Interviewing the ‘King’ of a ‘lost African tribe’ in Scotland was not something I ever expected to be doing but here we are.

Four snaps from today's nine-goal thriller in the Borders saw The Shire run out 6-3 winners over Gala Fairydean Rovers at Netherdale.

Blair Henderson opening the scoring for the hosts when he slotted the ball beyond the keeper.

A few snaps from tonight's @spflofficial.bsky.social KDM Evolution Cup game saw Spartans and Peterhead share the spoils in a 1-1 draw.

Great to see the council are in control of things.

I present to you the £3.29 bottle of Sprite from WH Smith in Glasgow Central.

Clearly taking the p!ss with the price.

A few snaps from a wander around Edinburgh today.

A few snaps of the Netherdale Stadium in Galashiels, home to @fairydeanrovers. The now A-listed stand was the work of Peter Womersley, one of the great unsung heroes of Scottish post-war architecture.

A few phone snaps from a trip up north.

All the action shots from today's John McLay Memorial Trophy at Olivebank as @MusselburghAth ran out 3-2 winners over @fairydeanrovers with an injury time penalty the difference between the teams.

I'm taking on Big Golf Race 2025 I'm raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.

Jacob and I are taking part in the Prostate Cancer Big Golf Race and hoping to raise £250. If you can spare a couple of quid we would be delighted.

A lovely sunset last night.

Scotland’s First Minister @JohnSwinney pays tribute to Pope Francis after attending Mass in Edinburgh hours after the passing of the Holy Father.

Another round in and thankfully it stayed dry despite the muckle black clouds.

A little phone snap of tonight’s sunset over Edinburgh.

Stunning Loch Morlich.

📽️ All the goals from tonight’s @parksmotorgroup @OfficialSLFL game between @WeeJambos and @csstrollers where the visitors picked up all three points with a 2-0 win.

A little video look at Gas Holder 1 in Edinburgh from the sky.

A decent game in Midlothian tonight saw @BonnyriggRose pick up all three points with a 3-1 win over @StranraerFC in tonight’s league game. Four goals and a very decent steak and haggis pie.
