West Lothian

And I've been working there ever since.

So one of the things also with kids, not only deliver play therapy in schools in Glasgow and Edinburgh and West Lothian, but we also train play therapists.

So the QMU... course MSc in play therapy is run from our building and it's the play therapists who work there that deliver it I used to deliver play therapy that used to deliver the course module on early development for the MSc

That's Queen Margaret's University that's in Edinburgh but the course is run for play therapy in Glasgow and we met probably about six weeks ago in person.

Stonehaven are 90 minutes plus penalties away from reaching the first round popper of the Scottish Gas Cup.

They take on Blackburn United from West Lothian, looking to try to make it through to the first round of the Scottish Cup.

Earlier this week I caught up with their manager Martin Rolo to see how he feels the Hives prospects are looking ahead of such a big contest for the club.

We want to wish Stonehaven all the very best for that match as they look to make history by becoming only the second north of Scotland Football League side to reach the first round proper of the Scottish Cup.

Good luck to Ryan Christie's team.

That match kicking off at 2.30 in that one.

And then at three o'clock on Saturday, the Scottish Gas Cup preliminary round, Martyn Rollo Stonehaven travelling through to West Lothian to take on Blackburn United.

I think on behalf of the North of Scotland Football League podcast, we want to wish all those clubs all the best, particularly Stonehaven, as they look to try to reach the first round proper of the Scottish Gas Cup.

So yeah, it's a great case.

Next case I'd like to talk about occurred in West Lothian, Scotland, and has come to be known as the Dechmont Woods incident.

This occurred in the Dechmont Woods on November nine, nineteen seventy-nine.

The main witness is forestry worker Robert Taylor.

The other big benefit of it is the attraction and retention, so very mindful of our overall employee offer.

We are based in Livingston, which is in West Lothian, so we're kind of halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Sometimes that can be challenging in terms of recruitment because we're not in either of the big cities.

So our offer, beyond salary and the usual thing, I think is quite compelling and that nine day fortnight hybrid working just gives us a little bit of an added

It started as Livingston Development Corporation, so Livingston's a new town.

So some of the stock's a little bit tired and historically Armand has delivered some new properties from the original stock that came over from the corporation.

It's traditionally been smaller units within West Lothian, within Livingston, but we need to tackle some of our existing properties that are perhaps near an end of life and you would question whether or not you would want to continue to invest the money that we do on our continued investment programme over 30 years.

So the board have been very supportive and positive and is agreeing an approach where we don't just continue to do the new developments,

I mean, the most moving aspects of this book was on the last year of term when...

West Lothian Council sent a reporter to come and take a picture and just put it on West Lothian.

It got over 4,000 likes.

And it was all from ex-pupils.

Yes, for my nails.

And Rona gave me some and she volunteers with a breast cancer charity in West Lothian.

Is this Rona that sent this lovely thing? Yes, yes.

Thank you, Rona.

Like his first marriage, his second was also short-lived, with his wife divorcing him in 1976.

His third marriage occurred over a decade later, in 1989, and also resulted in a child, with the couple moving to Bathgate in West Lothian, Scotland.

This marriage was nearly as short as his first, with his wife leaving in 1990 and returning south to her native city of Portsmouth, Hampshire.

The accounts provided by all three of Tobin's wives were shockingly similar.

Analysts and researchers were drafted in to help review the information collected, looking at everything from where Tobin was living at any one time, where he worked, who his friends were and what car he drove.

The killer lived a nomadic lifestyle, frequently moving from one place to another with little notice, making the investigation complex.

In June 2007, just one month after he had been sentenced for Angelica's murder, a house where he had previously resided in Bathgate, West Lothian, was searched in connection with the disappearance of the schoolgirl in 1991.

On the 10th of February 1991, 15-year-old Vicky Hamilton left her big sister's property and headed off to wait at a bus stop in Livingston, West Lothian, from where she travelled to Bathgate.

But is it? Was it the settled will of the Scottish people? And Kirsty talked about this, and she's exactly right, that there were these two schools of thought about what would happen next.

Would we, Scotland, in the words of the, the, the former, um, West Lothian MP Tam Dalyell, end up on a devolutionary coach down a motorway without exits to, as he put it, a separate Scottish state? Or would we, in the, in the words of, um, the former Secretary-General of NATO and former Scottish secretary Lord Robertson, George Robertson, you know, w- would devolution kill nationalism or kill the SNP stone dead? And as Kirsty rightly said on the '97 episode, neither of those really happened.

And it, within a very short space of time, 1999 just to 2007, the SNP have built power, have gained control of the Scottish government, or the Scottish executive as it was known a- initially.

And they use that as a power base, and they use their control of the Scottish government to build the case for their running Scotland and for there being an independence referendum.
