Scotland's cosmetic regulation requires more than a superficial facelift
Regulations for non-surgical treatments are required, but these must not squeeze out qualified cosmetic practitioners

It’s Burns Night and I’m doing my annual “let’s see what miniatures I’ve picked up at things over the last year” sweep of the kitchen cupboards… (That said, I’m at the age where I need to admit to myself that, just like a poem, I’ll never know if a dram is any good or not.)

Or “There’s a lot of Edinbuggeringabout” as Robbie Coltrane famously said that new year
Glasgow was European City of Culture in 1990, beating the likes of Edinburgh and Liverpool.
In this image from October 1989, a brochure entitled 'There's a lot Glasgowing on in 1990' was launched to celebrate the city becoming Europe's cultural capital.
