| Good afternoon,
Today we're expecting major announcements on Scotland's lockdown restrictions. Nicola Sturgeon will make a TV address to the nation tonight, just five minutes after Boris Johnson makes a similar UK-wide televised statement. Our journalists are hearing reports that the ban on visiting other houses, already in place across the west of Scotland, could be extended nationwide. It's safe to assume that a range of Covid-19 prevention measures are coming. Make sure to follow our live blog today for the latest developments as they happen. Key events today - Boris Johnson statement around 12:30pm
- The First Minister will address the Scottish Parliament at 2.20pm
- Prime Minister Boris Johnson makes a television statement at 8pm
- Nicola Sturgeon speaks to Scotland in televised address at 8:05pm
Forgotten tunnel Was this tunnel built on a Highland estate as part of the London Underground? It is one of the Highlands’ least known but most mysterious structures - a tunnel mouth built into a Wester Ross hillside by the Victorian engineer responsible for the Forth Bridge. Our reporter Alastair Dalton digs into the mystery surrounding it and discovers links to the London Undergound. "Enough platitudes to get him a job with a greeting card company" That is part of the stinging review our critic Stuart Kelly has dished out to TV history presenter Neil Oliver and his new book. The Coast presenter has released Wisdom Of The Ancients but it's failed to impress our reviewer...to put it lightly. And don't forget, you can gain access to EVERY story on The Scotsman from as little as £3 a month - less than a pint these days. If you'd like to try out unlimited access, subscribe here. |
