The Scottish Government’s post-Brexit plans to encourage migration to “save” rural Scotland seems confusing to the young “working population” struggling to live here. Can we fix the housing CRISIS first, please? @KateForbesMSP @nicolasturgeon #YoungPeopleRuralPlaces

We did it!!! Thank you so, so much to everyone who has helped us get to this point. Ceud mìle taing! We set a stretch target of £50k because we had no idea how this appeal would do! But any further contributions will be gratefully accepted to support the project.

"Rewilding is no different really to any other big land use change. It needs to be something that is done with people, very much involving local communities," says Chief Exec Hamish Trench, appearing on last night's #Eorpa. #Rewilding
