Nick you were such an amazing, talented, kind-hearted and funny guy. You always greeted everyone with a smile and everyone loved you. What a loss - you’ll be so missed.

TV journalism is an art. Go and watch @alittl on tonight’s BBC ten o’clock for an example of how not to waste a single shot; word; or brush stroke.

Journo Request - I'm looking to speak to a family in central belt Scotland who have both a child/children in primary school and in S4-6. Any help greatly appreciated!
ScotGov has released its external legal advice from the Salmond judicial review. It's basically set out as a timeline of documents; starting from 27 Sept, when counsel were satisfied that most grounds were "weak", but there was "real risk" over the ground of procedural unfairness
