How a bunch of nerds saved the Waverley from the scrapheap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Essentially, the beloved paddle steamer Waverley – launched at the A & J Inglis shipyard, by the Kelvin estuary, 80 years ago today – is in the happiness business. When she sails up or down the Clyde, folk scurry to wave from riverside apartments. Whenever she calls at a given pier – be it Greenock, Kilcreggan or Clacton-on-Sea – it is an event. Her very crew ooze cheer. The good humour is infectious. Fast you set your cares aside, leaning over the rail as the paddle wheels race in their eight-b

In the end, I surprise her; turn up at Stornoway Airport to see my girl off after four weeks in the isle of Lewis. She struggles to hide her delight. Those dark eyes as acute as ever: arrayed in well-fitted black – the colour has always suited her – with sequined detail and jewellery. She yet sews or alters her own clothes; for the magnificent, bouffant up-do she wore through the years of our first acquaintance, they whisper she even made her own hats. We hold hands for a minute or two, and chat
JOHN MacLEOD: Whisky war with England won't leave Scotch on the rocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The timing was darkly funny. Shortly before the secessionist leaders of the bits of Britain that are not English prepared to meet and scheme in Wales the other day – rather like a cabal of Batman villains – the Government very quietly made an announcement. It was revealed at 5pm last Friday that English whisky was now granted ‘protected geographical indication status’ and is, in its own right, an amber nectar indeed. With only two sitting-days this week before Parliament goes into recess for par
JOHN MacLEOD: How our politicians have failed Scotland's children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) – an objective look at Scottish school outcomes under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development that even SNP ministers cannot wriggle out of – has been a Caledonian embarrassment. This year, Pisa’s number-crunching is a national humiliation. Scotland’s schoolchildren have slumped to a record low in maths and reading skills. In some subjects, they are more than a year behind their peers in Englan
As SNP drags us back to the 70s, is it time to buy in bulk? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For two nightmarish years, as Covid-19 cackled around us, I had to shield my elderly parents in Edinburgh and serve as the designated shopper. Our three debit cards between us ensconced in my wallet, I ventured out daily for the papers and, once a week, for a sort of Sack of Troy expedition to several major supermarkets, all dotted around Oxgangs. Be-masked, of course. But something we all seem, oddly, to have forgotten is that good food, during our protracted immiseration, became very cheap. Th
