It seems like barely a week goes by without Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling making headlines for some hostile comments aimed at transgender people. And now, a new show coming to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next month is sure to set tongues wagging. The Telegraph has already called it “the most provocative play to hit the Edinburgh Fringe in years.” ‘TERF’, a new one-act play which is set to premiere on 2 August, has become one of the most talked-about plays heading to the festival this year. It’s being put on, rather aptly, by the Civil Disobedience & Theatre of the Existential Void, with t...

The SNP, which won all but three of 59 constituencies north of the border in 2015, has dropped from 47 to just nine seats, although a recount was underway in the Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire constituency with the result not expected until Saturday (6 July). Meanwhile, Labour’s nationwide ...

It will soon be easier to see Facebook and Instagram posts in 200 lesser-spoken languages around the world. Meta’s No Language Left Behind (NLLB) project announced in a paper published this month that they’ve scaled their original technology. The project includes a dozen “low resource” European languages, like Scottish Gaelic, Galician, Irish, Lingurian, Bosnian, Icelandic and Welsh. According to Meta, that’s a language that has less than one million sentences in data that can be used. Experts say that to improve the service, Meta should consult with native speakers and language specialists as...

Scottish wildcat kittens have been born in the Cairngorms National Park to captive-bred animals released last year. Last summer 19 wildcats were released by the Saving Wildcats partnership, led by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. These incredibly elusive carnivores are the only native member of the cat family still found in the wild in Britain. Since their release, the cats have been tracked using GPS radio collars. At least two females have given birth since then, marking a significant milestone in the project’s efforts to restore the species in Scotland. They may be the first wildca...

By Sean Walsh Scotland captain Andy Robertson apologised to the nation after being knocked out of Euro 2024 on Sunday night. The Tartan Army went into their final group stage clash against Hungary with both sides realistically needing a win in order to advance to the last 16. A draw may have been enough for Scotland to secure qualification, but given this would have left them with only two points from three games, this was widely seen as an unlikely enough tally to send them through. Scotland's performance in Stuttgart was largely flat and they didn't get out of first gear until ten minutes of...

The Scots looked set to end the game on a 0-0 draw, keeping their European dreams alive but slim, until a 100th...
