:00:00. > :00:00.tomorrow's talks when he will try to persuade Russia to end its support

:00:00. > :00:08.of Syria's President. the crisis in care provision caused

:00:09. > :00:18.by a shortage of workers This is something happening all over

:00:19. > :00:27.Scotland, all over England as well. Also on the programme,

:00:28. > :00:30.We get a look at the giant ship that's going to lift almost

:00:31. > :00:32.an entire oil platform The remarkable story

:00:33. > :00:35.of a family torn apart in the 1950s and the years

:00:36. > :00:37.they spent trying How the country's

:00:38. > :00:40.biggest lottery winners are helping to transform

:00:41. > :00:46.Partick Thistle's future. but it still only came second

:00:47. > :01:05.in a UK-wide survey. The shortage of carers in Scotland

:01:06. > :01:09.is reaching crisis point. The organisations that represents

:01:10. > :01:11.independent care providers says nine out of ten of its members

:01:12. > :01:15.cannot fill vacancies. It comes on the day figures

:01:16. > :01:19.from England showed 900 social-care workers there

:01:20. > :01:22.leave their jobs every day. Our health correspondent

:01:23. > :01:26.Lisa Summers has been to meet a couple from East Lothian

:01:27. > :01:42.who are struggling to cope. OK? I will put baby here, you are

:01:43. > :01:49.OK. Mary Turnbull and 78. The former schoolteacher was diagnosed with

:01:50. > :01:53.dementia five years ago. Mary was the strong one in the

:01:54. > :01:57.family, the homemaker, the provider, the person that did all the cooking.

:01:58. > :02:02.Now the roles are reversed, Mary, there is some biddy waiting to see

:02:03. > :02:07.you. But it is certainly isolated, you have nobody else to talk to. The

:02:08. > :02:13.buck stops with me, basically. Who is this? Me with my hands in my

:02:14. > :02:19.pockets... Her husband does have some care in place for his wife, but

:02:20. > :02:24.despite offering to top up wages, he cannot get the help he needs. The

:02:25. > :02:28.fact that I have lost a lot of care during the week means that I am

:02:29. > :02:33.doing a lot of the caring, in the evening, for example, seven days a

:02:34. > :02:39.week. I have to take upstairs, undresser, put her in her pyjamas,

:02:40. > :02:43.put her to bed. Scottish Cares say nine out of ten of their members

:02:44. > :02:49.report struggling to recruit staff. They say care homes have been forced

:02:50. > :02:54.to close with the same problems in the community too. If you can earn

:02:55. > :02:58.?1 50 more down the road with a supermarket, compared to the really

:02:59. > :03:02.challenging and difficult experience of caring for somebody, however

:03:03. > :03:08.rewarding that is, many people have to pay mortgages, and with bills

:03:09. > :03:14.rising, giving up their job of care in order to earn a living. The

:03:15. > :03:18.Government says it has try to encourage people into the care

:03:19. > :03:21.industry by introducing the living wage, but it feeds into a bigger

:03:22. > :03:26.picture of problems with the integration of health and social

:03:27. > :03:30.care. For example, there are still too many people unable to get home

:03:31. > :03:41.from hospital, simply because care packages are not there for them.

:03:42. > :03:44.Michael says the care they do receive is invaluable. He gets

:03:45. > :03:46.much-needed respite, and that allows him to enjoy the time he spends with

:03:47. > :03:49.Mary. The Scottish Football Association

:03:50. > :03:53.is urging victims of child sexual abuse to get in touch,

:03:54. > :03:55.following BBC Scotland's latest revelations about

:03:56. > :03:57.the issue within the game. A number of former youth players

:03:58. > :04:00.made harrowing claims of abuse in last night's documentary,

:04:01. > :04:05.The Ugly Side Of The Beautiful Game. Well, Jackie, it is properly worth

:04:06. > :04:17.reminding ourselves of what the Well, Jackie, it is properly worth

:04:18. > :04:22.documentary was all about, allegations about the former Celtic

:04:23. > :04:29.boys club coach, among others, Gordon Neely, who was a coach at

:04:30. > :04:34.Hibs. He died in 2014, but this is an except from last night's

:04:35. > :04:38.programme, one alleged victim, his account of what happened to him.

