There’s also a closer look at a bold project to re-tree the Scottish uplands and recreate the wildlife-rich habitat of the ancient Caledonian Forest.

This Country, BBC1, 11.45pm
THE second series of the mockumentary launched on iPlayer last week, but now it’s getting an airing on terrestrial TV. You can’t blame the BBC for wanting to make the most of it – written by sister-and-brother team Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, it’s one of their best-reviewed sitcoms in years, and the first run was a huge hit online.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
