tomorrow's talks when he will try to persuade Russia to end its support | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of Syria's President. the crisis in care provision caused | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
by a shortage of workers This is something happening all over | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
Scotland, all over England as well. Also on the programme, | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
We get a look at the giant ship that's going to lift almost | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
an entire oil platform The remarkable story | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
of a family torn apart in the 1950s and the years | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
they spent trying How the country's | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
biggest lottery winners are helping to transform | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Partick Thistle's future. but it still only came second | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
in a UK-wide survey. The shortage of carers in Scotland | :00:47. | :01:05. | |
is reaching crisis point. The organisations that represents | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
independent care providers says nine out of ten of its members | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
cannot fill vacancies. It comes on the day figures | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
from England showed 900 social-care workers there | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
leave their jobs every day. Our health correspondent | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Lisa Summers has been to meet a couple from East Lothian | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
who are struggling to cope. OK? I will put baby here, you are | :01:27. | :01:42. | |
OK. Mary Turnbull and 78. The former schoolteacher was diagnosed with | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
dementia five years ago. Mary was the strong one in the | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
family, the homemaker, the provider, the person that did all the cooking. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Now the roles are reversed, Mary, there is some biddy waiting to see | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
you. But it is certainly isolated, you have nobody else to talk to. The | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
buck stops with me, basically. Who is this? Me with my hands in my | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
pockets... Her husband does have some care in place for his wife, but | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
despite offering to top up wages, he cannot get the help he needs. The | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
fact that I have lost a lot of care during the week means that I am | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
doing a lot of the caring, in the evening, for example, seven days a | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
week. I have to take upstairs, undresser, put her in her pyjamas, | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
put her to bed. Scottish Cares say nine out of ten of their members | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
report struggling to recruit staff. They say care homes have been forced | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
to close with the same problems in the community too. If you can earn | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
?1 50 more down the road with a supermarket, compared to the really | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
challenging and difficult experience of caring for somebody, however | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
rewarding that is, many people have to pay mortgages, and with bills | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
rising, giving up their job of care in order to earn a living. The | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Government says it has try to encourage people into the care | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
industry by introducing the living wage, but it feeds into a bigger | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
picture of problems with the integration of health and social | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
care. For example, there are still too many people unable to get home | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
from hospital, simply because care packages are not there for them. | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
Michael says the care they do receive is invaluable. He gets | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
much-needed respite, and that allows him to enjoy the time he spends with | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
Mary. The Scottish Football Association | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
is urging victims of child sexual abuse to get in touch, | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
following BBC Scotland's latest revelations about | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
the issue within the game. A number of former youth players | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
made harrowing claims of abuse in last night's documentary, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
The Ugly Side Of The Beautiful Game. Well, Jackie, it is properly worth | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
reminding ourselves of what the Well, Jackie, it is properly worth | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
documentary was all about, allegations about the former Celtic | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
boys club coach, among others, Gordon Neely, who was a coach at | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Hibs. He died in 2014, but this is an except from last night's | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
programme, one alleged victim, his account of what happened to him. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
There was a massage table in the room, and a cabinet on the wall, | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
which I vividly remember, and he would start to rub my legs, and he | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
would progress from that to the point where I was getting raped. How | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
many times did he do this to you? I can't be 100% sure, but it was at | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
least eight to ten times. John Cleland talking to our reporter | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
there. In terms of responses from the Scottish FA, Police Scotland, | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
the NSPCC, all along very similar lines, the SFA say they are waiting | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the findings of an independent review into allegations of historic | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
child sexual abuse in football. Lee Scotland have urged victims to come | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
forward, although we understand they have launched a fresh investigation | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
into the allegations. -- police Scotland. There is also a hope that | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
last night's documentary will encourage other victims to come | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
forward. I think last night's programme is the tip of the iceberg, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
I think it just scratched the surface. I think there is going to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
be a lot of others coming forward, and I think after last night, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
definitely I would expect to get more phone calls. So what happens | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
next? We await the outcome of this independent inquiry, I am told in | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
months rather than weeks, but I have spoken to quite a number of people | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
in the game today, and they say this is just a start, and they believe | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
there are many more revelations to come. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
A gymnastics coach who represented Scotland in the 2010 | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Commonwealth Games is to stand trial on six sex charges | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
25-year-old Ryan McKee from Kinning Park in Glasgow | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
is alleged to have engaged in sexual activity | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
with the girls, who were 14 and 15 at the time. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
The offences are alleged to have taken place | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Mr McKee denies the charges and is due to stand trial in August. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
College lecturers across Scotland have voted to take strike | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
action in a dispute over variations in pay between different | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
A deal to settle a strike last year was intended to resolve the issue, | :06:53. | :07:04. | |
Decommissioning one of the most important oilfields in the North Sea | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
