The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered. If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.

Island Games
Follow the results and see the Medals Tables here.
Its nice to know that people from Lewis were enjoying themselves and competing in the Island Games on the Sabbath. The rest of us could enjoy a walk past a locked up Sports Centre in Stornoway on the way to the Pub.
Do you not despair of the types who frequent your site Angus? Not one of your contributors felt the need to congratulate Eilidh Mackenzie on winning Gold in the 1500m or Alison Campbell winning a Bronze in the 10,000m. Apart from Davie the rest of these 'one tune pipers' should be ashamed of themselves. What a sad bunch.
BBC Alba has all the news too - along with video and a diary from Derek Pluto and the team