:04:39. > :04:47.There was a massage table in the room, and a cabinet on the wall,

:04:48. > :04:56.which I vividly remember, and he would start to rub my legs, and he

:04:57. > :05:05.would progress from that to the point where I was getting raped. How

:05:06. > :05:10.many times did he do this to you? I can't be 100% sure, but it was at

:05:11. > :05:14.least eight to ten times. John Cleland talking to our reporter

:05:15. > :05:21.there. In terms of responses from the Scottish FA, Police Scotland,

:05:22. > :05:25.the NSPCC, all along very similar lines, the SFA say they are waiting

:05:26. > :05:30.the findings of an independent review into allegations of historic

:05:31. > :05:34.child sexual abuse in football. Lee Scotland have urged victims to come

:05:35. > :05:38.forward, although we understand they have launched a fresh investigation

:05:39. > :05:44.into the allegations. -- police Scotland. There is also a hope that

:05:45. > :05:49.last night's documentary will encourage other victims to come

:05:50. > :05:54.forward. I think last night's programme is the tip of the iceberg,

:05:55. > :05:59.I think it just scratched the surface. I think there is going to

:06:00. > :06:04.be a lot of others coming forward, and I think after last night,

:06:05. > :06:10.definitely I would expect to get more phone calls. So what happens

:06:11. > :06:13.next? We await the outcome of this independent inquiry, I am told in

:06:14. > :06:17.months rather than weeks, but I have spoken to quite a number of people

:06:18. > :06:20.in the game today, and they say this is just a start, and they believe

:06:21. > :06:23.there are many more revelations to come.

:06:24. > :06:25.A gymnastics coach who represented Scotland in the 2010

:06:26. > :06:28.Commonwealth Games is to stand trial on six sex charges

:06:29. > :06:34.25-year-old Ryan McKee from Kinning Park in Glasgow

:06:35. > :06:35.is alleged to have engaged in sexual activity

:06:36. > :06:38.with the girls, who were 14 and 15 at the time.

:06:39. > :06:40.The offences are alleged to have taken place

:06:41. > :06:47.Mr McKee denies the charges and is due to stand trial in August.

:06:48. > :06:50.College lecturers across Scotland have voted to take strike

:06:51. > :06:52.action in a dispute over variations in pay between different

:06:53. > :07:04.A deal to settle a strike last year was intended to resolve the issue,

:07:05. > :07:09.Decommissioning one of the most important oilfields in the North Sea

:07:10. > :07:14.not just the scale of the job but the impact on the environment.

:07:15. > :07:17.Plans for the famous Brent field, which include leaving the legs

:07:18. > :07:19.of the platforms in the sea, has angered environmentalists.

:07:20. > :07:21.However, the first platform is about to be taken apart,

:07:22. > :07:24.and it's a job for the world's biggest construction vessel,

:07:25. > :07:43.We are in Rotterdam, the largest harbour in Europe Kara and currently

:07:44. > :07:49.docked here is the Pioneering Spirit. This ship is huge, the

:07:50. > :07:56.length of six jumbo jets, and by many measures this is the largest

:07:57. > :08:01.vessel in the world, and it will soon had out into the North Sea to

:08:02. > :08:06.undertake an incredibly complex bit of engineering work, the lifting of

:08:07. > :08:12.the top side of a platform in the Brent field, the Brent Delta. We

:08:13. > :08:17.have now made our way onto the Pioneering Spirit, and with me is

:08:18. > :08:22.Alistair Hope from Shell. Why did you decide to lift the top side in

:08:23. > :08:27.its entirety? It is fundamentally a safer and more efficient way to lift

:08:28. > :08:32.these big, complicated platforms, nearly 40 years old, they have been

:08:33. > :08:36.modified and changed a lot over the years. So being able to lift them in

:08:37. > :08:42.one piece, bring them on shore to dismantle them in a much more

:08:43. > :08:46.controlled way, it saves a lot of risk and is fundamentally cheaper as

:08:47. > :08:50.well. Some environmental groups are concerned about the wider proposals

:08:51. > :08:54.for the rest of the Brent field, they fear that Shell may be in

:08:55. > :08:58.breach of international law, that must be a blow for you. We are very

:08:59. > :09:02.grateful to all the groups who have contributed, and we will respond to

:09:03. > :09:07.all the comments appropriately, and sits down and share more insight and

:09:08. > :09:10.knowledge with whoever needs to, where appropriate, so that is the

:09:11. > :09:15.whole idea of public consultation, you get comments. That we will

:09:16. > :09:21.always comply with the law. Thank you very much for that. So this

