A dusting of snow this morning when I left Gartymore. More than a dusting tonight as we drive back from Caithness.
Beautiful though!

Stormy #dailymile this morning in Gartymore!
Great to hear @mareetodd.bsky.social note the #PublicHealth case against changing the law on alcohol in football stadia π
But we've yet to see any sign that the so called 'pilots' constitute the 'robust, independent research' demanded by football authorities' own exploratory research.

Two women and three men stood smiling at the camera
The team at our Stirling-based service were delighted to welcome @mareetodd.bsky.social, Minister for Drugs & Alcohol Policy & Sport in Scotland, earlier this week.
They discussed key interventions, challenges & the Minister expressed her commitment to harm reduction and drug death prevention.
Itβs been a challenging start to 2026 but I managed out for a wee run on my #dailymile today.
Itβs raining & thawing here in the west which means a LOT of water but fingers crossed weβll avoid flooding.
A small but perfectly formed team out in snowy Thurso for our @theSNP national campaign day.
Too many of my constituents experience fuel poverty.
Scotlandβs energy wealth should benefit the people who live here.
Independence is how we achieve that! π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
Loch Droma was frozen solid today & An Teallach bathed in pink.
