:05:27. > :05:32.we can be strong enough to be on our own. We have control of our own

:06:18. > :06:20.poll understandably hoping there is a formula that can calculate whether

:06:42. > :06:49.result of the European referendum could lead to another referendum on
:06:50. > :06:57.independence here? The SNP generally are seeing they currying favour of
:06:58. > :07:01.the EU in principle. Brexit could trigger a demand for a further
:07:02. > :07:06.independence referendum. I do not believe it is automatic. There could
:07:07. > :07:12.be some who would say that in the event of British exit there is a
:07:13. > :07:16.climate of uncertainty, and they do not necessarily want to add to that
:07:17. > :07:21.with Scottish independence. Nicola Sturgeon does not want a demand, she
:07:22. > :07:26.wants to know for certain or as certain as things can be that people

:16:13. > :16:16.This experiment is turning that argument on its head. The range of
:16:17. > :16:22.such cars is increasing, the time to charges reducing and this has
:16:23. > :16:27.created a network of charging points. We have seven public
:16:28. > :16:33.charging points. Two of them are rapid charging points in Tobermory
:16:34. > :16:38.and one elsewhere. You can charging less than half an hour and get it on

:17:17. > :17:20.about what I'm doing. I am conscious about what I do. I have tried to be
:17:21. > :17:24.that way for the last few years and I have always strived to be fuel
:17:25. > :17:29.efficient. But there is extra incentive now because it is running
:17:30. > :17:32.out. Anyone planning a long journey of the island would still have to
:17:33. > :17:37.resort to the internal combustion engine, but this project is proving

:17:54. > :17:55.that's the view of Scotland assistant coach Nathan Hines

:18:10. > :18:24.time in a long time - What a try for George North!
:18:25. > :18:29.certainly have it now. So far, so what for Scotland. 26 Nations
:18:30. > :18:35.matches and two defeats. 96 Nations defeats in a row for Scotland. Next
:18:36. > :18:40.up, Italy in Rome. If Scotland did not get a win, it would be ten
:18:41. > :18:45.matches without a victory. Are we into the realms of crisis at that
:18:46. > :18:49.point? You tell me. I am worried if we lose one game. Does it feel like
:18:50. > :18:53.there is extra pressure? No. The only pressure is on ourselves. We do
:18:54. > :18:57.not carry any more pressure just because we have lost two games. We
:18:58. > :19:04.have seen improvement. If we carry more pressure than we have to, it is
:19:05. > :19:09.going to be too much of a weight to bear. Scotland's last Six Nations
:19:10. > :19:14.victory came back in 2014 against Italy. For some, defeat on Saturday
:19:15. > :19:19.would be too much to bear. A huge crisis throughout Scottish rugby.
:19:20. > :19:23.This is one of the worst Italian sides for many years. If Scotland
:19:24. > :19:27.lose this, it will be catastrophic. No-one is hurting more than the
:19:28. > :19:31.players. We are desperate to get that win and set the record
:19:32. > :19:36.straight. I think the whole country is desperate for that. We're trying
:19:37. > :19:41.to go out and do everything we can. If Scotland lose to Italy, it would
:19:42. > :19:47.be a tense Six Nations defeat in a row. -- a 10th. The Scotland camp
:19:48. > :19:48.don't want to hear about crisis but Saturday's match in Rome is

:20:45. > :20:47.that this is bigger than the Commonwealth Games. Because the
:20:48. > :20:51.quality of the athletes in many sports will be higher and will be a
:20:52. > :20:55.real work level. Some of them will already be thinking about Tokyo
:20:56. > :21:01.2020. It is a mouthwatering opportunity for the public. There is

:21:25. > :21:28.want to continue working with the governing bodies to see if we can

:22:17. > :22:18.to seal their place in Canada next month.
:22:19. > :22:20.Then in April, Tom Brewster's men will represent Scotland
:22:21. > :22:22.in Switzerland, having beaten David Murdoch's team
:22:23. > :22:34.We have about three weeks until we had to Canada so we are going to
:22:35. > :22:38.train just as hard, and hopefully play as well out in Canada. We have
:22:39. > :22:43.done a lot of hard work since the Christmas and it has paid off this
:22:44. > :22:44.week. We just need to go and hopefully bring our a game and who
:22:45. > :22:47.knows. BBC 2 will bring you highlights from
:22:48. > :22:50.the Scottish Curling Championships tonight and tomorrow night -

