YOU describe our First Minister's furious activity in talking to anyone in Europe who might serve her obsession with independence (“Sturgeon in EU survival talks as PM calls for unity”, The Herald, June 28). Included is Gibraltar. Perhaps Gibraltar should exercise a little caution. The United Kingdom might quietly decide to hand a "troublesome rock in the Mediterranean" over to an ever so happy Spain.

I HEAR that some people believe if you don't like the result of a vote you just decide to have another vote. Don't do it, Muirfield.

DID those English who voted to leave the EU not realise that it applied not only to their country but to their football team as well?

THEIR names will be whispered with reverence by future generations of Scots. Along with Bruce and Wallace, heroes of the 13th and 14th centuries, we will salute our heroes of 21st century Scottish Independence. Thanks Boris, Nigel. We couldn't have done it without you.

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
