Felt a bit under the weather all day today but this delightfully daft little story from Iona M.J. MacDonald – she/her made me smile. 🦕

I’m so delighted to finally hold my NCTJ Diploma in Journalism, which means I am now officially a qualified journalist! ✨💫🌟

Major big thanks to John Davidson for the support throughout all of this.

Some absolutely stunning pictures taken of the Black 5 locomotive Great Britain XVI steam train on the Kyle railway line yesterday.

Many thanks again to Highland local, Sam Bilner, for sharing these :)

Interesting, and likely not surprising.

I remain baffled why the Scottish Government doesn't sort our better quality virtual learning at a national level.

It's not just small rural schools that would benefit.

Instead councils, teachers and colleges are left to cobble stuff together locally.

Wonder whether Scottish Government will actually take any action?

Great reporting from Iona M.J. MacDonald – she/her
