Ken has very kindly/foolishly (delete as appropriate!) handed me the title of Depute Editor for this month, which probably means he can claim complete innocence should there be any errors in issue number 64! However, as he’s been busily working away on Allan Martin’s novella, our £4.99 gift to you this month, then I’m honoured to accept this temporary, and no doubt unpaid, promotion and hope that you’ll enjoy another varied selection of interesting features in your favourite magazine. As ever, iScot has its finger firmly on the pulse of topical issues relevant to Scotland, and the very timely Robbie Dinwoodie interview with Professor Sir Geoff Palmer that kicks off this issue is evidence of that. We’ve also got James Kelly’s analysis of some recent polling, Dr Steve McCabe offering informed comment on the media misrepresentation of Covid19 in care homes, and much more, including lots o bonnie photies o dugs and castles – and why not? We thank you for your continuing support and urge you to keep looking out for each other and stay safe and well – please remember that the virus hasn’t gone away. Keep the heid and mind… it’s coming yet for a’ that! Yours aye,Gordon Craigie