:23:04. > :23:09.they have learned lessons from a winless World Cup
:23:10. > :23:14.campaign last year. Hamish Henderson's songs
:23:15. > :23:22.are still known internationally. For example "Freedom Come A' Ye"
:23:23. > :23:24.was sung at the opening But makers of a new documentary
:23:25. > :23:30.felt the man himself Our arts correspondent
:23:31. > :23:47.Pauline McLean's has had a preview. He was a poet, a singer and
:23:48. > :23:54.songwriter. As well as writing his own songs, gathered those around the
:23:55. > :24:03.country, safeguarding them for future generations. How did your own
:24:04. > :24:07.folks tell their stories? While the songs were saved, the makers of this
:24:08. > :24:12.film felt that Hamish Henderson himself was in danger of being
:24:13. > :24:19.forgotten. They searched archive, including unseen family film, and
:24:20. > :24:23.spoke to 22 others spoke -- of his closest friends about the man and
:24:24. > :24:26.his music. One of his biggest contributions was to be involved in
:24:27. > :24:30.setting up the School of Scottish studies, the archive that contains
:24:31. > :24:37.the last glimmerings of the oral culture, the Cilic singers, so many
:24:38. > :24:40.different aspects of Scottish life recorded for posterity. So much
:24:41. > :24:45.about lives on in the spirit of Celtic connections, biggest winter
:24:46. > :24:52.festival of music in the world. And that is down to Hamish in many
:24:53. > :25:01.respects. He was the standard bearer that music renaissance in Scotland
:25:02. > :25:05.to happen. The South African singer shared Hamish Henderson's most
:25:06. > :25:11.famous song with an international audience at the opening of the
:25:12. > :25:15.Commonwealth Games. The makers of Hamish hope that their film, which
:25:16. > :25:16.has its world premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival tomorrow, will
:25:17. > :25:21.do the same or the songwriter. Now here's Andrew Kerr
:25:22. > :25:34.with details of Scotland 2016. Another day of drama at Westminster.
:25:35. > :25:37.As the gloves come off in the European referendum campaign. In the
:25:38. > :25:40.studio and in Brussels, we will be hearing from those strongly in
:25:41. > :25:45.favour of staying in and those passionately against. And we will
:25:46. > :25:50.have the latest on talks for a new funding deal for Scotland. Join me
:25:51. > :25:54.at 10:30pm on BBC Two. Here is Judith with the weather. Good
:25:55. > :26:00.evening. It has been a pretty beautiful day across much of the
:26:01. > :26:10.country, captured here by one of our weather watchers in Stirling. High
:26:11. > :26:16.pressure, pulling into the North. Clean, fresh air. This setup means a
:26:17. > :26:28.lot of dry, sunny, but cold weather for Scotland. We still have a number
:26:29. > :26:34.of wintry showers, and will be a risk. A Met Office weather warning
:26:35. > :26:37.for showers across northern Scotland. Temperatures down to
:26:38. > :26:47.freezing widely, if not a few degrees slower. It will be a cold
:26:48. > :26:51.start, across northern Scotland, but actually it looks like being a
:26:52. > :26:59.beautiful day. Good, sunny spells, and always the risk of showers
:27:00. > :27:03.across northern parts. Again, dry interludes, but quite a brisk wind
:27:04. > :27:12.across northern isles. Making it feel cold. Showers for the Northern
:27:13. > :27:16.parts of the Western Isles, and the Cairngorms, beautiful sunny spells
:27:17. > :27:21.in the lowlands. In the sunshine, it will feel fairly pleasant. And
:27:22. > :27:24.nothing changes as we head towards the evening, holding onto dry
:27:25. > :27:26.conditions with showers in the north. A widespread frost
:27:27. > :27:31.re-establishing itself tomorrow night. It could be even colder
:27:32. > :27:36.tomorrow night then we see tonight. For Wednesday, across the UK it is a
:27:37. > :27:40.dry picture, and it will be a very frosty start on Wednesday. We may
:27:41. > :27:43.well see just a few showers across the far south initially but clearing
:27:44. > :27:48.away. Always holding on to wintry showers in the North, and a fairly
:27:49. > :27:53.fresh north-westerly wind making it feel cold in the south. In the wind,
:27:54. > :27:58.not feeling too bad. That is the forecast.
:27:59. > :28:02.I'll be back with the headlines at 8 and the late bulletin just
:28:03. > :28:05.Until then, from everyone on the team - right
:28:06. > :28:11.across the country - have a very good evening.
