The Duke of Edinburgh is to miss tomorrow's commemorations marking

:00:12.:00:14.

the Battle of Jutland in Orkney following medical advice.

:00:15.:00:16.

Buckingham Palace say the 94-year-old will be represented

:00:17.:00:18.

The Duke's expected to resume engagements later this week.

:00:19.:00:27.

Meanwhile, final preparations are being made for the 100th

:00:28.:00:29.

anniversary of the battle, which claimed the lives

:00:30.:00:31.

This is a symbol of the two nations coming together to commemorate the

:00:32.:00:45.

Battle of Jutland tomorrow. In the distance, a frigate from the German

:00:46.:00:50.

navy. Closer to shore, the Royal Navy's HMS Kent. 100 years ago, on

:00:51.:00:55.

the eve of one of the biggest engagement in naval history, a

:00:56.:00:58.

battle cruiser squadrons slipped out of the Firth of Forth. It joined the

:00:59.:01:02.

Royal Navy's ran fleet which had sailed from Orkney to intercept the

:01:03.:01:06.

German high Seas Fleet. In the battle that followed, thousands of

:01:07.:01:11.

lives were lost. It is an overcast day, so exactly what it would have

:01:12.:01:14.

been like 100 years ago on the eve of the Battle of Jutland, when the

:01:15.:01:18.

two grand Fleet from Britain and Germany met each other. In those

:01:19.:01:25.

short 12 hours, huge attrition on both sides, some 8500 lives lost.

:01:26.:01:34.

The Battle of Jutland remains controversial. The vastly superior

:01:35.:01:39.

British fleet lost more men and more ships, but the German fleet remained

:01:40.:01:44.

pending for the remainder of the war. The British public and the

:01:45.:01:49.

Royal Navy were expecting a victory, a victory like Nelson. The result

:01:50.:02:02.

was a deep disappointment. Tomorrow, two vessels will fire 21 gun salutes

:02:03.:02:07.

as a commemoration, with services of commemoration being held.

:02:08.:02:11.

The jury in the trial of two women accused of murdering two-year

:02:12.:02:14.

old Liam Fee has been sent home without returning a verdict

:02:15.:02:17.

Rachel Fee and her civil partner Nyomi Fee deny murdering the toddler

:02:18.:02:25.

The couple say another young boy, who can't be identified for legal

:02:26.:02:28.

reasons, was responsible for Liam's injuries.

:02:29.:02:32.

The jury at the High Court in Livingston retired

:02:33.:02:34.

to consider their verdict on Friday and are expected to resume

:02:35.:02:37.

Police Scotland has been putting on show some of the air weapons

:02:38.:02:42.

handed in during the first week of an amnesty.

:02:43.:02:44.

So far, more than 2000 have been surrendered to police as part

:02:45.:02:47.

of the campaign which runs until the 12th of June.

:02:48.:02:49.

It allows owners to hand in their airguns ahead of new laws

:02:50.:02:52.

which will make it illegal to possess one without a licence

:02:53.:02:56.

We don't have an exact figure on how many might be out there. Air weapons

:02:57.:03:26.

haven't been licensed before and they are freely available to

:03:27.:03:28.

purchase in lots of different ways. What I do know, though, is that 2300

:03:29.:03:31.

in the first week is a fantastic total. I would like to thank the

:03:32.:03:34.

members of the public who handed in unwanted weapons.

:03:35.:03:35.

Two men have appeared in court charged with murdering a man

:03:36.:03:37.

by pushing him over a canal bridge and prising his hands away

:03:38.:03:40.

27-year-old Russell Robertson's body was discovered near Grahams Road

:03:41.:03:43.

in Falkirk around five o'clock yesterday morning.

:03:44.:03:45.

30-year-old Mark Munro and James Robertson, who's 26,

:03:46.:03:47.

Neither made any plea, and they were remanded in custody.

:03:48.:03:50.

Police in Inverness are investigating a report that

:03:51.:03:52.

a laser pen was aimed at a coastguard rescue helicopter.

:03:53.:03:55.

The aircraft was returning from Skye early yesterday morning when a green

:03:56.:03:58.

laser was shone into the aircraft's cockpit.

:03:59.:03:59.

It's thought it was aimed from the Merkinch area.

:04:00.:04:13.

Detectives have named a man who died during a disturbance in Girvan

:04:14.:04:16.

on Saturday morning as 44-year-old John Kiltie.

:04:17.:04:18.

Police were called after reports of an incident outside a house

:04:19.:04:20.

Two men, aged 24 and 18, have been arrested in connection

:04:21.:04:24.

The men made no plea and were remanded in custody.

:04:25.:04:35.

The average house price in Scotland's seaside towns has

:04:36.:04:37.

grown by almost 40 per cent over the past decade, according

:04:38.:04:40.

Prices since 2005 have increased from an average of around

:04:41.:04:44.

The biggest increases have been seen in Aberdeenshire, with

:04:45.:04:50.

Lerwick in Shetland saw the second biggest growth.

:04:51.:04:54.

Other big risers include Millport and Campbeltown.

:04:55.:04:58.

Football now, and Inverness Caley Thistle have appointed club captain

:04:59.:05:01.

The Irishman replaces John Hughes, who quit earlier this month

:05:02.:05:08.

following a row with the club's board over his transfer budget.

:05:09.:05:11.

Foran has been given a four-year contract describing his appointment

:05:12.:05:15.

as a great opportunity which he relished.

:05:16.:05:25.

The Scotland football manager says his players struggled to even

:05:26.:05:27.

pass the ball to each other in last night's friendly defeat to Italy.

:05:28.:05:30.

Gordon Strachan watched his team lose by one goal to nil in Malta.

:05:31.:05:33.

The Scots only managed one shot on goal in the entire match,

:05:34.:05:36.

and the national coach admits most of his players had a bad night.

:05:37.:05:44.

We were badly off the pace in terms of passing. Whatever people tell you

:05:45.:05:50.

about systems, it is about players being able to beat people and pass.

:05:51.:05:54.

We keep coming to this conversation every time. So, it is something I

:05:55.:06:01.

know. I wish someone would just listen to me.

:06:02.:06:05.

Plans have been unveiled for a unique tilting pier over

:06:06.:06:08.

The see-saw structure is part of a ?750,000 public art project

:06:09.:06:11.

which its backers say will bring an economic and cultural

:06:12.:06:14.

Critics, though, have condemned the proposals, at a time

:06:15.:06:17.

when the local authority is imposing severe budget cuts.

:06:18.:06:22.

:06:23.:06:27.
