Great morning spent in a bog! We cannot under estimate the power of our boggy peatlands in carbon sequestration and in enabling biodiversity to flourish.

We even saw frogs, hares, curlews and pheasants 🐸🌿

Solidarity with #NUJSTVStrike journalists today who are seeking #FairPay
As someone with a degree in journalism & communications, I believe fully in supporting a thriving media and STV is my go-to for news.

Like 75% of my constituents in CCDV I support changing the law on #AssistedDying
As a humanist & a daughter who watched her mother suffer with terminal cancer with no other option but to starve herself, this belief is core to my humanity. Liam McArthur MSP's Bill published today 🙌

Today is #PurpleDay2024 and I will be wearing a lovely wee purple heart in memory of Jess who died suddenly from epilepsy whilst waiting on treatment for her seizures in 2022. Thank you to Libby for making a heart for every MSP 💜 #DoingItAllForJess #EpilepsyAwareness

Continuing with non political posts...here is my Dad on his wedding day (backrow middle) with his family The McLeods. I always think my Papa was like a mafia Don in this photo 😉 my youngest aunt was 8 here and I was only a few months from being born. Love a big family ❤️

Happy 69th birthday to my faither ❤️ a strong, caring dad who despite losing a daughter & losing work when industry closed.. took his young family at the age of 24 to the otherside of the Atlantic for a better life. He will always be my first hero x

A whole decade today without my mum. I miss her so and would have really benefitted from her love and wise counsel this past year. Her name was Irene and she was all kinds of awesome 💜

Please support organisations like Back Off Scotland and Abortion Rights Scotland. Women should not face harassment when accessing healthcare.
