Feeling sorry for the tech guys at @rugbyontnt ? This is a massive issue during the last 5 mins of a playoff final game !

Great to be at @oxfordfarming conference again to start 2026. “Being Human in a Changing World” session making us reflect on our characters and how fixed we are in mindset and how change decisions impact us. Super to start the year reflecting and connecting.

Great to have @FarmstrongScot kicking off the day at AgriScot. Reminding us all about the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. Great to hear from Catriona and Jack about what they do for wellbeing. Strong @SAYFC theme coming through from both.

THIS is how Scotland qualify for a World Cup.
Take a bow, Kenny McLean.

A week of events in my new role, great to join the @tenantfarmers webinar on Tuesday and today’s @NFU Tenants Conference at the @3countiesshows Showground. Lots of positive discussion and plenty for the team to get started on.

Having been involved in the initial idea germinating it’s great to see @FarmstrongScot going from strength to strength and having such a positive impact on the people in the sector - take a look and spread the word.

Poor Darcy Graham will be asking what he did wrong for his game time on ball to be missed in coverage.

The Only reason we kept SkySports was for the Lions coverage as the remainder of the rugby offering has eroded so much. This isn’t much of an offering and is so disappointing

Premier Sports obviously haven’t been supporting Scottish sport for long - tempting fate with that tag ! Hope they keep the momentum going with them.

Spotted something interesting on a walk - thought the grey patches on Oil Seed Rape were mould, but turns out they were aphids. Then came the ladybirds, doing their thing. Love seeing nature step in to help the farmers 🐞🌾

I’m musically inept, but I absolutely love the Pianos in Stations concept. Sat at Waverley this am and a couple of folk have just jumped on and entertained and engaged us. Fighting the station noise, but giving a piece of creativity or inspiration - thank you 🙏🏻

Some amazing efforts going into helping with MND fundraising. These cycles are inspiring and humbling in equal measure.

Nick, who is living with MND, is determined to not let his diagnosis stop him from doing what he can, all whilst generously raising funds and awareness for MND charities at the same time 💙💛

What a stunning day, East Lothian at its best.
ALT A meandering path of red is carpeted in pine needles weaves its way through mature trees with sunshine and shadows. A stunning blue sky peeks through the gaps in the trees.
