A blanket ban is really silly. Sure - no direct emission heat in urban new build but in rural areas, wood fuel can be a local, sustainable and net zero fuel that supports local jobs.

We kick off on Friday with one of Scotland's best-known broadcasters, Frieda Morrison (Frieda Morrison) who will deliver this year's Soutar Birthday Lecture. Frieda will discuss her passion for the language & why it's important to continue to raise its profile & advocate its use.

This has just been brought to my attention by more than a few concerned Highlanders who heat their homes (as thousands do) using woodburning stoves, especially older residents who rely on them during a time of crippling energy price rises. I’m seeking urgent clarification.

Been asked to point out - 'ban' is for new build houses & conversions only, not for existing homes. But as we're trying to build new homes & renovate others (presuming that's a conversion) the challenge is very real.
Re urban air quality questions, we have 1 house per 107 acres.

I’m 58 today! 🥳 enjoying a bonkers breakfast boogie with my dancing soul mate! Me thinks my music (Suzi Quattro from the 70s) needs updating so please feel free to suggest some songs so I can create a new birthday playlist list! 🥳🥳🎶🎤🎸
