We are back with the late news at 10.

:00:00.:00:09.

Grand National winner One for Arthur has returned to his stables

:00:10.:00:16.

in Milnathort after winning what was the first Scottish success

:00:17.:00:18.

He was welcomed back by fans though perhaps not by the bookmakers.

:00:19.:00:22.

They lost millions on his unexpected 14 to one win.

:00:23.:00:25.

Back home after winning the world's greatest steeplechase. One for

:00:26.:00:39.

Arthur has very quickly established a very strong fan base. It is

:00:40.:00:44.

amazing. A local winner. We wouldn't have expected but it is fantastic

:00:45.:00:49.

for Kinross and putting Kinross on the map. Didn't they do well? The

:00:50.:00:53.

team have done an absolutely fantastic job. It has been a really

:00:54.:00:56.

exciting couple of days so I am really happy for everybody involved

:00:57.:01:01.

and good for him. Good for author. The race itself went remarkably to

:01:02.:01:05.

plan, with author taking up the running. Some say he wasn't meant to

:01:06.:01:15.

win but he is not the quickest in the world but he certainly can jump.

:01:16.:01:19.

He kept his speed until the end. We have tremendous staff and I am

:01:20.:01:22.

hoping they will all be here today and it is their input that has done

:01:23.:01:27.

it all. We are very lucky to have a horse like him and he is just

:01:28.:01:32.

outstanding. You can see him. He is fresh as anything. He even does

being a Grand National winner well. The trainer, Peter Scudamore,

:01:39.:01:40.

himself a champion jockey who never won the big race, is well aware of

:01:41.:01:46.

what the victory means for such a small yard. We think sometimes we

:01:47.:01:49.

are in our own little bubble but the village has turned out to see them.

:01:50.:01:54.

Our lads are buying their food in the village and drinking their food

:01:55.:01:57.

and rented houses and they are part of village. This area is not known

:01:58.:02:03.

for its famous sporting achievements, but now it is a Grand

:02:04.:02:07.

National winner. This was created yesterday at Aintree when One for

:02:08.:02:09.

Arthur became the only second Scottish resource to win the world's

:02:10.:02:14.

greatest steeplechase. The plan now is to return in 12 months' time and

:02:15.:02:15.

do it all over again. A seven-year-old boy who died

after being struck by a van in Moray The accident happened

:02:22.:02:24.

in Elgin on Friday evening. Events in Scotland and France

:02:25.:02:31.

are being held to mark the centenary of the Battle of Arras

:02:32.:02:39.

in which 18,000 Scots died. The fighting saw the highest

:02:40.:02:41.

concentration of Scots involved Battle of Arras was the forgotten

:02:42.:02:59.

Battle of the First World War. The lives of 18,000 Scots were last

year, 100 years ago. They were remembered today along with the

:03:03.:03:06.

thousands of others from around the world who died. Services began in

:03:07.:03:12.

France this morning in a ceremony conducted to remember at the

:03:13.:03:16.

Scottish casualties. The dead were also commemorated here in Greenock.

:03:17.:03:21.

Margaret McCreery and Heather Ferri on the granddaughter and

:03:22.:03:24.

great-granddaughter of Private James Cook who died in the Battle of

:03:25.:03:30.

Arras. I think if my dad had been huge would have liked it. I have

:03:31.:03:35.

been there and I have seen where my great grandfather would have fought.

:03:36.:03:39.

I have seen pictures of what the trenches were like and it must have

:03:40.:03:41.

been absolutely horrendous for him. The cost was high. The battle for

:03:42.:03:48.

the largest concentration of Scots involved in any World War I

:03:49.:03:52.

campaign. Of the 120 battalions that took part, 44 of them were Scottish.

:03:53.:03:59.

This afternoon, members of the Royal family were joined by Canadian and

:04:00.:04:03.

French leaders at a ceremony in France. They were joined by First

:04:04.:04:07.

Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who will also attend a service with The Royal

:04:08.:04:11.

Regiment of Scotland tonight. There is nobody who fought in the First

:04:12.:04:16.

World War left alive. Those soldiers were just like you and me. They

:04:17.:04:20.

worked in shops, factories, and offices. They had families. They had

:04:21.:04:25.

dreams. For many of them, it all ended here.

:04:26.:04:30.

Alex Salmond has predicted Theresa May's position on a second

:04:31.:04:33.

Scottish independence referendum will "crumble" over

:04:34.:04:36.

It follows comments from the Prime Minister that

:04:37.:04:40.

Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, the former First Minister

:04:41.:04:44.

was unwilling to be drawn on whether an advisory

:04:45.:04:46.

The Scottish Conservatives said it's not the time for more division

:04:47.:04:50.

and uncertainty over Scotland's future.

:04:51.:04:59.

Even Margaret Thatcher, for goodness sake, was prepared to acknowledge

:05:00.:05:03.

that the right of the Scottish people to exercise self

:05:04.:05:08.

determination and remember self-determination delayed, like

:05:09.:05:11.

justice, is self-determination denied and it just won't stand

:05:12.:05:14.

politically so my prediction is that Theresa May will crumble over time.

:05:15.:05:17.

In football in the Premiership third-placed Rangers won 3-0

:05:18.:05:21.

at second placed Aberdeen to cut the gap between them to nine points.

:05:22.:05:24.

All the goals came within five minutes of each other as Aberdeen's

:05:25.:05:27.

run of 10 consecutive home wins came to and end.

:05:28.:05:33.

Let's get the weather prospects for this evening and the start

:05:34.:05:42.

Thank you. Good evening to you all. Well, for most of us, it was a

:05:43.:05:48.

cloudy enter the weekend and with it some light on patchy rain for some.

:05:49.:05:52.

Some spells of brightness at times for the South East, but here is the

:05:53.:05:55.

picture in parts of Aberdeenshire earlier. Barely cloudy with some

:05:56.:05:59.

drizzle. This evening, some scattered showers and some clearer

:06:00.:06:02.

spells. Brightness for the Northwest with that rain clearing into the

:06:03.:06:05.

south-east and those showers frequent across the north and west

:06:06.:06:09.

through the night and some could be wintry over the hills and the

:06:10.:06:11.

mountains. Across the Saudis, we have clearer skies. Temperatures

:06:12.:06:16.

could it close to freezing for the Borders. Towns and cities, we have

:06:17.:06:22.

laws of 3-6 C. They cold a prospect tomorrow with those north-westerly

:06:23.:06:26.

winds quite strong and we will see the most frequent showers and again

:06:27.:06:29.

wintry over the hills. There will be sunny spells in between the showers.

:06:30.:06:34.

Let's take a wider look at the rest of the UK for tomorrow as well.

:06:35.:06:37.

While it will be largely dry, a much cooler fuel for all others with

:06:38.:06:44.

those north-westerly winds. 25 Celsius in England for the weekend,

:06:45.:06:48.

but tomorrow we are looking at nearer 15 Celsius. Across Scotland,

:06:49.:06:52.

we will have thicker cloud in the north-west. Temperatures in Shetland

:06:53.:06:57.

only five Celsius. 9-11 C elsewhere. For tomorrow evening, we see that

:06:58.:07:01.

thick cloud and with it comes outbreaks of rain. Still some

:07:02.:07:03.

thick cloud and with it comes clearer spells towards the

:07:04.:07:06.

south-east and that is associated with a weather front that will push

:07:07.:07:08.

through overnight into Tuesday and with some heavy outbreaks of rain

:07:09.:07:12.

for a time and still feeling quite cold for Scotland. That is the

:07:13.:07:14.

forecast Our next update is just

:07:15.:07:14.

after the ten o'clock news. Until then, from everyone

:07:15.:07:18.

on the team, enjoy the rest
