100 days until the Holyrood election - | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
the campaign for your vote starts to inflate. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The storm which brought snow to the US brings gales to Scotland, | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
but the engineers building the Queensferry Crossing say it'll | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
Haggis pakora and a Syrian take on Auld Lang Syne - | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
it's a Burns night with a difference. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Also on the programme, the jarl squad is on the loose. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
The Vikings are in charge in Lerwick, where the annual | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
100 days until Scotland goes to the polls to choose the next | :00:47. | :01:08. | |
While Labour's Kezia Dugdale insists she can turn round her party's poor | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
showing at recent elections, the SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon says | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
she's taking nothing for granted, and fighting for every vote, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
aiming to keep her party the party of Government. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Here's our political editor, Brian Taylor. | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
Labour's Scottish leader talks tactics with Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
Cabinet. Polls suggest Labour is struggling in Scotland, Kezia | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Dugdale says it is her job to turn that round. It is a challenging | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
time, the polls are evidence of that but I'm determined to turn that | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
around. I am upbeat about the future and faced with a choice between | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
using the new powers of the parliament to invest in education or | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
to continue to manage austerity like the SNP are doing, I know which one | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
Scots will choose. Nicola Sturgeon defends the SNP's record in power | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
but looks to the future. There is much more we need to do. Education | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
is top of my agenda, we need to reshape and reform the health | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
service, and make sure we are supporting a knowledge innovation | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
led economy so we have big ideas and big ambitions in this campaign and I | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
look forward to persuading people to put their trust in us. Ruth Davidson | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
says she is ready to tackle the challenge as principal opposition at | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Holyrood. I would say to people out there if you don't change the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Government, think about changing the opposition, have an opposition that | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
will truly hold the Government to account. We will always stand up for | :03:00. | :03:14. | |
Scotland's place in the UK. People in Scotland like their liberal | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
values of investing in education, protecting the NHS and what's best | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
about it, but also safeguarding civil liberties and the environment. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
People like those policies, that package is progressive and positive | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
and that's why I think more and more people will come back to the Liberal | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Democrats. Enduring the inclement climate in Glasgow, the Greens save | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
can move up the Holyrood ranks with focus on the environment. There is | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
no reason we couldn't overtake the Liberal Democrats to become the | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
fourth party, but the Liberal Democrats to become the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
thing is to get the Liberal Democrats to become the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
about the direction Scotland can go in. A fairer, more sustainable and | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
healthy society. Told you these elections were a big deal! The | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Electoral Commission and the homeless charity Shelter have urged | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
everyone to register to vote, but don't worry the ballot box that you | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
feel should be to scale. -- that you fill. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
More from Brian in a moment, but first, before a single vote | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
is cast it's already clear that fewer than one in five of the MSPs | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
in the next parliament will have served continuously | :04:28. | :04:28. | |
since the new Scottish Parliament convened in 1999. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Our political correspondent, Glenn Campbell, takes a look | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Douglas Ross running the line at Peterhead's weekend match against | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
Dunfermline. Soon he will be running Peterhead's weekend match against | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
for office as the Conservatives' lead candidate in the Highlands and | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Islands. People don't want serious politicians who stand up in the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
chamber, make a speech and vote on something, they want some body with | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
outside experience and sport is something a lot of people are | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
interested in. The SNP he hopes to succeed is Mary Scanlon. Sometimes I | :05:08. | :05:21. | |
get a bit angry and frustrated so I think it is time for me to move on | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and let someone else pick up the mantle. More than 20 MSPs are | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
standing down at the selection including almost half the Tory | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
group. The next Scottish parliament will bear very little resemblance to | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
the first. Of those elected back in 1999, almost three quarters will | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
have gone, and of those who would like another term only 24 have | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
served continuously since the start. Those who are in here over the next | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
five years should have much more power than any of their | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
predecessors, as Holyrood takes on the extra tax and welfare | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
responsibilities recommended by the Smith Commission on further | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
devolution. They will be operating in a climate that is not as generous | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
financially, and they may well have a lot more responsibilities within | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
that, making decisions that lead to generating more revenue as well as | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
spending it. There will be some difficult debates. Debate past | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
leaders could avoid, but at this election it is not just the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
personalities that will change, so too will the priorities and powers | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
of the Scottish Parliament. Brian, the changing face of Holyrood | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
there, what'll be different What is going to be really different | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
is the point made about taxation, the debate about education, the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
health service, transport, in short about public spending. On this | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
occasion in the next 100 days all parties will have to spell out their | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