:09:22. > :09:25.project ten years in the planning, another ten years to go until the

:09:26. > :09:31.actual lift itself. The key moment, as Brent Delta is lifted off its

:09:32. > :09:33.lakes, that will take all of ten seconds, and it is due to take place

:09:34. > :09:35.in just a few weeks' time. It's the remarkable story of a large

:09:36. > :09:38.family from Greenock torn apart when the children were removed

:09:39. > :09:40.from the family home in the 1950s, and their efforts

:09:41. > :09:42.to find each other again. Tonight a BBC documentary tells

:09:43. > :09:48.the story of the family and their quest to track down

:09:49. > :09:51.all the brothers and sisters, who were fostered, adopted

:09:52. > :09:53.and put into children's homes Our reporter Aileen Clarke

:09:54. > :10:13.has had a preview. We were removed in 1956 from the

:10:14. > :10:21.family home. Because of the state we were in, health-wise, it was quite

:10:22. > :10:28.horrific. The only thing was that they didn't want us. But as I got

:10:29. > :10:33.older and learned all the different things, it was through being poor

:10:34. > :10:42.that they lost us. The cruelty is a polite word. The former's wife hated

:10:43. > :10:46.us. When this woman beat you, it was with anything she could pick up, a

:10:47. > :10:52.broom handle, a branch of a tree, an iron bar. I don't see myself as an

:10:53. > :10:59.adult, I see myself as that child, struggling to either live or die.

:11:00. > :11:03.Are you going to let me see this? There have been hard times for many

:11:04. > :11:08.of them, but Bernard and Ian are very proud of their extensive family

:11:09. > :11:11.tree. Realising you are part of a big family, though, for Ian, who

:11:12. > :11:17.thought he had no siblings, has taken a bit of getting used to, and

:11:18. > :11:19.he said the documentary helped. With making the documentary, we were

:11:20. > :11:25.sitting in interview after interview and saying things that you possibly

:11:26. > :11:28.wouldn't talk about, it was getting very personal, very intimate. And

:11:29. > :11:32.yet, when we were finished the interview, we'd all get together,

:11:33. > :11:36.and we were able to talk together, so we actually got to know each

:11:37. > :11:40.other very well over that period of time. With all clicked together, we

:11:41. > :11:49.didn't sit in silence, looking at each other, we could all talk. I

:11:50. > :11:53.can't get rid of him! Ian's introduction to his family

:11:54. > :11:59.came when his brother George, who'd been searching for decades, found

:12:00. > :12:01.him. The doorbell went, I went up to

:12:02. > :12:05.him. answer the door, and there is a man

:12:06. > :12:11.standing there, more or less the same age as me. He said to me, I'm

:12:12. > :12:16.George. And there was my brother standing there, and it was as if

:12:17. > :12:23.we'd known each other for 60 years, it was no difference, it was just

:12:24. > :12:34.George. This is what he wanted, he wanted to find everybody. Have a

:12:35. > :12:37.good toast, then! George has now died, but the documentary follows

:12:38. > :12:39.the search for the two brothers he hadn't found. Aileen Clarke,

:12:40. > :12:41.Reporting Scotland. And you can see more of the Clark

:12:42. > :12:44.family's story in A Family Divided on BBC Two Scotland tonight

:12:45. > :12:46.at nine o'clock. A huge dump of illegal waste

:12:47. > :12:48.on the outskirst of Glasgow is being blamed for an infestation

:12:49. > :12:52.of flies in the area. Residents of Newton Mearns who want

:12:53. > :12:55.the the rubbish removed were told as it's being treated

:12:56. > :12:59.as a crime scene. Our reporter Rebecca Curran

:13:00. > :13:14.is there. Well, Jackie, both the local council

:13:15. > :13:18.and the Scottish environment protection agency said tackling this

:13:19. > :13:22.is you is their top priority. The local authority was made aware of

:13:23. > :13:27.issues at this site at the end of last month, they say, but residents

:13:28. > :13:31.I've spoken to today say they were noticing a fly infestation in the

:13:32. > :13:35.area some time before that. Now, none of them wanted to go on camera

:13:36. > :13:37.today, but they told me that at times there were swarms of 30 or 40

:13:38. > :13:43.flies in their home. Some have been times there were swarms of 30 or 40

:13:44. > :13:48.making their own nets to put over windows and doors, and others have

:13:49. > :13:51.reported feeling unwell. Now, the problem lies on the land behind

