Only a short walk from the much better-known Rosslyn Chapel south of Edinburgh is the ruin of the fairy-tale Rosslyn Castle, occupying the summit of an easily defensible rocky promontory. A stone castle was first built here in 1304. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/roslin/rosslyncastle/index.html #Scotland #Midlothian

Two years ago tonight I was fortunate to witness one of the best displays of the Aurora Borealis that I have ever seen. A remarkable sky lit up to the naked eye and made more unique as it was covering most of the southern sky. The first shot is a stitch of around eighteen individual shots in order to fit the whole display into one frame #Aurora #NorthernLights #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

RaiNews: L'ultimatum a Starmer dopo il tracollo alle amministrative: lasci altrimenti sarà sfidato Sempre più membri del Labour chiedono all'inquilino di Downing Street di passare la mano, reduce dalla pesante sconfitta alle elezioni locali in Scozia e Galles. Ma il premier insiste e rilancia: nuove nomine e una strategia di riavvicinamento all'Ue The ultimatum to Starmer after the defeat in the municipal elections: otherwise he will be challenged. More and more Labour MPs are asking the occupant of Downing Street to step aside, following the heavy defeat in the local elections in Scotland and Wales. But the Prime Minister insists and doubles down: new appointments and a strategy to reconnect with the EU. #Starmer #DowningStreet #Scotland #Wales https://www.rainews.it/articoli/2026/05/ultimatum-a-starmer-dopo-il-tracollo-alle-amministrative-lasci-altrimenti-sara-sfidato-817db81b-4acf-41f0-8432-3da312a4b80c.html

Il Fatto Quotidiano: I dazi al 10% imposti da Trump sono illegali: la Corte per il commercio Usa boccia le tariffe approvate a febbraio Poche ore dopo l’ultimatum dato all’Unione europea per rispettare l’accordo commerciale firmato in Scozia, per Donald Trump arriva una bocciatura netta. I dazi del 10% approvati a febbraio sono illegali: lo ha stabilito la Corte per il commercio americana. Secondo la corte le tariffe globali generalizzate imposte dal presidente Usa non trovano giustificazione nella legge a cui ha fatto ricorso. Si tratta di un ulteriore colpo dei giudici alla Casa Bianca che sta tentando di condurre una guerra commerciale senza l’esplicita autorizzazione del Congresso. I giudici si sono espressi a maggioranza, con due voti a favore e uno contrario alla bocciatura: secondo le toghe Trump ha invocato impropriamente una legge commerciale risalente a decenni fa. Trump aveva annunciato le nuove tariffe dopo che già la precedente serie di dazi punitivi era stata annullata dalla Corte Suprema. Intanto poco prima dell’annuncio della Corte, Trump ha dato tempo fino al 4 luglio all’Ue per rispettare gli accordi commerciali. Dopo quella data, il “250esimo compleanno” degli Usa, i dazi schizzeranno “immediatamente a livelli ben più elevati”. In quasi sei ore di negoziati, infatti, il trilogo europeo che riunisce Consiglio, Commissione ed Eurocamera, non è riuscito a trovare una intesa, promettendo però un accordo “il 19 maggio”. L'articolo I dazi al 10% imposti da Trump sono illegali: la Corte per il commercio Usa boccia le tariffe approvate a febbraio proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. The tariffs of 10% imposed by Trump are illegal: the US Trade Court rejects the tariffs approved in February. Hours after an ultimatum was given to the European Union to honor the trade agreement signed in Scotland, Donald Trump received a clear rejection. Tariffs of 10% approved in February are illegal: the U.S. Trade Court has ruled so. According to the court, the generalized global tariffs imposed by the U.S. president do not find justification in the law to which he appealed. It is another blow from the judges to the White House, which is attempting to conduct a trade war without the explicit authorization of the Congress. The judges ruled by majority, with two votes in favor and one against the rejection: according to the judges, Trump had improperly invoked a commercial law dating back decades. Trump had announced the new tariffs after the previous series of punitive tariffs had already been overturned by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, just before the court’s announcement, Trump gave the EU until July 4th to honor trade agreements. After that date, the “250th anniversary” of the U.S., the tariffs will “immediately” rise to much higher levels. In almost six hours of negotiations, the European trilogue, which brings together the Council, the Commission and the Eurochamber, was unable to reach an agreement, promising however an agreement “on May 19th.” Article I: Tariffs of 10% imposed by Trump are illegal: The U.S. Trade Court rejects the tariffs approved in February – from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Trump #theUSTradeCourt #theEuropeanUnion #Scotland #DonaldTrump #theUSTradeCourt #theWhiteHouse #Congress #theSupremeCourt #250th #European #Council #Commission #Eurochamber #TheUSTradeCourt #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/05/08/dazi-trump-illegali-corte-usa-notizie/8379236/

