I once helped the Duke of Edinburgh hand out his awards in a ceremony at Holyrood Palace. He asked me what I did and I told him I was a television journalist. ‘Is that a job?’, he asked. Fair point.

- It was an honour to write Andrew Fairlie’s obituary for @TheScotsman today. I hope I did him justice. scotsman.com/news/obituarie…
- The saddest day. Had to say goodbye to my wee pal Billy who has been a sweet, funny and faithful companion for the last dozen years. I was so lucky to have him in my life.
- Proud and delighted to be presenter of the flagship Debate Night series on the new BBC Scotland channel.
- End of an era. If you work in radio you know that Steve Wright is the absolute master of the craft 👏👏👏
- My best friend Rae Stewart has died after an illness. He was just 56. Rae was a proud son of Tain and a brilliant journalist, author, husband, father and friend. All my thoughts today are with him and his beloved family.
- I’d like to say a special thank you to this man for speaking out during @bbcdebatenight. It takes courage and it is also what helps others. #bbcdn
- Rae Stewart - A life well lived but too short.
- Edinburgh’s reintroduction of the Nor Loch is coming along nicely
- From the start, we’ve made @bbcdebatenight a place where the panel and the audience treat each other with respect. However social media is different and this week one audience member has endured awful abuse just for speaking up. If you can’t respect other views, don’t watch.
- Many years ago I appeared in Taggart reading the news. Today a royalties check arrived after a screening in a far flung country. But should I spend it all at once ?
- What a classy way to go. A true radio legend has left the building. Best in the business. Bravo Steve Wright 👏👏👏
