Be great if you could sign this petition to keep some green belt green and not built on!
Otherwise Glasgow will be built to EK and Kilmarnock before long!

Such sad news.
Our thoughts and condolences to her family and many friends.
Christina was such a bright, bubbly, warm character, who showed tremendous passion in all that she became involved with.
She helped #Scotlandhour and got us listed in Parliament.
RIP Christina

So sad to hear Christina McKelvie, MSP has passed away. The #Scotlandhour team had the pleasure of meeting up with Christina at the Scottish Parliament.

Winter island ferry trips are even more breathtaking as the light is magical, the mountains reach out to you across azure blue seas. Where are you taking a ferry this winter.

Delighted to see this article in today’s Herald. I see huge opportunities for winter tourism in Scotland. As I wrote in a blog earlier this year.

In this article, I outline four unique reasons to work with someone with tourism experience and chartered marketing expertise,
1. Knowledge of Scotland.
2. Know who the customer is.
3. Up to date with the key trends.
4. Je ne said quoi.

I'd have prawns at the Crinan Canal, venison up in Ballater, and then not care where the Cranachan came from! #Scotlandhour
