I'm pleasantly surprised with how many I have ticked off here.
I had to zoom in to check that Hushinish was definitely in NA before I selected it and I have also been about 900 metres away from ticking off NR.
I've updated my 'have you been to this OS grid tile' map game - I've managed to get to 40 of them, but still need to plan an expedition to the tiny bit of land in OV - try it here automaticknowledge.org/os-10…
I would go slightly further. All assessment deadlines should be between 10am and 4pm in the timezone the university is based, and they should only be on days that core university staff are working. There will be nobody available to help to if the deadline 11:59pm on a Sunday.
I'm looking forward to the railway line to Lewis. A sleeper train departing Stornoway with stops in Lochmaddy, Lochboisdale, and Tobermory before going onward to Glasgow would be fun.
I'm not sure what is more alarming here: the low turnout or the maximum membership at the moment being less than 14,000.

EXCLUSIVE; Scottish Labour politicians 'plotting pact with rivals' to lock SNP out of power
Privately MSPs are discussing whether this is the only way to beat the Nats amid Scot Lab's continued decline at the polls

If Labour aren't going to bother running a candidate in my area, why should I bother being a member? Why should I bother giving up my time to keep the local party running? Why should I donate anything when the central party comes asking for donations again?
"We are fading into the background and the debate between these two men is basically of no interest to the public."
Something that very few are willing to admit in CLP meetings.

What's next? Local Hero?
The oldest trophy in shinty was up for grabs yesterday, with @ShintyGMA and @ObanCamanachd facing off in the Glasgow Celtic Society Cup final. GMA took an early lead over their Premiership opposition, but Oban lifted the trophy after an 8-1 victory.

In Scotland this will include a lot of first year university students, and may impact tools or platforms that include resources for learning.
I thought we had heard the last of these notions when the MSP who supported a ‘watershed’ on the internet stood down.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer will introduce nightly social media curfews for 16 and 17-year-olds as part of the Government's social media ban

They will go to a platform that isn’t on this list instead. LinkedIn will be full of 14 year olds - as if it isn’t bad enough already with the recruiters and thought leaders.
A nice trip through to Edinburgh this weekend to see Camanachd Leòdhais progress to the next round of the Chieftan's Cup against Tayforth Camanachd. Lewis were 4:1 winners in the end after a closely contested match.

Either the estate agent captured a magical blue van in this video, or they used GenAI and didn’t check the output.