not just the scale of the job but the impact on the environment. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
Plans for the famous Brent field, which include leaving the legs | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
of the platforms in the sea, has angered environmentalists. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
However, the first platform is about to be taken apart, | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
and it's a job for the world's biggest construction vessel, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
We are in Rotterdam, the largest harbour in Europe Kara and currently | :07:25. | :07:43. | |
docked here is the Pioneering Spirit. This ship is huge, the | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
length of six jumbo jets, and by many measures this is the largest | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
vessel in the world, and it will soon had out into the North Sea to | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
undertake an incredibly complex bit of engineering work, the lifting of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
the top side of a platform in the Brent field, the Brent Delta. We | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
have now made our way onto the Pioneering Spirit, and with me is | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Alistair Hope from Shell. Why did you decide to lift the top side in | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
its entirety? It is fundamentally a safer and more efficient way to lift | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
these big, complicated platforms, nearly 40 years old, they have been | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
modified and changed a lot over the years. So being able to lift them in | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
one piece, bring them on shore to dismantle them in a much more | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
controlled way, it saves a lot of risk and is fundamentally cheaper as | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
well. Some environmental groups are concerned about the wider proposals | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
for the rest of the Brent field, they fear that Shell may be in | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
breach of international law, that must be a blow for you. We are very | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
grateful to all the groups who have contributed, and we will respond to | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
all the comments appropriately, and sits down and share more insight and | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
knowledge with whoever needs to, where appropriate, so that is the | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
whole idea of public consultation, you get comments. That we will | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
always comply with the law. Thank you very much for that. So this | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
project ten years in the planning, another ten years to go until the | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
actual lift itself. The key moment, as Brent Delta is lifted off its | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
lakes, that will take all of ten seconds, and it is due to take place | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
in just a few weeks' time. It's the remarkable story of a large | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
family from Greenock torn apart when the children were removed | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
from the family home in the 1950s, and their efforts | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
to find each other again. Tonight a BBC documentary tells | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
the story of the family and their quest to track down | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
all the brothers and sisters, who were fostered, adopted | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
and put into children's homes Our reporter Aileen Clarke | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
has had a preview. We were removed in 1956 from the | :09:54. | :10:13. | |
family home. Because of the state we were in, health-wise, it was quite | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
horrific. The only thing was that they didn't want us. But as I got | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
older and learned all the different things, it was through being poor | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
that they lost us. The cruelty is a polite word. The former's wife hated | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
us. When this woman beat you, it was with anything she could pick up, a | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
broom handle, a branch of a tree, an iron bar. I don't see myself as an | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
adult, I see myself as that child, struggling to either live or die. | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
Are you going to let me see this? There have been hard times for many | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
of them, but Bernard and Ian are very proud of their extensive family | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
tree. Realising you are part of a big family, though, for Ian, who | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
thought he had no siblings, has taken a bit of getting used to, and | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
he said the documentary helped. With making the documentary, we were | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
sitting in interview after interview and saying things that you possibly | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
wouldn't talk about, it was getting very personal, very intimate. And | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
yet, when we were finished the interview, we'd all get together, | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
and we were able to talk together, so we actually got to know each | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
other very well over that period of time. With all clicked together, we | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
didn't sit in silence, looking at each other, we could all talk. I | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
can't get rid of him! Ian's introduction to his family | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
came when his brother George, who'd been searching for decades, found | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
him. The doorbell went, I went up to | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
him. answer the door, and there is a man | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
standing there, more or less the same age as me. He said to me, I'm | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
George. And there was my brother standing there, and it was as if | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
we'd known each other for 60 years, it was no difference, it was just | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
George. This is what he wanted, he wanted to find everybody. Have a | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
good toast, then! George has now died, but the documentary follows | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
the search for the two brothers he hadn't found. Aileen Clarke, | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
Reporting Scotland. And you can see more of the Clark | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
family's story in A Family Divided on BBC Two Scotland tonight | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
at nine o'clock. A huge dump of illegal waste | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
on the outskirst of Glasgow is being blamed for an infestation | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
of flies in the area. Residents of Newton Mearns who want | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
the the rubbish removed were told as it's being treated | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
as a crime scene. Our reporter Rebecca Curran | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
is there. Well, Jackie, both the local council | :13:00. | :13:14. | |
and the Scottish environment protection agency said tackling this | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
is you is their top priority. The local authority was made aware of | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
issues at this site at the end of last month, they say, but residents | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
I've spoken to today say they were noticing a fly infestation in the | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
area some time before that. Now, none of them wanted to go on camera | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
today, but they told me that at times there were swarms of 30 or 40 | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
flies in their home. Some have been times there were swarms of 30 or 40 | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
making their own nets to put over windows and doors, and others have | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
reported feeling unwell. Now, the problem lies on the land behind | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
reported feeling unwell. Now, the these gates. What we now know is | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