plans on tax, and talk about how they will replace or amend Council | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
tax, their plans for business rates and above all what they will do with | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
the new powers coming Holyrood's away on income tax and rates in | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Scotland. They are big questions and that is why this is a really big | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
election. You're watching Reporting | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
tonight's programme... Turning a classroom into a classy | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
restaurant to whet young appetites In sport, a home has been | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
found for East Kilbride in their Scottish Cup | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
tie against Celtic. Elsewhere the Braveheart of France | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
'98 says today's Scotland players And we report from Melbourne, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
where the feel-good factor is having a very positive effect | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
on the Murrays down under. The engineers in charge | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
of the construction of the Queensferry Crossing say | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
they're using every available break in the winter weather to ensure | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
the bridge can be completed, as scheduled, by | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
the end of this year. The project directors | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
insist confidence remains Our transport correspondent, | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
David Miller, reports. Take a look at the future. The | :08:17. | :08:29. | |
Queensferry Crossing is now less than a year from completion. This | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
remarkable drone footage reveals the progress being made. Construction | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
remains under budget and on schedule, despite the winter | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
weather. This this is the first break in the weather we have had | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
here all day. The rain has stopped for the moment but as you can | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
probably see, the wind remains strong, and all of that has an | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
impact out there, where high winds can play havoc with the schedule. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Sections of the deck cannot be slotted into place in high winds, | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
that can mean a long and frustrating wait for workers. We took a section | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
out there on the barge, we had it sitting underneath the South Pier | :09:10. | :09:20. | |
all day. It looked as if it wasn't going to be able to go, but we knew | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
there was a chance of a lull, and they got finished at 2am in the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
morning. Bosses say that once it is complete, the new crossing will be | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
well-placed to withstand the elements. The wires are coated in | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
wax, then encased in this sheathing. The wires were exposed for a year or | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
so before they were protected against the elements, and when they | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
were protected a lot of moisture was already in the cable at that point | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
before so that is the fundamental difference between the two. It is | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
still hard to believe the first vehicles are due to cross this | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
bridge in December, much remains to be done but plans are already under | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
way for the opening celebrations. of America brought heavy rain | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
and winds to much of Scotland today. High winds upturned | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
two lorries on the A1. Pupils in Aberfoyle had to be | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
rescued from a flooded school. And in Edinburgh a bus passenger | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
was injured after a chimney smashed Two lorries upturned by gusts of | :10:20. | :10:33. | |
wind on the A1 this morning, and exposed stretch. For the two | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
drivers, a lucky escape. In the capital the high winds were | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
responsible for another close call. In Edinburgh there were dramatic | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
scenes earlier when a chimney pot fell from one of the buildings and | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
smashed into the window of a boss. It left a passenger injured. The | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
road remained closed for much of the day. As the rain hammered down and | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
winds swept through there was transport disruption. Waves crashed | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
over the train line, and in Stornoway waves battered against the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
shore. Much of the afternoon was spent pumping water away on the A9. | :11:13. | :11:25. | |
On the M8 carriageway was closed for a while. It is persistent rain, not | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
necessarily a downpour, it is just constant. The hills are wet, the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
water is running off them onto the road network. Even though the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
drainage system is running free, that amounts of water on the road to | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
the drainage system cannot cope with. Firefighters were called out | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
to a flooded school in Aberfoyle and rescued 22 people. But the bad | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
weather always brings joy to some, this windsurfer was catching very | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
big waves in Troon. With more rain on its way tonight, maybe it is time | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
to get home and dry. Tony Blair says he thinks Scotland | :12:05. | :12:16. | |
will become an independent country if the UK votes to break away | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
from the European Union. Speaking to a French Radio station, | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
the Former Prime Minister added that he hopes voters | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
in the forthcoming EU referendum First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
there would be "overwhelming demand" for a second independence vote, | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
should Scotland be taken out of Europe despite | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
choosing to stay in. As Burns Night was marked | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
across the country, refugees from Syria and elsewhere | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
were welcomed to a multicultural Burns supper in Glasgow, | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
all part of efforts to help them understand more about | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Scottish culture. The aim was to celebrate a fusion | :12:54. | :12:54. | |
of music and customs from different But how's it all working | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
in practice for the most Sarah Toom went along to the city's | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
fruit market to find out. The Burns Night with a twist. Meyer | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
Youssef played to an audience including some of her countryfolk, | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
refugees. The idea was the fusion of their customs with Scottish culture. | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
TRANSLATION: The confusing things I arrived included that I really need | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
services to help bring us together. Things like what it is appropriate | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
to do, what it is not appropriate to do, what do people like, what people | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
don't like. Knowing the language is crucial. This man came to Glasgow | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
