Scottish Times

In the interests of shabby self-promotion -- as some of you may have noticed from recent punts on social media, the Scottish edition of the Times has been carrying a few bits and pieces from me of late, most recently a fairly critical, godless look at the emergence of the new anti-abortion group, Don't Stop a Human Heart, and the ailing and somtimes unappealling Scottish religious institutions which have given it birth. 

I've also contributed pieces on the raw, unglamorous perseverance which lies at the heart of the SNP tradition and an extremely uncharitable look at the late, great Secretary of State for Scotland. On a personal basis, this is a splendid opportunity to inflict my outlook and preoccupations on part of the Scottish population which has largely escaped the experience before. You might also think it no bad thing, that the Thunderer north of the Tweed is making a little space for a pro-independence, Nat-sympathetic voice.

I'll be giving my pieces a shameless nudge on Twitter and on the peaty Facebook page. There is always the paywall of doom to contend with, but if you are interested, you can always - in the timeworn phrase - buy a paper.