that a large amount of illegal waste was dumped here. Sepa cannot confirm | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
what it is but say that due to the volume and variety of it, it will | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
take some time to remove it. I spoke with East Renfrewshire Council a | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
little earlier, and they had an update on what that operation might | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
get under way. We are hopeful it will commence tomorrow morning, if | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
not, very soon after, in conjunction with perhaps some pest control | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
activity to try and limit any release of flies. But it could take | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
several days, it just depends on how quickly the material can be moved. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
Sepa say they have devoted considerable resources to getting | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
this site cleaned up safely and catching those responsible. This is | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
now a criminal investigation. A representative of the landowner, who | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
hopes to demolish this site and build a retirement village, say it | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
was leased to a third party at the time. Now, authorities have thanked | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
the local community here for their patience, but having spoken to many | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
of them today, it seems that that patience is quickly running out. | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
Rebecca, thank you. You're watching BBC | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
Reporting Scotland. The shortage of carers in Scotland | :15:08. | :15:08. | |
is reaching crisis point, as care providers say they're | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
struggling to fill vacancies Ashot in the arm for the Jags as two | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
well-known benefactors back a purpose built training ground | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
for Partick Thistle. In just over three weeks' time, | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
we'll be going to the polls Councils have faced years of tight | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
budgets and face huge challenges deciding just what local services | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
are needed and how Between now and polling | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
day, we'll be hearing about the issues around the country | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
and what the parties are proposing. Our local government correspondent | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Jamie McIvor Well, we all use council | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
services in one way or another, even if we may | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
not always realise it. Scotland has 32 councils and we'll | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
be electing more than 1,200 We're all represented by three | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
or four councillors, and the days when councils could be dominated | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
by one individual party are gone. Usually, coalitions are formed | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
or deals are done between councillors from | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
rival parties. At the moment, the SNP has more | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
councillors across Scotland but Labour is in the driving | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
seat in more councils. While in the Highlands | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
and Islands and the Borders, councillors who aren't aligned | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
to national parties play a big role. But just how do councils | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
affect everyday life? Earlier today, I visited | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
Balloch, by Loch Lomond. Bins, roads, street lights. This is | :16:29. | :16:43. | |
the reality of local government, services which can often be taken | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
for granted unless changes or perceived inned a request sees | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
provoke debate. With the national debate, dominated by Brexit and the | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
possibility of a second independence referendum, will people here be | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
thinking of local issues when they vote? Local issues are important for | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
a council election, national politics lies on top of that. You | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
can't get one without the other. The local government is there for the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
local government. It shouldn't be impacted by what these wider | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
constitution Aleppo tension issues. When it comes to Brexit and | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
everything like that. That's much more important. Arguably, the most | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
important service run by councils is education. The government is | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
councils should have over Scholes. councils should have over Scholes. | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
-- schools. This library does more than lend books. It now hosts a | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
cancer charity drop-in centre. An example of how a council service can | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
work with others. The people we elect next month have | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
important responsibilities. Voting is simple - | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
you rank the candidates and you can vote for as many | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
or as few as you want. But if you aren't registered | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
to vote, you'll need to be quick. You have until next | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Monday to register. So the Scottish Green | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
Party is the first to launch a manifesto | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
for this election. The party says they're | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
determined to put power back in the hands of the people | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
and they're also campaigning Here's our political | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
correspondent, Andrew Kerr,. The party gathered by Glasgow Green | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
for this manifesto launch, they claim it's their biggest council | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
election campaign with their membership received a boost after | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
the 2014 independence referendum. Our focus is to put power back in | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
people's hands we need a reenergised local democracy in Scotland. | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Currently, people don't have enough of a say over the things that affect | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
their lives, decisions are taken be remotely to them, far away from | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
them. We want to change that. With that theme of pitting power back in | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
people's hands, they are wanting to prioritise the protection of public | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
services, such as schools and social care. The manifesto commits | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
councillors to, among other policies: | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
The Greens hope voters will focus on local issues in this council | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
election campaign, but national politics will surely play a very | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
significant role. The party's played a pivotal part in pushing for a | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
second independence referendum, supporting the SNP. Could they be in | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
danger of being squeezed in this election as their pro-independence | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
supporters gravitate towards the SNP? I think the political parties | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
that are trying to turn a local council election into it a test of | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
opinion on national issues should be ashamed of themselves. They are | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
effectively saying that local services don't matter. They seem not | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
to even understand what the job of a local councillor is. The power is | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
