That’s what I think about his view on Scotland’s national language, which is fighting for its very survival. I spoke to John Morrison, the chairman of MG Alba, which creates high-quality TV programmes for the channel. I wonder if Mr Marr has ever watched any of them before bumping his gums! #JohnMorrison #BBCALBA #WesternIsles #Gaelic https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6382558/john-morrison-gaelic-survival-mg-alba/

It was a tragedy, but the couple have chosen to take part in a series of initiatives to help the seven children’s charities who offered them and their wee boy so much support. They have just walked the West Highland Way and raised nearly £20,000. They will keep campaigning! #KayleighsWeeStars #FriendsofAnchor https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/health-and-wellbeing/6572544/ruth-and-peter-lost-their-son-to-cancer-but-not-without-a-fight/
