Peaceful climate protesters have just been sentenced to years in jail. And they’re appealing. Join me in telling the new government to scrap Tory anti-protest law now and #StopJailingTruthTellers secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

Do yourself a favour and take a few minutes to listen to his beautiful rendition of Ye Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon, sung by Isobel Mieras, 82, accompanying herself on the clarsach.
Thank you, Isobel, for sharing this lovely song for #BurnsNight

The arts are important, they are not a luxury. They wash the dust of our daily lives from our souls. The arts transform lives and give us the power to question, to confront and explore, to challenge how we think about the world. Please think again @scotgov
