Two traffic-free routes have opened in Skye, to give cyclists and walkers safe and accessible community paths. Routes opened on Moll Road and Old Sleat Road last Friday with funding from Transport Scotland and Highland Council, with design and construction supported by Walking Scotland.

This nonsense annoys me. Architects are, all too often, over-opinionated and under-informed. They inhibit collaboration, promote egos, marginalise communities and stray well beyond their professional knowledge. Cities often seem to have them popping up like mushrooms

Your regular reminder that Scottish 16- and 17-year-olds are legal adults in Scotland. They can vote in our national and local elections. We don't need to regulate which social media youngsters can access, We need to regulate the social media companies which all of us access.

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via

In Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, the Ents are a race of sapient trees whose numbers have dwindled. They've lost the Entwives – and without them their line cannot flourish. So it is with aspen in Scotland. Trees are either male or female and reproduction depends on both being in the same place. 🧵1/4
