Is transport a right.
So after the fire next to Glasgow Central Station I mentioned last week the station has been closed along with every line running to the Southside of Glasgow. It's the busiest station in Scotland with more than 80,000 passengers daily yet not a single extra bus or replacement service has been running. As you can imagine the buses and roads have been chaos. Which got me thinking. Is transport a right? Do governments have a duty to provide public transport and an alternative when things go wrong? Vote in the poll and explain why in the comments

Where is the castle?
I went to visit a castle the other day. Here are some Scots - and a few English ones I used to describe it's location. Do you know or can you guess what they mean Nae far fae ma maw's hoose Up the road a wee bit Just alang the way Roon the corner Just ower the way A stone's throw In spitting distance On my doorstep

Restoring History
A huge fire destroyed one of Glasgow's historic buildings this weekend. Now a big debate has started: what should replace it? Some people say historic buildings are beautiful but hard and expensive to convert to modern standards. They can be energy-inefficient and difficult to make accessible. Others argue modern buildings are boring and soulless compared to the bold architecture of the industrial era. So what do you think—protect historic character or build modern and sustainable? Let me know in the comments.