:13:52. > :13:54.reported feeling unwell. Now, the these gates. What we now know is

:13:55. > :14:02.that a large amount of illegal waste was dumped here. Sepa cannot confirm

:14:03. > :14:08.what it is but say that due to the volume and variety of it, it will

:14:09. > :14:10.take some time to remove it. I spoke with East Renfrewshire Council a

:14:11. > :14:15.little earlier, and they had an update on what that operation might

:14:16. > :14:21.get under way. We are hopeful it will commence tomorrow morning, if

:14:22. > :14:24.not, very soon after, in conjunction with perhaps some pest control

:14:25. > :14:29.activity to try and limit any release of flies. But it could take

:14:30. > :14:36.several days, it just depends on how quickly the material can be moved.

:14:37. > :14:40.Sepa say they have devoted considerable resources to getting

:14:41. > :14:46.this site cleaned up safely and catching those responsible. This is

:14:47. > :14:50.now a criminal investigation. A representative of the landowner, who

:14:51. > :14:54.hopes to demolish this site and build a retirement village, say it

:14:55. > :14:59.was leased to a third party at the time. Now, authorities have thanked

:15:00. > :15:03.the local community here for their patience, but having spoken to many

:15:04. > :15:05.of them today, it seems that that patience is quickly running out.

:15:06. > :15:07.Rebecca, thank you. You're watching BBC

:15:08. > :15:08.Reporting Scotland. The shortage of carers in Scotland

:15:09. > :15:13.is reaching crisis point, as care providers say they're

:15:14. > :15:15.struggling to fill vacancies Ashot in the arm for the Jags as two

:15:16. > :15:19.well-known benefactors back a purpose built training ground

:15:20. > :15:27.for Partick Thistle. In just over three weeks' time,

:15:28. > :15:30.we'll be going to the polls Councils have faced years of tight

:15:31. > :15:34.budgets and face huge challenges deciding just what local services

:15:35. > :15:37.are needed and how Between now and polling

:15:38. > :15:40.day, we'll be hearing about the issues around the country

:15:41. > :15:43.and what the parties are proposing. Our local government correspondent

:15:44. > :15:45.Jamie McIvor Well, we all use council

:15:46. > :15:51.services in one way or another, even if we may

:15:52. > :15:53.not always realise it. Scotland has 32 councils and we'll

:15:54. > :15:55.be electing more than 1,200 We're all represented by three

:15:56. > :15:59.or four councillors, and the days when councils could be dominated

:16:00. > :16:03.by one individual party are gone. Usually, coalitions are formed

:16:04. > :16:05.or deals are done between councillors from

:16:06. > :16:08.rival parties. At the moment, the SNP has more

:16:09. > :16:11.councillors across Scotland but Labour is in the driving

:16:12. > :16:21.seat in more councils. While in the Highlands

:16:22. > :16:23.and Islands and the Borders, councillors who aren't aligned

:16:24. > :16:26.to national parties play a big role. But just how do councils

:16:27. > :16:28.affect everyday life? Earlier today, I visited

:16:29. > :16:43.Balloch, by Loch Lomond. Bins, roads, street lights. This is

:16:44. > :16:49.the reality of local government, services which can often be taken

:16:50. > :16:53.for granted unless changes or perceived inned a request sees

:16:54. > :16:57.provoke debate. With the national debate, dominated by Brexit and the

:16:58. > :17:00.possibility of a second independence referendum, will people here be

:17:01. > :17:05.thinking of local issues when they vote? Local issues are important for

:17:06. > :17:09.a council election, national politics lies on top of that. You

:17:10. > :17:13.can't get one without the other. The local government is there for the

:17:14. > :17:16.local government. It shouldn't be impacted by what these wider

:17:17. > :17:20.constitution Aleppo tension issues. When it comes to Brexit and

:17:21. > :17:26.everything like that. That's much more important. Arguably, the most

:17:27. > :17:33.important service run by councils is education. The government is

:17:34. > :17:41.councils should have over Scholes. councils should have over Scholes.