#Scotland #UK Ms Mackay said: “New oil and gas fields will do nothing to lower bills and will only fast-track the climate crisis. “We all need to be honest about that, but the Scottish Greens are the only party prepared to tell the truth. “The SNP and Labour are pretending that new drilling is compatible with climate action, while the Tories and Reform are actively wanting to scrap Scotland’s climate laws.” https://www.whtimes.co.uk/news/national/26081123.greens-party-telling-truth-need-stop-oil-gas-drilling---mackay/ #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Piece in the Scotsman about drystone before my appearance at Boswell Book Festival on 9th May. ‘At the most fundamental level, drystone has made me feel that change is possible. We so rarely get to shape the environments we live in. We so rarely get to be part of an embodied, physical legacy. Drystone has changed my relationship to the past, present and future. To how I experience time and consequence, but also action.’ https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/why-building-drystone-walls-in-perthshire-means-so-much-to-me-8492157#disqus-comment-section #Scotland #UK #Art #Books #Reading #Writing

I'm currently on holiday with @PrinceMumbles@mastodonapp.uk and have been enjoying spending some time here in Scotland, though did entirely forget that Scotland unlike everywhere else in the UK does not in fact have Sunday trading laws so the shops are actually open "Normal times" today. While I don't know if I want to actually get rid of Sunday trading laws elsewhere (As having worked in retail knowing you at least get the Sunday late afternoon / evening off is nice) but it is weird being somewhere in the UK and seeing people leaving supermarkets at 7:30pm on a Sunday! #Scotland #SundayTrading #UKLaw

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Trump aumenta i dazi per l’Ue: “Al 25% su auto e camion”. Bruxelles reagisce: “Inaccettabile, lui partner inaffidabile” Nuova punizione di Donald Trump contro l’Europa. Dopo avere attaccato più volte Italia e Spagna nelle ultime ore per il loro mancato sostegno alla guerra contro l’Iran, il presidente Usa ha deciso di alzare i dazi per le auto europee al 25%, che finora erano al 15%. La decisione – che entrerà in vigore da lunedì 4 maggio – fa infuriare Bruxelles, che reagisce per voce del presidente della commissione commercio internazionale del Parlamento europeo, Bernd Lange. “Il piano di Trump di imporre dazi del 25% sulle auto dell’Ue è inaccettabile” e dimostra che gli Stati Uniti sono un partner “inaffidabile”. “Il Parlamento europeo – ha proseguito – continua a rispettare l’accordo siglato in Scozia, lavorando per finalizzare la legislazione. Mentre l’Ue mantiene gli impegni, la controparte statunitense continua a non rispettarli”, sottolinea il tedesco in un post su X, aggiungendo che “l’Ue deve ora mantenere chiarezza e fermezza”. L’annuncio di Trump – “Sono lieto di annunciare che, in considerazione del fatto che l’Unione Europea non sta rispettando il nostro accordo commerciale, pienamente concordato, la prossima settimana aumenterò i dazi applicati all’Unione Europea su automobili e autocarri in ingresso negli Stati Uniti. Il dazio sarà innalzato al 25%”, ha detto il presidente sul suo social Truth. Trump quindi precisa che sulle auto prodotte negli stabilimenti americani non ci saranno dazi. “È pienamente inteso e concordato che, qualora tali automobili e autocarri saranno prodotti in stabilimenti americani, non verrà applicato alcun dazio. Numerosi impianti sono attualmente in fase di costruzione, con investimenti superiori ai 100 miliardi di dollari, un record nella storia dell’industria automobilistica”, ha messo in evidenza Trump. L'articolo Trump aumenta i dazi per l’Ue: “Al 25% su auto e camion”. Bruxelles reagisce: “Inaccettabile, lui partner inaffidabile” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Trump raises tariffs on the EU: “25% on cars and trucks.” Brussels responds: “Unacceptable, he is an unreliable partner.” New Punishment by Donald Trump Against Europe. Following repeated attacks on Italy and Spain in recent hours for their lack of support for the war against Iran, the U.S. President has decided to raise tariffs on European cars to 25%, up from 15%. The decision – which will take effect starting Monday, May 4th – enrages Brussels, which responds through the voice of European Parliament International Trade Committee President, Bernd Lange. “Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on EU cars is unacceptable” and demonstrates that the United States is an “unreliable” partner. “The European Parliament – he continued – continues to respect the agreement signed in Scotland, working to finalize legislation. While the EU maintains its commitments, the U.S. counterpart continues to not respect them,” the German stated in a post on X, adding that “the EU must now maintain clarity and firmness.” Trump’s announcement – “I am pleased to announce that, in consideration of the fact that the European Union is not honoring our fully agreed-upon trade agreement, next week I will raise tariffs applied to the European Union on automobiles and trucks entering the United States. The tariff will be raised to 25%,” the President said on his social Truth platform. Trump then clarifies that no tariffs will be applied to cars produced in American factories. “It is fully understood and agreed that, should such automobiles and trucks be produced in American factories, no duty will be applied. Numerous plants are currently in the construction phase, with investments exceeding $100 billion, a record in the history of the automotive industry,” Trump highlighted. The article Trump increases tariffs on the EU: “25% on cars and trucks.” Brussels reacts: “Unacceptable, he is an unreliable partner” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #Brussels #DonaldTrump #Europe #Italy #Spain #European #BerndLange #Trump #theUnitedStates #Scotland #German #theEuropeanUnion #American #IlFattoQuotidiano https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/05/01/trump-aumenta-i-dazi-per-leuropa-visto-che-non-rispetta-il-nostro-accordo-salgono-al-25-su-auto-e-camion/8372685/
