at Anderson Tower Specialist contractors worked
:11:41. > :11:45.through the weekend to fix The Glasgow Science Centre tower,
:11:46. > :11:49.which has been closed for four years,
:11:50. > :11:52.is to reopen a week on Saturday. The 127-metre high rotating tower
:11:53. > :11:57.which has been plagued with problems since it opened in 2001 has
:11:58. > :12:06.undergone a ?1.8 million revamp. A damaged replica Viking longship is
:12:07. > :12:10.spending another night in Lerwick harbour before setting off
:12:11. > :12:13.for Liverpool tomorrow. It limped into Shetland at
:12:14. > :12:17.the weekend after her mast snapped John Johnston has been to meet
:12:18. > :12:33.the latter-day Vikings on board. And sees, this group takes shelter
:12:34. > :12:36.in Lerwick harbour. They set off on their adventure across the North Sea
:12:37. > :12:41.from Norway on Wednesday. We had some wind in some waves, and quite a
:12:42. > :12:46.few people were seasick. But it was good tailing. We made quite good
:12:47. > :12:52.speed, and it was fun. The Viking longship is 114 feet long. It has a
:12:53. > :12:58.huge sale made a pure red silk, and when that is raised, it can reach
:12:59. > :13:02.speeds of 40 mph. The international crew of 30 are tracing the steps of
:13:03. > :13:07.the ancient warrior Harold, the first King of Norway, back in the
:13:08. > :13:12.ninth century. He often raided Scotland. We are attempting to
:13:13. > :13:16.retrace the steps of the Vikings and test the characteristics of this
:13:17. > :13:20.kind of ship under sail. Days into their journey, the boat was suddenly
:13:21. > :13:27.hit by a big wave on Friday, causing the mast to snap. The big waves
:13:28. > :13:36.became a little too much of our mast, so it broke, and it fell
:13:37. > :13:40.overboard. Although the replica longship is built along traditional
:13:41. > :13:44.lines, it does have two engines. Just as well. They are now planning
:13:45. > :13:45.to wait until they reach Liverpool in two weeks before getting a new
:13:46. > :13:48.mast. It's thought to be
:13:49. > :13:50.a unique collaboration between a Scottish prison

:13:53. > :13:54.working with prisoners at Dumfries Jail to give them a
:13:55. > :13:57.qualification in sports leadership. It's teaching the men life skills
:13:58. > :14:11.which, it's hoped, can help them Prisoners let off steam on the
:14:12. > :14:17.soccer field at Dumfries Jail. This is football, trying to show them
:14:18. > :14:23.another way. Helped each other, respect each other. The project is
:14:24. > :14:27.called More Chances, More Choices. It is funded by the lottery and
:14:28. > :14:31.fronted by Annan Athletic. The key thing is to insure these guys get a
:14:32. > :14:35.bit of their confidence back, and that they can use different types of
:14:36. > :14:38.communication. It just shows that there is actually potential there,
:14:39. > :14:43.there is good abilities, and all the guys have good attributes. It is
:14:44. > :14:49.just something to help bring that to the poor. Today, it is this man's
:14:50. > :14:54.turn to lead. Gym by his side coaches and encourages. It is the
:14:55. > :14:58.first time some of these men have been aware of time and money being
:14:59. > :15:01.focused on them as individuals, being treated as equals. The boys of
:15:02. > :15:08.never had anything like this project. This is the first time I've
:15:09. > :15:13.ever seen such programmes like this been on. Jim has been fantastic
:15:14. > :15:16.since he came in with us. It is a big encouragement for us. We're
:15:17. > :15:19.getting the encouragement to show that we are not all bad people, and
:15:20. > :15:26.that we are not reoffending, we can do other things. You must give it to
:15:27. > :15:32.somebody else! Football leadership skills course is only one of several
:15:33. > :15:35.collaborations with outside organisations going on inside
:15:36. > :15:38.Dumfries prison. We need to find out how to engage with each and every
:15:39. > :15:42.one of these guys, and we will do anything to get to that level,
:15:43. > :15:46.whether it is cookery skills, learning to be a good neighbour, or
:15:47. > :15:50.arts projects, everyone has something they will be interested
:15:51. > :15:53.in, and we will use that as a vehicle for change. The prisoners

:16:18. > :16:30.found out, I love the Gorbals. I love Glasgow.