:17:42. > :17:46.-- schools. This library does more than lend books. It now hosts a

:17:47. > :17:48.cancer charity drop-in centre. An example of how a council service can

:17:49. > :17:53.work with others. The people we elect next month have

:17:54. > :17:55.important responsibilities. Voting is simple -

:17:56. > :17:56.you rank the candidates and you can vote for as many

:17:57. > :18:01.or as few as you want. But if you aren't registered

:18:02. > :18:04.to vote, you'll need to be quick. You have until next

:18:05. > :18:06.Monday to register. So the Scottish Green

:18:07. > :18:13.Party is the first to launch a manifesto

:18:14. > :18:15.for this election. The party says they're

:18:16. > :18:17.determined to put power back in the hands of the people

:18:18. > :18:19.and they're also campaigning Here's our political

:18:20. > :18:27.correspondent, Andrew Kerr,. The party gathered by Glasgow Green

:18:28. > :18:30.for this manifesto launch, they claim it's their biggest council

:18:31. > :18:37.election campaign with their membership received a boost after

:18:38. > :18:41.the 2014 independence referendum. Our focus is to put power back in

:18:42. > :18:44.people's hands we need a reenergised local democracy in Scotland.

:18:45. > :18:49.Currently, people don't have enough of a say over the things that affect

:18:50. > :18:53.their lives, decisions are taken be remotely to them, far away from

:18:54. > :18:58.them. We want to change that. With that theme of pitting power back in

:18:59. > :19:01.people's hands, they are wanting to prioritise the protection of public

:19:02. > :19:06.services, such as schools and social care. The manifesto commits

:19:07. > :19:15.councillors to, among other policies:

:19:16. > :19:22.The Greens hope voters will focus on local issues in this council

:19:23. > :19:27.election campaign, but national politics will surely play a very

:19:28. > :19:32.significant role. The party's played a pivotal part in pushing for a

:19:33. > :19:37.second independence referendum, supporting the SNP. Could they be in

:19:38. > :19:40.danger of being squeezed in this election as their pro-independence

:19:41. > :19:45.supporters gravitate towards the SNP? I think the political parties

:19:46. > :19:49.that are trying to turn a local council election into it a test of

:19:50. > :19:52.opinion on national issues should be ashamed of themselves. They are

:19:53. > :19:58.effectively saying that local services don't matter. They seem not

:19:59. > :20:02.to even understand what the job of a local councillor is. The power is

:20:03. > :20:04.indeed in your hands as voters decide on their own priorities in

:20:05. > :20:07.this campaign. You'll find details

:20:08. > :20:09.about your councils, including the names of candidates,

:20:10. > :20:17.on our website. A ceremony in Glasgow has honoured

:20:18. > :20:20.a soldier who sacrificed his life Lieutenant Donald Mackintosh was 21

:20:21. > :20:25.when he led a company of men He was wounded as they advanced

:20:26. > :20:29.on an enemy trench, but despite that he encouraged

:20:30. > :20:32.his men to continue the attack. He later died and was

:20:33. > :20:45.posthumously awarded He was just a supreme example of

:20:46. > :20:52.what the human spirit is and all those who fought with him and died

:20:53. > :20:54.with him found they were enabled to do in the most appalling conditions

:20:55. > :20:59.of battle. "One of the biggest days in

:21:00. > :21:05.Partick Thistle's 140 year history." That's what the Partick Thistle

:21:08. > :21:09.are to have their own It'll cost ?4 million,

:21:10. > :21:14.the plans aren't even drawn up yet, and it's all thanks to two

:21:15. > :21:28.well-known benefactors, Mrent plenty to smile about in the

:21:29. > :21:31.Partick dug-out, as if they have a new training club. How big a day is

:21:32. > :21:36.this in the history of the football club? One of the biggest. Without a

:21:37. > :21:41.doubt. It's a question we won't know we will be able to benefit until we

:21:42. > :21:45.have seen the training facilities for the nexting 20, 25 years. Tran

:21:46. > :21:51.formational is the best way to describe it. Sglm how does a club of

:21:52. > :22:00.a turnover of under ?3.5 million and a of proit of ?2 UN had00,000 build

:22:01. > :22:12.a bespoke training academy? Thanks to Colin and Chris Weir they will

:22:13. > :22:14.build it and lease it back. Sometimes these facilities have

:22:15. > :22:19.things running and we need somewhere else to train. This weekend it's

:22:20. > :22:23.holiday weekend and we have to find somewhere else. It's difficult to

:22:24. > :22:27.do. It will solve all the problems. For the players, to have that base

:22:28. > :22:31.it will give the club an identity, I think. As everyone who tried to buy

:22:32. > :22:37.a house in the West End of Glasgow will tell you, property and land are

:22:38. > :22:42.very expensive. Don't expect the new training facility to pop-up anywhere

:22:43. > :22:46.near Firhill when it's built. For a club who almost went out of business

:22:47. > :22:53.20 years ago and have secured their first top six finish in Scotland's

:22:54. > :22:59.top division since 1981 their future could scarcely look any better.