with his family a year ago, he still doesn't speak much English, but are | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
people getting appropriate help from authorities for learning English, | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
and mental health support? I have seen people destroyed completely. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
When they arrived at the country they welcomed them at the airport, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
but they don't know they need to show more support rather than | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
welcome them and give them hugs. They need to give them more trauma | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
support and enable them to fit in in the country. Sharing food at a Burns | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
supper is another way of helping communities to mix. Already many | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Scots are helping refugees to settle in. Burns' lines shows he can | :14:21. | :14:32. | |
Scots are helping refugees to settle recognise the herd people have, and | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
the response has been one of humanity. Events like this one | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
symbolise the intention for refugees to participate and thrive in | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Scottish society without losing their own sense of national | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
identity, and as more continue to arrive, we will see whether that | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
symbolic fusion translates into reality. | :14:56. | :15:44. | |
A man has been arrested after a shopkeeper was shot | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
in the leg during an attempted robbery at a convenience store | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
The 25-year-old, who's been detained, is expected to appear | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Figures out today show there were no lives lost in accidents on the A9 | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
between Inverness and Dunblane during the second half of last year. | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
It's the longest period of time without a fatal crash on the road | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Safety groups say it's clear that average speed cameras, | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
installed last October, are saving lives. | :16:08. | :16:08. | |
Councillors in Glasgow have taken the unusual step of backing | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
a controversial housing development and an opposing plan to keep | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
Planning committee members gave approval for 60 flats to be built | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
on former playing fields in the city's west end. | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
They also backed plans by the North Kelvin Meadow group, | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
who have transformed the derelict land in recent years. | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
A final decision will be taken later. | :16:25. | :16:25. | |
Scotland's multi-million pound hospitality industry is finding it | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
So it's trying to get across to young people that it can | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
An initiative got off the ground today to take that message | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
As Andrew Anderson discovered, it's meaning a temporary | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Scotland's hotels, restaurants and bars are finding it increasingly | :16:39. | :16:59. | |
difficult to find skilled workers. We have no chefs in Scotland that | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
are available at the moment. We estimate about 3,000 chef vacant | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
cyst across Scotland. If young people are interested in working | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
with food and drink there are qualification, skills and training | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
and good wages. A number of classrooms have been transformed | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
into a mock hotel, restaurant and spa. It's hand on experience for the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
pupils. We want our young people to leave our school with all the | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
employable skills required. It's not just about qualifications, which our | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
young people get, it's about the soft skills, organisational skills, | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
communication skills, people skills, working as a team. We want them to | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
communication skills, people skills, be able to do that. The organisers | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
hope this event will change perceptions about hotel and | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
restaurant work to show them there can be a rewarding career. Have they | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
succeeded? I've learned new skills, I've learnt different job | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
opportunities if I didn't want to go down the further education route I | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
could go into catering and things. It's planned to roll it out to other | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
schools across Scotland to help youngsters find job and an | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
increasingly important industry to find staff. Now the sport. | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
The man known as Braveheart, who led Scotland at our last | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
World Cup, says too many of today's internationals play | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
The former Scotland skipper, Colin Hendry, is referring | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
to the English Championship and says that might be why we haven't | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
qualified for a major championship since France '98. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
David Currie has been speaking to him and another | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Introducing the antigravity treadmill, newly installed it uses | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
NASA technology to speed recovery from injury. If only there were a | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
contraption to hasten the national team's recovery. These men aren't | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
rocket scientists, but one has a theory about what's gone wrong. The | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
problem is that some of the players, a lot of the players, aren't playing | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
at the top of the tree. The part of their develop am would come as part | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
of playing in the Premiership and top of the tree. A lot of players | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
are alike to be selected by Scotland. Because of the money they | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
are content and happy. Qualifying for the 2018 World Cup starts this | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
autumn. Gordon Strachan and company facing England, Slovakia, Lithuania | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
and Malta. I think we have enough talent, yeah, to qualify. It has got | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
better. I don't think anybody can argue with that fact. What got | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
better? Performance level. The way the team and the squad are | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
improving. Performance level. We maybe just lack a goal. Space age | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
technology will never solve Scottish football ills, if there was a | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
miracle machine what would it be used for. Recarnate another Kenny | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
Dalgleish. We're working on it! Yes, indeed. | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
The SFA have confirmed East Kilbride's Scottish Cup tie | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
against Celtic next month will now be played at Airdrie's Excelsior | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
The match was supposed to be played at Hamilton's New Douglas Park, | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
East Kilbride, seen here beating Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
in the last round, held talks with the SFA today | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
