Shaken, not stirred: James Bond aficionados waiting for the delayed launch of the new movie No Time To Die will be able to pass the time by taking one of Scottish tour operator Rabbie’s new private tours for
007 fans.
A two-day round trip tour from Edinburgh, taking in “gadgets, cars, castles and tipples to give fans the full Bond experience”, features drives through areas used in The Spy Who Loved Me and a visit to the Scottish headquarters of MI6 – Eilean Donan castle – in The World Is Not Enough. We’re sure Miss Moneypenny
will approve.
Massacre of Glencoe: It’s not every day you meet someone who can trace their family bloodline back to the Massacre of Glencoe, but David Macdonald, an engineering graduate from the University of Dundee and the current executive vice-president and chief sales officer at global analytics company SAS, claims just that.
In Scotland, to visit the US group’s R&D centre in Glasgow, Mr Macdonald said his father recently reminded him of the historic day in February 1692 when members of the MacDonald clan of Glencoe were slaughtered by soldiers under Archibald Campbell, the 10th Earl of Argyll.
Interestingly, the SAS centre in Glasgow is in Argyle Street.
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
