SCRIPT
About 150 'Yes' supporters for Scottish independence gathered at The Radical Road pub in Edinburgh Thursday to watch the results of the referendum. The pub has been supporting 'yes' campaigners for years, and is a favourite haunt of Scottish National Party (SNP) members.
The evening began with traditional Scottish bagpipes and drinking songs. The pub is the only bar in Edinburgh to have a licence to sell alcohol until 08.00 local time (0700 GMT).
Most of the pub's decor is pro-independence, and its manager, Martin, is a member of the Tartan Army - devout fans of the Scotland national football team.

William Wallace Doorway Kilspindie Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the William Wallace doorway on visit to Kilspindie, Perthshire. This recently discovered door connected Kilspindie Church to the path to Kilspindie Castle of which there are no remains, though some of the stones are built into Kilspindie Church. The original castle was the home of the uncle of William Wallace and it is known that he spent much of his childhood here and would have often walked through this door to attend church services.

The Gamekeeper - Documentary
As the sun breaks through the morning mist, we are approaching the solitary house at the foothills of Scottish Highlands where the gamekeeper Tam Cullen live with his wife. It is not too far away from the busy A9 road which connects the Scottish towns of Perth and Inverness but distant enough from any other signs of civilization. The ambient sound of light wind that blows down the slopes of the hills above fills the silence of this chilly morning. Tam suddenly appears in the main door of his farmhouse observing the weather conditions. He is preparing for a deer stalk and he wants to be sure that the weather won't turn bad when he walks up to the hills.
Tam knows the moorland and the hills surrounding his farmhouse very well as he lives there for more than 15 years. He moved to the countryside from Glasgow as he loves the nature and he always wanted to be a gamekeeper.
Game keeping is a very old profession. Nowadays, gamekeepers are still concerned about poachers but their main work is to help pheasants, partridges, hares and grouse to thrive in the countryside. Looking after the woods, hedgerows and fields in which the game birds and animals live is crucial. Most game birds need good grassy cover in which to nest, plenty of food and protection from rats and crows which would otherwise attack and eat the chicks. Hares need open country and protection from foxes. Because lots of other wild birds and animals benefit from these things too, game keeping helps to ensure a balanced countryside with plentiful wildlife.
Game keeping can be a lonely job, involving hard work at anti-social hours and often for low pay, although normally the employer will provide a house and a vehicle. Tam Cullen is not an exception and although the payment is not excellent he love his job to the bone. He's sitting in the kitchen talking passionately about the life of game animals whilst his wife is making him another coffee. He is proud owner of his two hunting dogs but unfortunately one of them is deaf and too old. He would not be able to help Tam with his job again but he is part of the family and will stay at the house for the rest of his life.
The deer is an essential part of the Scottish land management that benefits not only moorlands but also farmlands and other habitats. Left unchecked, deer numbers would reach the point where the highlands of Scotland would be heavily over-grazed and moors would become grassland and forest would fail as sapling were grazed recruitment prevented.
Agricultural returns would also decline as sheep and cattle compete with deer for adequate grazing. In this scenario, the health of the dear would also decline as they will run out of the food. To manage deer numbers effectively many estates have formed Deer Management Groups to ensure their effective control within defined area and to publicise access information during the cull.
National Cycle Network Scottish Highlands Route 7 Aberfeldy Pitlochry Killiecrankie Blair Atholl
Part of a series covering cycling in the highlands of Scotland - Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 7 Lochs and Glens North (Glasgow - Inverness). Watch for new sections as they get added. The routes are all done as return trips so you can see the conditions and scenery in both directions and are intended to give you a feel for the route, gradient and surface - as well as showcasing the beautiful scenery.
Aberfeldy sits at 90m just off route 7 which runs along the north side of the Tay here.
After crossing the Tay on General Wade’s bridge we head east at Weem and follow an undulating minor road gradually down stream to 64m, cross the bridge here to avoid the main road then climb to about 90m above the south bank of the Tay for some fine views and gradually down again to about 62m at the impressive old railway bridge at Logierait where the Tay and the Tummel merge.
Cross the main road here and theres a short steep steep climb of about 20m, some more undulating single track road and a final steep 30m up to a farm at 125m with a great view over Pitlochry, then down again crossing the river Tummel at 80m on the suspension footbridge (note no cycling!)
A gradual climb up the main street of Pitlochry, exiting the end of the town at about 115m, then up through Killiecrankie high above the river Garry to around 165m before dropping down to Blair Atholl at 135m.
Overall, there are some steep sections but they are short and the signposted 14% at Killiecrankie doesn’t last long and really doesn’t seem that steep. The main hazard is probably the busy road section through Pitlochry and Killiecrankie to Blair Atholl. It’s the old A9 and still carries a lot of tourist and local traffic.
Surface – It’s all tarmac apart from a short 100m section you easily bypass.
One hint – I happened to park outside the Breadalbane bakery and tea room in Dunkeld street Aberfeldy – that’s the main way in from the A9 and picked up a really nice (and good size) empire biscuit before starting off - they also have public toilets.