and it was decided Airdrie's 10,000 capacity stadium will be used | :20:31. | :20:33. | |

Now, to Scotland's other big Cup competition. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
The St Johnstone Chairman, Steve Brown, says it's | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
an "unnacceptable fiasco" that Hibernian fans have three times | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
as many tickets as Saints supporters for their League Cup | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
It's being staged at Tynecastle and Brown believes the SPFL's | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
decision-making process on ticket allocation has been "outrageous." | :21:09. | :21:23. | |
It's been older brother Jamie grabbing the limelight - | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
chasing not one, but two Grand Slam titles. | :21:27. | :21:40. | |
chasing not one, but two about the Brits who could be | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
contesting four semi-finals here this week. Two of them could involve | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
Jamie Murray, one of them will. He is through to the semi-finals of the | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Doubles with his Brazilian partner, Bruno Soares. They now play against | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
each other in the mixed-doubles tomorrow. Bruno is trash talking | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
already. Take him out of his comfort zone. What happens now, you don't | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
speak to each other for the next 24-hours? After this interview we're | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
done until tomorrow afternoon. System is shut down. I don't want to | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
see him any more. The focus switches to the younger Murray brother, Andy, | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
in quarter-final action tomorrow morning against Ferrera of Spain. He | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
has tremendous respect for the way Andy Murray's game has come on in | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
the past 12 months. He is playing really good. He finished Number HMRC | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
two in the World. He improved his game. Game. He improved his forearm. | :22:41. | :22:52. | |
I will try to do my best. Ferrera are expected at 3.3 o 0pm tomorrow | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
morning after Britain's Johanna Konta plays her quarter-final | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
against the Chinese qualifier. It could be quite a week indeed for | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
British tennis here Down Under. Shetland's world famous celebration | :23:03. | :23:35. | |
of its Viking heritage is building The highlight of the Up Helly Aa | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
fire festival is the torchlit procession through Lerwick, | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
and the burning of a replica galley. The organisers are hoping | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
the weather will improve Up Helly Aa starts in Lerwick with a | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
parade through the streets. This is Up Helly Aa starts in Lerwick with a | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
the first time the public gets to see this year's costumes and it's | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
the first time the public gets to arousing start to the world-famous | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
fire festival. These are the men around whom Lerwick rotates for the | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
next 24-hours. They parade, they feast, they are greeted by a civic | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
reception and visit schools, hospitals, care centres and the like | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
often meeting people who would have difficulty getting outside to see | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
them in action. Since it began a in the 1880s has never caused Up Helly | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
Aa to be called off or delayed it. It has been a wet and windy start to | :24:26. | :24:37. | |
this year's festival. It has lived up to my expectations. It's been | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
great. The boys are doing me proud. Carry on. Exclude the weather and | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
carry on. Carry on he does, as do the hundreds of locals and visitors | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
who have turned out to watch so far. People are Hardy here, as far as the | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
weather is concerned, they just don't let that affect them. You | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
know, it's a lot of fun. -- hardy. The weather, you forget it's there. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
The weather is meant to improve for the climax of the festival, the | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
torch-lit procession of almost 1,000 guys and the burning of the galley | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
after that it won't matter that much as the party continues indoors until | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
breakfast tomorrow. Hardy souls in Shetland. We can stay | :25:24. | :25:35. | |
with the weather. Christopher is here with the weather. Any sign a | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
let-up in the weather that has caused so much havoc? Yes, briefly. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Hello there plenty of rain and wind. One of our Weather K Wafflers | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
captured the scene in Aberfoyle. This evening will be dry, but the | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
rain will turn later -- Weather Watchers. There is a Met Office | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
warning in force. The rain will march northwards and falling as snow | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
as it meets the colder air on high ground to the north of the central | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
belt. Really quite grim conditions if you are journeying overnight on | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
high roads like the A9. Tomorrow the rain should clear through quickly. A | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
lot of standing water on the roads to deal with. By the afternoon | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
showers will arrive from the west as well. By mid afternoon a fairly | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
showery picture. The winds freshening from the west. Nothing as | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
strong as today. After a fairly light morning of wind it will ramp | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
up as we head through the day. Quite chilly as well at times, six or | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
seven Celsius in the north. Certainly the showers across the | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
highland region will be wintry perhaps down to low levels. It's | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
rain for Auckney and Shetland, breezy though from the west, | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
south-west. As we head through the rest of the afternoon into the | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
evening the showers will continue. We are dragging in colder air. The | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
risk of a few wintry showers further east and indeed further south. | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
Looking ahead towards Thursday. That showery westerly continues. Then, as | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
we head through towards Thursday evening, the weather front brings a | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
spell of heavier persistent rain. Thursday, a dry start to the east, | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
the showers coming in, again one or two wintry, that heavier rain | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
arriving as we head through towards the evening and lasting as we head | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
through Tiger Woods Friday morning too. That's the forecast. Sally. | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
Christopher, thank you very much, you have had a very long day. | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
I'll be back with the headlines at 8.00pm and the late bulletin just | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team - right | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
across the country - have a very good evening. | :28:01. | :28:08. |
