Some irritation at FM being asked about a reserved issue. Worth pointing out that the SG, last month, called for energy powers to be devolved to Holyrood, so it’s reasonable to expect John Swinney holds a view Other reserved issues: whisky duty, foreign affairs, independence

Huge numbers of geese at the Eden estuary by St Andrews, Fife. What a glorious sight. Hundreds of thousands of migratory geese arrive in Scotland each autumn from the Arctic, Iceland, Greenland and Norway. And they don’t need a taxpayer funded hotel to accommodate them.
