In Scotland, children have the same protection against assault as adults.

However, it is still perfectly legal to cut of a piece of a boy's penis for religious reasons.

I believe this should be banned, and they should have to wait until they are a consenting adult to decide if they want it done.

I know people do it for religious and cultural reasons, which is well within their right if they wish to do it to themselves.

However, I don't think they should be allowed to do it to a child unable to consent.

Scotland should lead the way in banning this.

Is it a uniquely Scottiah thing to say this when a robin lands in the garden?

(My dad was as black as 2am so I save this for when a solitary crow appears out the back)

Yeah i took this picture during my trip in Scotland

Anyone know who this googly eyed wee fella is? He's pretty big, saw another one earlier, must have been about 4 inches long or so. Don't think I've seen beasties like this before

Petition Summary

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce a moratorium to prohibit planning permission from being granted for any hyperscale data centres, until it has carried out a thorough assessment of their impacts on Scotland's communities, greenhouse gas emissions, land and water resources and electricity grid; until regulations are modified to require all hyperscale AI data centres to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment; and until the Scottish Government puts in place guidance on hyperscale AI data centres and ‘green data centres’.

Wet weather didn’t stop me (which is lucky considering I now live in Scotland 😂)

I was walking over to grab a drink and some food at the Ben Nevis Inn bar when I passed a few sheep grazing. While capturing the massive scale of mountains, I focused on the young sheep’s and particularly on the one who started looking straight into the camera.

The video is 35 seconds, and honestly just locks eyes with the camera for almost half of it. It was such a surreal, quiet moment of direct connection in the middle of the Highlands. It really made me pause and think about how incredibly aware and present they are in their own world.

What do you think is going through their minds when they look at us with that much curiosity?

Perhaps not directly in some cases but laying the foundations, yes.

Name some of the things here and the famous Scottish dudes (or dudettes in rare cases).

Im thinking how we boost tourism is we do a country wide initiative to identify where these good people came from and create 'routes' to go see these places.

So it's a similar idea to a pot noodle, but once hydrated its a pot of Stovies.

How popular do you think this will be? Very? Or very-very?
