I never bet on my team.  It’s a rule I’ve followed since I was in high school, when I wagered with a Dons-supporting friend that Rangers would beat Aberdeen.  Rangers lost, and I am convinced to this day we would have beaten them if I hadn’t made that bet. So allow me to sit on […]

I am such a fickle chap sometimes. For ages I turned my nose up at Aerials Up for no reason other than they seemed to get a lot of gigs supporting Snow Patrol. What makes me even more stupid is that I actually really like the ‘Patrol, which I guess loses me several indie street […]

This week on Dear Scotland, Mullguy and Bearsden discuss the best place to put the living room telly in another adventure from Weegie animator Swatrick Payze. And what is that brillso programme they’re watching?

Each Sunday we present some of the best new photos of Scotland in the gloaming, the magical time before sunrise or after sunset. This week featuring images of Lewis, East Lothian, Skye and North Uist.

The Old Firm Decider the other week had few highlights, but the one truly memorable moment was something you don’t see very often: a top-drawer penalty save. Samaras struck a decent enough shot, but McGregor guessed well, got down to his left, and stopped the Celtic fans behind him from erupting in delight at a […]

Have I mentioned that the label I co-run have a new album coming out this week? If not, then we have a new album coming out this week from Dundee’s finest, Pensioner. I think they’re going to take quite a few of you by surprise as they’re not exactly folk. I have to give credit […]

This week Scottish animator Swatrick Payze brings us another adventure featuring Davey, as he competes in the world’s fastest car race against some right dodgy characters.
