Fabulous day campaigning in NW Sutherland. Morning in Durness, afternoon in Kinlochbervie.

Thank you to everyone who took time to chat with us.

We met many lovely dogs today but this Newfie was a big friendly bear!

Great to hear @mareetodd.bsky.social note the #PublicHealth case against changing the law on alcohol in football stadia πŸ‘

But we've yet to see any sign that the so called 'pilots' constitute the 'robust, independent research' demanded by football authorities' own exploratory research.

Gorgeous #dailymile (5km run) - still icy but Loch Achall basking in winter sunshine! 😎

The team at our Stirling-based service were delighted to welcome @mareetodd.bsky.social, Minister for Drugs & Alcohol Policy & Sport in Scotland, earlier this week.

They discussed key interventions, challenges & the Minister expressed her commitment to harm reduction and drug death prevention.

It’s been a challenging start to 2026 but I managed out for a wee run on my #dailymile today.

It’s raining & thawing here in the west which means a LOT of water but fingers crossed we’ll avoid flooding.

A small but perfectly formed team out in snowy Thurso for our @theSNP national campaign day.

Too many of my constituents experience fuel poverty.

Scotland’s energy wealth should benefit the people who live here.

Independence is how we achieve that! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loch Droma was frozen solid today & An Teallach bathed in pink.

I will never tire of this view - it’s the way home ❀️

Cracking morning putting surveys out in Achiltibuie. We paused at Lorg na CΓ²igich - the stunning new art installation commemorating the successful 1850s land struggles. Led by women, the people rose up against the injustice of the clearances - and won!

Started my day in Dornoch Academy, finished it in Lyth Arts Centre & in between I was delivering surveys on a glorious morning in Halkirk & a beautiful afternoon in Thurso.

Caithness, Sutherland & Ross is both vast and lovely!

A very short & gray December day today but our #dailymile at Inverbroom was lovely.

Just a couple weeks until the days get longer again ❀️

Really lovely day campaigning at home in Ullapool yesterday - thanks to everyone who chatted to us.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas….

Some of our current clients also shared their experiences and the progress they have made since coming to Abbeycare.

Thank you for coming along today, and for your ongoing support!

The Minister took a tour; spoke to the team about the services provided by Abbeycare; our aftercare and community projects, including Abbeycare Buddies, our partnership with St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation and The Recovery Collective; and the role of sport in community and recovery. (2/3).

Thank you to @mareetodd.bsky.socialΒ for coming along to our Families Voices event today. Having heard directly from our mums affected by substance use, we hope that intensive support can be expanded to more mothers and their children which will give children a better start in life.

Gorgeous crossing back to Ullapool. Flat calm in the loch, pink tinted skies & snow on the hills.

Lovely 😍

Thoroughly enjoyed our crossing in the tail end of a storm.

We couldn’t see the gorgeous hills of Wester Ross or North West Sutherland but the sea was wild & beautiful!

Check out our wee saltire battling wind & waves.

A wild day in the North West Highlands but Cooper had fun chasing deer (too old to catch them) and gathering seaweed.

I’m hopefully getting the ferry to Stornoway this morning - luckily I have decent sea legs.

Looking forward to some SNP campaigning & a St Andrews night do!

An immense privilege to present Scotland’s goal shooter Emma Barrie with player of the match tonight.

A great win for the Thistles vs Cymru in the Celtic Cup.

Well done!

Cracking commute to Invergordon this morning - visiting South Lodge Primary for democracy week.

-6C but the sky was pink, the road was black & the deer were easy to spot!

Lovely 😍
