One of the most experienced broadcasters in Scotland has been axed by BBC Scotland as part of its cost-cutting exercise.
Inverness-based Iain MacDonald, 62, who has been described as Radio Scotland’s voice of the Highlands, has been told that after nearly 34 years with the corporation his post is going.
The National Union of Journalists said it was deeply concerned that Mr MacDonald, who as union spokesman had been prominent in the fight to save 17 journalists’ jobs in Scotland, was going to lose his own.