:16:31. > :16:37.Everybody always says, I want to move out, but getting a gold medal
:16:38. > :16:41.is the only thing I am thinking about and training board. Whatever
:16:42. > :16:48.happens, a metal is something for your future. So this is the Gorbals,
:16:49. > :16:52.Joe. A place you know very well. When I first grew up here, I was
:16:53. > :16:55.just a little fat guy. If you ask anybody in the Gorbals my name, they
:16:56. > :17:00.would just prefer to me as a wee chubby guy. That was me. And when
:17:01. > :17:07.you were running about, where their kids everywhere? Yes, it has died
:17:08. > :17:13.down a bit now. It has got so much nicer. And primary school was just
:17:14. > :17:20.down the? Yes. What were you like to teach? I wasn't so bad behaviour
:17:21. > :17:23.wise. I just thought I knew best! Over the last few years, the Gorbals
:17:24. > :17:30.area has gone through a massive trans-formation.
:17:31. > :17:41.The flats Jo grew up in were finally demolished last summer. This is
:17:42. > :17:45.where the old flat used to be, Jo. Now just an empty space of land.
:17:46. > :17:51.What do you remember this? This used to be too high rise flats, 23
:17:52. > :17:56.stories high. One flat was here, the one I lived in, number 11. That's
:17:57. > :17:59.where I grew up till I was 14. It's quite appropriate we were standing
:18:00. > :18:02.here where you used to live. Talk me through your dreams and hopes up to
:18:03. > :18:05.the Commonwealth Games and after. I'm just looking forward to getting
:18:06. > :18:09.into the ring, getting the first year out of the way, going for six
:18:10. > :18:12.bytes in a few days and getting a gold medal. That is the only thing
:18:13. > :18:17.I'm thinking about and training for, a gold medal.

:18:20. > :18:21.European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley says Paul Lawrie
:18:22. > :18:24.and his fellow Scots still have a chance to play themselves into his
:18:25. > :18:28.The two Pauls were in exhibition mode in Aberdeen today ahead of this
:18:29. > :18:32.week's Scottish Open, but of course, talk of the Ryder Cup was never far
:18:33. > :18:47.Behold, a good old-fashioned golfing courtship, as Paul Lawrie welcomes
:18:48. > :18:53.Paul McGinley on a date with one thing on his mind. I'm not here to
:18:54. > :18:57.relax! I'm here to win, sure as Paul is. But it will be good fun, and we
:18:58. > :19:02.have known each other a long time. All lorry is well down the Ryder Cup
:19:03. > :19:06.rankings, but McGinley says he wants to be wooed. With his pedigree, you
:19:07. > :19:08.would love to see him back in the ring again. Being Scottish as well,
:19:09. > :19:15.and with the Ryder Cup being in Scotland, he may bloom late. We will
:19:16. > :19:19.have to see. Today's nine hole exhibition may not be the start of
:19:20. > :19:23.that run, but Paul Lawrie was keen to impress. McGinley will be keeping
:19:24. > :19:26.a close eye on this week's Scottish Open, and he is once again laying
:19:27. > :19:31.down the challenge for the home players. Now and the next kind of
:19:32. > :19:36.five or six weeks is really going to be the time I am honing in on what
:19:37. > :19:40.that for me is, who is playing well, and he was making a late run. In the
:19:41. > :19:45.end, Laurie's day ended a little flat, as McGinley secured a three
:19:46. > :19:50.stroke victory. Paul McGinley is the winner here. The question is this:
:19:51. > :19:59.Has the host done enough to impress his guest? He's got more to do, lots
:20:00. > :20:04.more left to do. Time, however, is running out. For all the Scots, they
:20:05. > :20:09.may culminate in Aberdeen this week. One of football's all-time greats
:20:10. > :20:11.Alfredo Di Stefano has died aged 88. The Argentine-born player has
:20:12. > :20:14.a special place in Scottish football history for
