More New Links

I've added a few new links. On the SNP front, my good pals Chris Stephens and Anne McLaughlin have recently joined the small corner of the blogosphere that is forever Scotland, as have Lachie MacNeill and an unknown (to me at least) member of the party’s student wing, who goes under the moniker of ‘Waxing the Lyrical’.

A blog which I’ve dipped in and out of for a while is that written by Doctorvee, who is also a leading light in the Scottish Blogging Roundup. Elsewhere, Bill Cameron writes a good blog covering a wide range of subjects. Living between Scotland and Spain, he also intersperses his conservative-leaning political observations with some impressive photos from his travels.

Finally, on a more general note, two new Scottish election blogs have started, written by the respective political editors of BBC Scotland and Scottish Television, Brian Taylor and Bernard Ponsonby. While it will be interesting to read their thoughts as the campaign develops, I hope that they choose to run them as blogs rather than as diaries. As any party activist will tell you, the best people to drink with at any political conference are the journos. A wee bit of banter and indiscretion now and again helps keep the wheels moving!