indeed in your hands as voters decide on their own priorities in | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
this campaign. You'll find details | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
about your councils, including the names of candidates, | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
on our website. A ceremony in Glasgow has honoured | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
a soldier who sacrificed his life Lieutenant Donald Mackintosh was 21 | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
when he led a company of men He was wounded as they advanced | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
on an enemy trench, but despite that he encouraged | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
his men to continue the attack. He later died and was | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
posthumously awarded He was just a supreme example of | :20:33. | :20:45. | |
what the human spirit is and all those who fought with him and died | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
with him found they were enabled to do in the most appalling conditions | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
of battle. "One of the biggest days in | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
Partick Thistle's 140 year history." That's what the Partick Thistle | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
managing director calls the news that the Jags | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
are to have their own It'll cost ?4 million, | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
the plans aren't even drawn up yet, and it's all thanks to two | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
well-known benefactors, Mrent plenty to smile about in the | :21:15. | :21:28. | |
Partick dug-out, as if they have a new training club. How big a day is | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
this in the history of the football club? One of the biggest. Without a | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
doubt. It's a question we won't know we will be able to benefit until we | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
have seen the training facilities for the nexting 20, 25 years. Tran | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
formational is the best way to describe it. Sglm how does a club of | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
a turnover of under ?3.5 million and a of proit of ?2 UN had00,000 build | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
a bespoke training academy? Thanks to Colin and Chris Weir they will | :22:01. | :22:12. | |
build it and lease it back. Sometimes these facilities have | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
things running and we need somewhere else to train. This weekend it's | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
holiday weekend and we have to find somewhere else. It's difficult to | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
do. It will solve all the problems. For the players, to have that base | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
it will give the club an identity, I think. As everyone who tried to buy | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
a house in the West End of Glasgow will tell you, property and land are | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
very expensive. Don't expect the new training facility to pop-up anywhere | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
near Firhill when it's built. For a club who almost went out of business | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
20 years ago and have secured their first top six finish in Scotland's | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
top division since 1981 their future could scarcely look any better. | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
Five Scottish landscapes figure in a new survey of the top | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
But - whisper it - the ultimate accolade went not | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
to a dramatic Highland vista, but to the panorama seen | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
Scotland's scenery is what brings so many visitors here. | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
So Craig Anderson asks - what's in a view? | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
So the view from Snowdon is better than anything Scotland has to offer, | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
is it? Let us nail it first of all. Made more people will have seen the | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
view from the top of Snowdon because you can get a train up. Second in | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
the national beauty contest, was the site of the Three Sisters, an area | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
which offers breath taking vistas which ever way you look and in third | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
place was Stonehenge. What do people look for in a view? It was a Xings | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
of things like mountains, if there is water, if there is trees, | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
anything like that makes a good view. Something that takes your | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
breath away, you go - wow, look at that view. That make it is | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
competition. Everyone has their own opinion of what makes a great view. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Loch Ness was named sixth on the list, but of the 500 Scots quizzed | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
on their preferences loch Lomond took top spot and Edinburgh Icals. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Is there more pride in the local landscapes we know best? People are | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
more likely to vote for views they are familiar with. The study found | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
that the average British adult takes more than 1,000 pictures a year, now | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
largely on smartphones. Most of those focus on landscapes and city | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
views. We will all have our favourites, which one is yours will | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
clearly depend on your perspective. Let's view the weather now. Thank | :24:44. | :24:55. | |
you very much It's been a fairly cloudy, blustery day of weather | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
across much of the country. We have had persistent and heavy rain | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
affecting much of the north-west. This evening and tonight the rain | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
will sink southwards through the likes of Argyll, the Glasgow area, | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
much of the central belt, in fact, and in towards Dumfries and | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Galloway. For much of the east dry conditions with clear periods and | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
just a scattering of showers. Staying windy tonight, particularly | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
so across the western isles through the north-West Coast and Orkney with | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
winds touching gale force here at the north-West Coast and Orkney with | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
times. With the conditions comes a relatively mild night. Tomorrow, we | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
dawn with that rain across much of the south-west. That will clear | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
fairly quickly to leave a day really of some bright or sunny spells and a | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
scattering of showers, most of which will be across the north and another | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
fairly breezy day. Come tomorrow afternoon across much of Dumfries | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
and Galloway the Borders through Argyll and central belt and eastern | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
Scotland it will be dry with spells of brightness and sunshine. Across | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
the Western Isles towards the Northern Isles and Aberdeenshire | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
will see a scattering of showers. Some bright or sunny spells in | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
between the showers. Remaining very windy across the Western Isles | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
north-West Coast, the wind will ease as we go through the evening. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Another really quite raw feel and exposure to these wind. Tomorrow | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
evening, the showers will gradually decay. A lot of dry weather as we | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
head overnight with clear periods and the wind continuing to ease. For | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
thurs, we have high pressure dominating across the south and | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
east. For us though a weather front making in-roads as we through the | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
day. After a dry start with sunshine, clouding over from the | :26:49. | :26:49. | |
west with some showers or rain. | :26:50. | :26:57. |