:23:00. > :23:01.Five Scottish landscapes figure in a new survey of the top

:23:02. > :23:05.But - whisper it - the ultimate accolade went not

:23:06. > :23:07.to a dramatic Highland vista, but to the panorama seen

:23:08. > :23:10.Scotland's scenery is what brings so many visitors here.

:23:11. > :23:17.So Craig Anderson asks - what's in a view?

:23:18. > :23:23.So the view from Snowdon is better than anything Scotland has to offer,

:23:24. > :23:27.is it? Let us nail it first of all. Made more people will have seen the

:23:28. > :23:33.view from the top of Snowdon because you can get a train up. Second in

:23:34. > :23:40.the national beauty contest, was the site of the Three Sisters, an area

:23:41. > :23:44.which offers breath taking vistas which ever way you look and in third

:23:45. > :23:48.place was Stonehenge. What do people look for in a view? It was a Xings

:23:49. > :23:52.of things like mountains, if there is water, if there is trees,

:23:53. > :23:57.anything like that makes a good view. Something that takes your

:23:58. > :24:00.breath away, you go - wow, look at that view. That make it is

:24:01. > :24:04.competition. Everyone has their own opinion of what makes a great view.

:24:05. > :24:14.Loch Ness was named sixth on the list, but of the 500 Scots quizzed

:24:15. > :24:20.on their preferences loch Lomond took top spot and Edinburgh Icals.

:24:21. > :24:29.Is there more pride in the local landscapes we know best? People are

:24:30. > :24:32.more likely to vote for views they are familiar with. The study found

:24:33. > :24:37.that the average British adult takes more than 1,000 pictures a year, now

:24:38. > :24:41.largely on smartphones. Most of those focus on landscapes and city

:24:42. > :24:43.views. We will all have our favourites, which one is yours will

:24:44. > :24:55.clearly depend on your perspective. Let's view the weather now. Thank

:24:56. > :25:00.you very much It's been a fairly cloudy, blustery day of weather

:25:01. > :25:04.across much of the country. We have had persistent and heavy rain

:25:05. > :25:08.affecting much of the north-west. This evening and tonight the rain

:25:09. > :25:14.will sink southwards through the likes of Argyll, the Glasgow area,

:25:15. > :25:18.much of the central belt, in fact, and in towards Dumfries and

:25:19. > :25:23.Galloway. For much of the east dry conditions with clear periods and

:25:24. > :25:28.just a scattering of showers. Staying windy tonight, particularly

:25:29. > :25:30.so across the western isles through the north-West Coast and Orkney with

:25:31. > :25:34.winds touching gale force here at the north-West Coast and Orkney with

:25:35. > :25:38.times. With the conditions comes a relatively mild night. Tomorrow, we

:25:39. > :25:42.dawn with that rain across much of the south-west. That will clear

:25:43. > :25:47.fairly quickly to leave a day really of some bright or sunny spells and a

:25:48. > :25:52.scattering of showers, most of which will be across the north and another

:25:53. > :25:57.fairly breezy day. Come tomorrow afternoon across much of Dumfries

:25:58. > :26:01.and Galloway the Borders through Argyll and central belt and eastern

:26:02. > :26:08.Scotland it will be dry with spells of brightness and sunshine. Across

:26:09. > :26:11.the Western Isles towards the Northern Isles and Aberdeenshire

:26:12. > :26:15.will see a scattering of showers. Some bright or sunny spells in

:26:16. > :26:21.between the showers. Remaining very windy across the Western Isles

:26:22. > :26:26.north-West Coast, the wind will ease as we go through the evening.

:26:27. > :26:30.Another really quite raw feel and exposure to these wind. Tomorrow

:26:31. > :26:35.evening, the showers will gradually decay. A lot of dry weather as we

:26:36. > :26:40.head overnight with clear periods and the wind continuing to ease. For

:26:41. > :26:45.thurs, we have high pressure dominating across the south and

:26:46. > :26:48.east. For us though a weather front making in-roads as we through the

:26:49. > :26:49.day. After a dry start with sunshine, clouding over from the

:26:50. > :26:57.west with some showers or rain.
