Tweedsmuir

Meanwhile, in the Scottish Borders firefighters worked overnight on a 600m by 50m section of gorse near the the A70 Tweedsmuir.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the first call they received was about a car on fire on Penneld Road at 04:22 with the last report being about a vehicle on fire in Tweedsmuir Road at about 05:05.

The jury was told that both her and her husband had been detained by murder inquiry officers while they were staying in Tweedsmuir in the Borders.

The Shag and Tweedsmuir fires burning just eastward may have been the closest, but I’d seen a dozen others from a float plane over the Coast Range the day before.

But being on the periphery of my party has given me a renewed appreciation for what Lord Tweedsmuir said.
