The disconnect between the Scottish Parliament and the realities of the rural economy is alive and well, if the reaction to the Scottish Government's land reform proposals is anything to go by.
Agenda suspects that the latest round of laird-bashing reinforces a stereotype of Scotland's landowners hogging their riches while a legion of potential community owners is crying out to take it over.
The realities of rural ownership in Scotland are very different, as ministers such as John Swinney privately know very well - which is why he is consistently complimentary about the very rich, very posh and well-managed Atholl Estate, for example. There are also large areas of Scotland where community appetite for assuming the duties of land ownership is almost entirely lacking.
Given a chance to create a new private-public approach, which acknowledges the investment and creativity that goes into managing huge areas of often poor-quality land, Nicola Sturgeon's administration has gone for the cheap headlines of least resistance - not a great sign for the economic growth agenda in general.
Congratulations to the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at Edinburgh University which scooped the best innovation prize at this year's Scottish Renewables Green Energy Awards.
Agenda can attest that it resembles Hell's Jacuzzi - a 25-metre circular pool capable of transforming itself into the North Sea during a raging storm at the flick of the switch, simulating multi-directional waves, currents and even strange conical spouts, before restoring itself instantly to eerie calm. In other words, you can give your new kit a work-out without ever leaving the capital's southern suburbs.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
