Ross McNaughton, piping instructor at the Robert Gordon College in Aberdeen, penned Angels Of The Glens in tribute to the crew of Scotland’s only charity-funded helicopter air ambulance service. The 40-year-old from Pitlochry has been piping since he was six years old. He is pipe major with the Vale of Atholl Grade Four Development Pipe Band, and a piper with The Atholl Highlanders.

She travelled to Dundee and Perth yesterday to hear eight street performers audition for a chance to perform with her and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Emeli’s tour will take her across Scotland as she searches for the best performers to join her on her new BBC Scotland show Emeli Sande’s Street Symphony.

Among the topics discussed was raising the current limit from £10 million to £100 million – which could help generate more money for good causes across the country.

Residents in Inchture have welcomed a host of colourful characters into their front gardens, as excitement builds for the village’s comic book-themed summer gala. Families are invited to follow a trail around the area to search for well-known faces like Batman, Superman, Spider-man and Iron Man. Maps for the village’s first Superhero Challenge are on sale at the Olly Bobbins florist and gift shop, with all proceeds going towards gala funds.
