it's time for the news where you are.

Police have been speaking to motorists and residents

in a Glasgow suburb exactly a week after three masked men

broke into a woman's home and stole ?4,500.

A fourth man was waiting in a getaway car in

Photographs of two of the men, taken by the family,

They were pursued from the house by relatives, and what then happened

was there was a stand-off as they tried to make their way

into the suspect vehicle to leave, and this is why I am appealing

to members of the public who may have witnessed this

It was a very busy road and a busy time of the evening and that is why

we are making an appeal to the public.

Efforts are under way to clear a major illegal waste dump which has

brought swarms of flies to people's homes to the south of Glasgow.

The public is being asked to help track down those responsible

for the massive piles of refuse dumped at a warehouse

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency says calls about the former

Netherplace Dye Works will be treated in confidence.

Police are investigating allegations that a former member of staff

double-booked weddings at a luxury castle near Forfar in Angus and made

Guthrie Castle's website has a message asking anyone who's booked

a wedding or event to get in touch with them.

Guthrie Castle sits here in the Angus countryside,

It is a very popular venue for weddings.

But the castle's website has been taken down and replaced by a message

asking anyone who has booked a wedding here or other events

The allegations circulating on social media are that a former

member of staff double-booked weddings and pocketed the deposits.

I spoke to one man who is due to have his wedding in October.

He phoned the castle and they said they could not check his booking

because it was a bank holiday today but they would be back

Understandably, he is very concerned to know whether his wedding

will be going ahead in just six months' time.

The castle have not made any comment but Police Scotland have confirmed

The use of recorded video updates for parents whose babies

are in hospital is being trialled to help families stay connected.

The pilot project at Glasgow's Royal Hospital

for Children is thought to be a first in the UK.

She has spent her life so far in hospital.

Her parents, like many, cannot always be there

So doctors have come up with a solution.

We spoke to parents and said, what would be a good

A father himself suggested video messaging might be

Staff record and film updates of the babies

Nurses hope it will also mean their phones will ring less often.

We would hope in the future that we could use this

for all the babies, so it would mean when the parents wake up

in the morning they will see a video of their baby,

they will not see the need to phone in, they will just get up and get

When you were at home, what was it like to click

on the link and see your baby when you are at home?

It was difficult to go home but you need to.

We got e-mails to go online and look at videos that the nurses had

taken during the night, things like getting weighed

and when they had just changed her and she had a new outfit

on or a video of her going back to sleep again.

It was nice to show our older son who could not come up

It is early days for this trial but clinical staff hope to offer it

to any family on the neonatal ward and there has been interest

in expanding the scheme to other hospitals in Glasgow and in London.

The outgoing Dundee manager Paul Hartley says he's in no doubt

he leaves the club in a far stronger position than when he first

Hartley was sacked today, with the club 11th

in the Premiership - that's the relegation playoff spot.

They've lost their last seven league matches.

Hartley released a statement saying he respects the board's decision.

The newest visitor attraction in Inverness has opened

Visitors to Inverness Castle Viewpoint can get a 360-degree view

of many of the famous landmarks in the surrounding area.

Only 59 people are allowed on the platform at any one time.

The new V Design Museum is taking shape on Dundee's waterfront thanks

The building's complex curves mean none of its walls

The advanced design has been made possible by a detailed three-D

digital model which controls every aspect of the project.

Our science correspondent Kenneth Macdonald has this report.

The V Dundee will showcase the best in design.

The design of its building is so complex, so curvy,

it couldn't have been built five years ago.

Here is one example of how complex this design is.

This wall curves this way but it also curves that way.

This wall, this thick, is holding the building up.

It is a sculpture with the building in it.

There is not a square metre of the facade which is the same.

No-one sat down at a drawing board to create this.

from which everything else builds. as a detailed digital model

This was a building that we had to approach as a 3-D object.

The structure is one big overall machine,

the walls, roofs, floors, they all interact and each other.

It is one piece of design so we cannot chop it up into bits.

The V Dundee will open next year, packed with design classics.

It's already a trendsetter in building design and technology.

Well, it's over to Kirsteen now with the weather outlook

A fine end to the day with plenty of sunshine. Under clear skies tonight

with light winds if I leave -- a fairly widespread and sharp frost

will develop, particularly in rural areas. Temperatures are widely

falling below freezing. We expect perhaps as low as -8 in some

sheltered rural parts of the Highlands. Thicker cloud working its

way into the north-west by the end of the night and the temperatures

will return ton recover somewhat. Cold sunshine in the morning. During

the day, some high cloud spills in from the west, turning the sunshine

hazy across many areas. Thicker cloud in the north-west will produce

some light and patchy outbreaks of rain across the Western Isles.

Across the rest of the UK, cloudy in the afternoon across Northern

Ireland, high pressure in England and Wales, plenty of brightness.

Quite a cool feel for most of us. Freshening south to south-westerly

winds across the western and Northern Isles. Tomorrow evening,

cloudy for most of us and we will see the rain across the Western

Isles begin to move further south and east during the night. On

Wednesday, a fair amount of cloud, some rain across the south-east in

the morning and then light and patchy rain working its way into

Western coastal areas. The best of the brightness and sunshine will be

across the north-east. It will be milder noticeably than lately,

particularly in the sunshine in the north-east, temperatures at around

15. Over the next few days, largely dry, some light rain in the West,

the best sunshine in the east, much milder.

But, from everyone on the late team, goodnight.
