In today’s Scotsman: 11 April 2019

1. Of course, the simulated photo of the Black Hole in galaxy M87.
2. Macron unhappy with Brexit being delayed risking EU Renaissance.
3. Varadkar (Eire President) plugs for UK to remain in Customs Union with EU.
4. Traffic linked to Asthma.
5. The face of Bonnie Prince Charlie (doesn’t look that bonnie to me).
6. Borders Rail trains overcrowded and often cancelled (I’m a train buff).
7. Another story on the Derry Girls and how true to the life of the times they are. Good TV but a few times is enough.
8. And in Real Homes an estate in Kilchoan Knoydart is up for sale for £5m.

Number 8 particularly interests me because it is adjacent to/ south of the Knoydart Foundation where we have good friends.

For the sales blurb on the Kilchoan Estate see https://www.onthemarket.com/details/6572192/

But to know more of the Knoydart Foundation go to http://www.knoydart-foundation.com/.  The main village of the Foundation can only be got to by boat from Mallaig.

The Kilchoan Estate is a Sporting Estate; I’m not a fan of Sporting Estates but I realise red deer need to be culled but I would rather it was for meal not for sport.

It would excellent if the Foundation could buy the Estate. I can but hope.

BTW today is yet another day when we didn’t leave the EU; I hope there will be many more.
