Ginger got a treat in Dingwall from the local Yes group
NATIONAL readers in Ross and Sutherland baked up a real treat for a visit of the Wee Ginger Dug and Paul Kavanagh.
Our far-travelling columnist was in Dingwall last night for a talk, and was delighted to be welcomed by National-themed cupcakes!
Paul managed to send us through a couple of snaps, despite the ropy wi-fi, before talking to a room of dedicated pro-indy supporters about where the Yes movement goes next. The fabulous cakes, we’re told, were baked by Lorraine Carson, who is the co-convenor of Yes Ross and Sutherland, and has a wee business selling and making cakes in Alness called Cake Rocks.
We’ll definitely pop in next time we’re in town!
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!
