Nasa heads to Scottish Highlands in its search for life on Mars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nasa scientists are studying rocks in the Scottish Highlands to help them understand if there was once life on Mars. The US space agency announced last year that its Perseverance rover had found potential biosignatures, markings on rocks possibly made by ancient microbes. This summer, scientists took samples from a geological feature called the Stoer Formation, external around Clachtoll, in Assynt, in the north-west Highlands. Nasa said the area's rocks formed in environments comparable to ancie
Diesel prices exceed £2 a litre at forecourts across Scotland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The price of diesel has exceeded £2 a litre at hundreds of Scottish forecourts, according to analysis by BBC Scotland News. Some of the highest prices can be found at garages in Scotland's islands, where fuel is 50p a litre more expensive than that sold at supermarkets in the central belt.

The cap is running as a pilot in six local authority areas and First Minister John Swinney announced it is to be extended to cover journeys in the west of Scotland from Monday. Ember, which operates intercity routes across Scotland, said it was "strongly supportive" of the new scheme's goals but warned the "system needs to be built carefu
Concerns months-long sewer work will 'gridlock' Nairn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A planned £3.4m sewer upgrade risks causing gridlock in Nairn while bringing "marginal" environmental benefits, community groups have said. Scottish Water said its work on a storm overflow chamber and sewer pipeline in the town's Lochloy Road area would bring "important improvements" and avoid having to set up roadworks on the nearby A96. The utility company said the work along Lochloy Road could take two months and construction in a nearby car park about eight months. Nairn Improvement Communit