:20:15. > :20:16.the part he played in Real Madrid's European Cup win over Eintracht
:20:17. > :20:21.Frankfurt at Hampden in 1960. Now, a look at what else is
:20:22. > :20:34.happening across Scottish sport. Scotland international striker David
:20:35. > :20:38.Goode Willie poses in the colours of his new club Aberdeen. He has signed
:20:39. > :20:42.a one-year deal, and let the talking to his new manager. I think he
:20:43. > :20:46.brings a level of ability that will help us score more goals. I think
:20:47. > :20:52.all season, we fell short on that. Andy Murray's down to 10th in the
:20:53. > :20:55.tennis world rankings, his lowest position for six years. It follows
:20:56. > :20:58.his exit in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
:20:59. > :21:05.Diamond league athletics comes to Glasgow this weekend as a Scottish
:21:06. > :21:08.record for the 100 metres could be broken in the new Hampden track. The
:21:09. > :21:13.fastest time run in Scotland is 1007, so I am pretty sure it is an
:21:14. > :21:17.exciting prospect that that could get diminished as well. Read all
:21:18. > :21:22.about David Goode Willie and much more on the BBC sport Scotland
:21:23. > :21:25.website. And I have some more for you now,
:21:26. > :21:30.because injury will force one of the cycling world's biggest names to
:21:31. > :21:32.miss the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Mark Cavendish crashed in
:21:33. > :21:36.the early stages of the Tour de France at the weekend. The shoulder
:21:37. > :21:41.damage he sustained means he will miss the rest of the tour and
:21:42. > :21:45.Glasgow 2014. Staying with cycling, what do I have in common with
:21:46. > :21:48.Scotland's elite endurance cyclists? Not much, but I did
:21:49. > :21:52.volunteer to undertake some of the testing they have been doing ahead
:21:53. > :21:54.of the Glasgow 2014 games. If you have not had your dinner, you may
:21:55. > :22:09.want to look away. So, the purpose of the test today is
:22:10. > :22:15.to determine your VO two Macs, which is the maximum amount of oxygen that
:22:16. > :22:24.you can take from the air and using your muscles to provide energy for
:22:25. > :22:37.exercise. So, this should feel nice and secure. Three, two, one.
:22:38. > :22:48.Right, I would hold that on if I were you, because you are breathing
:22:49. > :22:57.quite nicely now. Good. Let's stop you there. That was fantastic.
:22:58. > :23:05.Excellent. Excellent. You are roughly averaging at 42 millilitres
:23:06. > :23:08.per kilogram per minute. Wow. That the number, that's your result. For
:23:09. > :23:12.someone who has not been on their bike for five years, I think you can
:23:13. > :23:18.take that. A cyclist coming in here representing Scotland would be in
:23:19. > :23:29.the 70s. Oh, my word. So you still have a long way to go to get that
:23:30. > :23:36.Scotland best! You are always saying to me, on your
:23:37. > :23:37.bike! Thank you, David. Talking about pets, what do you make of
:23:38. > :23:40.these? It's Team Scotland's Commonwealth
:23:41. > :23:41.Games uniform of course. A turquoise, fuschia
:23:42. > :23:43.and caramel tartan combined with Craig Anderson has been
:23:44. > :23:52.assessing reactions. It's a design certain to stir the
:23:53. > :23:58.blood, or maybe send your head spinning. The official Team Scotland
:23:59. > :24:03.uniform has definite references from the past, although from a time some
:24:04. > :24:07.would maybe possibly forget. I think it is truly shocking, absolutely
:24:08. > :24:11.shocking. It has been described as a cross between Brigadoon and the new
:24:12. > :24:14.seekers. I also think it looks a bit like a hospital gown or possibly
:24:15. > :24:20.something someone would have won in Littlewoods in the 1980s or 1970s.
:24:21. > :24:24.It is absolutely horrible. Shocking would be a word I would use.
