3) In a changing and turbulent world, we need more journalism, not less. I would appeal to Scottish Television to think again.

You, too, can make your voice heard, by signing this online petition urging the company to reconsider.

2) The journalists covering this area have been involved in various campaigns at the heart of these communities over the years and doing away with in situ coverage will mean issues that affect people in these parts will be less heard.

1) Scottish Television are proposing to shut down their “STV North” programme - which covers anywhere north of Perth, the Highlands and Islands, Moray and Aberdeen. Basically half the country, where news has been delivered for sixty years with a very separate and strong local identity.

In the last couple of years I have been writing and recording music with friends. "Towards The Light", an album of eleven songs, reflects on the world today, and on the process of growing old. Anyone interested can pre-save it here on Spotify.

Owning a boat, Mo, is like assembling bank notes in a neat pile and setting them alight.

Dawn with Daftie. This looks like frost. How I wish it was! Just mist lying across the fields before the rising sun burns it off. The heatwave continues 😢

Low lying mist in a bucolic scene at sunrise.
