Emma Cowing

This will be my final column in the Scottish Daily Mail. It feels strange even to type these words, perhaps because I've loved it so much.

Just before the end of May, Rod Stewart and his extensive clan descended upon the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia to celebrate his son Liam's wedding to Nicole Artukovich.

It started about two weeks into lockdown. My beautiful cat Selkie, always so loving and affectionate, started hiding away.

At first glance, it seems like a typical wedding photo: the bride pretty in white, the groom in a smart suit and a celebrant in red reading their vows.

Just before 8pm on Hogmanay last year, Georgia Toffolo pulled up outside the BrewDog headquarters in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, for a New Year's party.

The other day I was faffing about with my Netflix channel, pressed the wrong button and landed on a television station. I know. Radical.

EMMA COWING: Swinney, the janitor stuck cleaning up the mess he helped create

First Nicola Sturgeon . Now Humza Yousaf. At what point are the SNP going to wake up and smell the virtue signalling?

EMMA COWING: First Nicola Sturgeon . Now Humza Yousaf. It is clear to me that there is one core issue that has brought down both First Ministers: the failure to protect women and girls.

EMMA COWING: Whisper it, but I REALLY don't want Humza to quit - and no I haven't taken leave of my senses!
