Btw, in our grief we blindly did the paperwork and were shocked to get Sherry's ashes in a fancy urn, not a cardboard box. So, now we're creepy urn people and, I guess, will cart her around with us for the rest of our lives. Which is, of course, exactly what she would have wanted

Somehow, it's been a year since Sherry went to the big Cornetto in the sky. To honour her memory, you must either eat an ice cream or go out and adopt an old cat🐈‍⬛🍦

I properly, properly laughed reading this, and properly, properly cried, too - couldn’t help it. Not sure a book has ever done that to me quite as monumentally before. Thanks John Niven HQ

I may be biased but we have a great but rare opportunity for an entry-level journalist to join the The Press and Journal 's one and only city team. Genuinely one of the best teams in the business 😉

On this cold morning in Edinburgh as Tory & Labour politicians argue about flags on football shirts, the queue outside my local food bank, which opens at 10:30, has been growing since 7:30

I stumbled upon Scotland by Alastair Reid recently and I've thought about it a lot since. If I had to explain us all to an alien, I'd show them this poem. I love it

Founded on Eigg, a tiny Scottish island with a population of roughly 110, Lost Map Records isn't just a label; it's a community.

Ageing is the process of becoming increasingly haunted by those you meet and lose. My absent father was always a spectre to me and then he died. I rarely talk about it or him because he was an alcoholic and I was ashamed. This column is an exorcism of that heraldscotland.com/opinion/241781…
