Correct. Started ~2.5 million years ago. However we are also (& somewhat confusingly) in an interglacial period, of which these have been over 50 in the same timeframe.

There is already a "Scottish Independence" feed which is mostly pretty good. But I'll give your new one a go too. Cheers

So it seems that Scottish male capercaillie are generally very aggressive and the notorious Glen Tanar one isn't unusual. Anyway a nice encounter 😁

Was that Glen Tanar by any chance?

So disappointing. It is like the dead hand of Fergus Ewing still holds sway 😒

Thanks for the link - I'll take a look latter 👍

Skimmed through this over lunch & my only moan it that it is still pussyfooting about currency. There should be a new Scottish pound within a handful weeks of independence. How can it complain about Westminster rule but still be in hock to the Bank of England?

I take it that was from the south? Got as far as the Falls of Tarf from the Linn of Dee, but yet to tackle it from Blair Atholl. Looks wonderful 😊

Well thanks to User:ScotPollster1974 this has now been fixed 😀

Not sure if they (the Greens) have updated that article since it was first published but there are now 2 or 3 candidates for most regions and only 3 regions have just one candidate. So no shortage of candidates if they do very well in the list vote.

One for @ballotbox.scot ?

My, how convenient

Strange that this post has got zero likes 😆

Wow. I really need to visit Iceland, especially when there is still lots of snow about. I guess March would be a good time, combining snow & aurora?

Another one for olive oil 🫒
