The scenes from the Capitol are utterly horrifying. Solidarity with those in 🇺🇸 on the side of democracy and the peaceful and constitutional transfer of power. Shame on those who have incited this attack on democracy.

Perth & Kinross Council purchased eight new bin lorries earlier this year and primary school pupils were asked to suggest potential names for each vehicle. Almost 500 pupils entered the competition, with the winning names inspired by everything from dinosaurs to Hollywood.

Couldn’t be prouder of my dad who retires today after a 45-year career in pharmacy. From his work ethic to his passion for pharmacy, he is a continual source of inspiration to me and so many others. Happy retirement, dad! 👏
