This is the story of which I was proudest while I was at the Press & Journal. Erika Schulhof’s story was tragic, but she had so many good memories of the kindness shown to her by Scotland. I only got the chance to talk to Erika months before her death! www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/past-time...

On my own: The remarkable story of Erika Schulhof's escape to Aberdeen from Nazi horror

She was the youngster who enjoyed a magical childhood in Austria before being forced to flee from the Nazis to a convent boarding school in Aberdeen.

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

I talked to former Scotland star Chris Cusiter about this weekend’s lip-smacking Six Nations Championship finale. The Aberdonian is quietly confident about the Scots’ prospects and said some interesting things about Ireland! www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle...

Aberdeen rugby star Chris Cusiter: ‘Scotland have their best chance yet'

The 70-times-capped Scotland Test star believes Scotland have played the best rugby he's ever seen from them in the Six Nations.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

The World Cup in America could be a Trump-dominated travesty of a tournament. Andrew Smith, the head of the Scottish Football Union, has called for the sport to launch a fans’ charter to avoid ticket rip-offs. But he’s fearful about this summer’s event! www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/6944...

Scottish football supporters chief calls for new 'fans charter' after World Cup controversies

Andrew Smith knows that the Tartan Army will travel to America, but believes they are being ripped off by the sport's governing body.

I love fish and chips, but the Ashvale in Aberdeen is more than just a retail outlet. It’s a community and Stewart Devine is a great charity stalwart. But he’s only stating the obvious: the hospitality sector is on its knees and politicians aren’t helping! www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/business/...

Boss of Aberdeen's Ashvale chipper says rising costs making it 'near impossible'

The owners of Mike's Famous Fish and Chips and Herdy's Dolphin also say trading conditions are the worst in decades.
