BRITAIN'S PREDATORS - HOW DO WE FEEL?
Predators mean different things to different people. For some, they are key to the ecological integrity of our countryside. For others, they are an inconvenience and a financial drain on rural businesses. Peter Cairns reports on how a new media initiative is exploring these issues.

RIGHT TO BUY SUSPENDED IN 69 D&G VILLAGES
Scottish Ministers have accepted the case put by Dumfries and Galloway Council for 69 rural villages in its area to be designated as 'pressured' for the purposes of the Right to Buy.
