Scotland an archipelago of European islands. Our mainland island sharing a land border with England. 100+ islands western fringes of Europe. Broadcasting 24/7.

Scottish Island Radio sprang out of ideas crystallised over two years ago. It went live soon after. The best of Scottish music 24/7 followed but it’s time for a step up in listener experience beyond the automated playlists.

Scheduled themed music slots across the week are underway. An initial ad hoc live talk show will then lead to a regular live show. In turn others will host their own regular shows.

Delighted to get this winter project started - I’m sharing traditional Scottish session tunes from NE Scotland for 10 weeks. I’ll be uploading Videos weekly of the tunes being played on various flutes and whistles. There’s a free PDF of the tunes as well. The first video is up.

Ferry funny. 🤣🤣
#FERRY... or not!
In winter, we have 4 ferries a week to/from the mainland port of Mallaig. Our last ferry was on Wednesday. Today's has been cancelled due to wind and sea swell. Will it go tomorrow? The forecast suggests possibly not. The next ferry is on Monday.
Result = lots of people stuck in Mallaig who were trying to get here. People stuck here who were due to go off for appointments, holidays, work, or go home after their holiday on Eigg. It's frustrating, but it's island life. #patience

Re that last boost - this is something I really hope we see change over the coming years with the various plans to improve the city centre.

We have fantastic parks in Glasgow - Glasgow Green, Kelvingrove, Pollok, Queens Park and so many more - but the city centre itself is so dismally grey.

We found Britain's greenest city centre – and its least green

Where does your city rank?