:24:25. > :24:30.Interesting. Interesting colour styles, and it's one of those things
:24:31. > :24:35.where I thought, I thought I had loud tartan. But not everyone is
:24:36. > :24:38.turned up by the commendation of the future, turquoise and caramel
:24:39. > :24:43.tartan, twinned with light blue shirt and dresses. It's brilliant,
:24:44. > :24:47.vibrant, colourful, contemporary, and it is fun. It is everything the
:24:48. > :24:51.Commonwealth Games sets out to be, No sure everyone can join in the
:24:52. > :24:56.celebrations. Social media has been awash with the rugged three
:24:57. > :24:59.comments, although the key commentators, the team members,
:25:00. > :25:05.reckon it is a winner. A home games in Scotland, in
:25:06. > :25:07.Glasgow, and Team Scotland will be featuring 300 athletes plus
:25:08. > :25:11.management wearing this. It will make a statement, and it will have
:25:12. > :25:14.that impact from the start of the game all the way through. Scotland
:25:15. > :25:18.is not alone. The Australian swimwear kit has been savaged for
:25:19. > :25:23.directing the Observer's eye to the wearer's groin area. There was never
:25:24. > :25:31.any of that in the White Heather Club.
:25:32. > :25:38.And now, let's find out what is happening on Scotland 2014.
:25:39. > :25:41.We are taking you on a trip to Texas, where they have abolished
:25:42. > :25:45.local income tax. What has that got to do with us, you ask you macro
:25:46. > :25:48.well, they are an economy largely dependent on oil and looking for
:25:49. > :25:52.other ways to make money. They cannot control their own interest
:25:53. > :25:56.rates, but they can control taxes. So what are the lessons for an
:25:57. > :26:00.independent Scotland? And the rest of the country is totally about it,
:26:01. > :26:04.so we will as well. Yes, the Commonwealth Games uniforms. And
:26:05. > :26:10.now, the weather. Good evening. There is an east/ west
:26:11. > :26:16.split this week, with eastern areas getting a lot of dry weather,
:26:17. > :26:19.whereas the East sees a lot of rain later in the week. A few showers
:26:20. > :26:24.around at the moment, but they die away very quickly. Showers to end
:26:25. > :26:28.the day, and it looks like it could be dry overnight, and clear spells
:26:29. > :26:32.across the mainland. A little rain in the Western Isles during the
:26:33. > :26:35.overnight period. Some fairly extensive mist and low cloud feeds
:26:36. > :26:40.into the Northern Isles, with the odd missed patch elsewhere. Towns
:26:41. > :26:45.and cities holed up at around 10 Celsius, possibly as low as six in
:26:46. > :26:48.some rural parts, so it can be quite cold in places. Tomorrow morning
:26:49. > :26:51.start up largely dry and bright, but showers towards the south-east will
:26:52. > :26:55.start to get going during the morning, and the air spreads in
:26:56. > :27:00.throughout eastern Scotland. There is a yellow met up is warning out
:27:01. > :27:03.for these heavy showers. The main focus is Aberdeenshire, and parts of
:27:04. > :27:09.the Borders, and they will tend to set the high ground feature. Good
:27:10. > :27:12.spells coming through in the West. South-west Scotland in the
:27:13. > :27:19.afternoon, quite a lot of, and also warm. One or two showers around the
:27:20. > :27:23.Glasgow area, but mostly staying dry. Showers the North Argyll.
:27:24. > :27:25.Becoming drier towards the Outer Hebrides, one or two showers
:27:26. > :27:30.fringing the north coast, and even though it is fairly cloudy, some
:27:31. > :27:34.brightness pushing through at times. The main focus of any heavier
:27:35. > :27:38.showers will tend to be the Grampian area, in towards parts of Perthshire
:27:39. > :27:44.and also part of the western borders, or inland borders, I should
:27:45. > :27:48.say. Through the rest of the afternoon, some showers continue in
:27:49. > :27:52.the east, gradually dying away, and mostly dry during the overnight
:27:53. > :27:55.period. Mist coming in across the far north. Here is what happens at
:27:56. > :28:00.the end of the week. High pressure in the West, a lot of dry, settled
:28:01. > :28:08.weather. This low tries to push into the East, but eventually, it starts
:28:09. > :28:11.to dry later. And that is reporting Scotland. From
:28:12. > :28:15.everybody here, enjoy your evening. Goodbye.
