Good morning Voornaam

We're mid week, and although the winter mornings have properly hit, there's something very beautiful about the late sunrises and blustery weather. Stay cosy, grab a coffee and make sure you have breakfast.

First up today, a fascinating read from our Head of Business on standing on Scotland's last nuclear reactor and meeting the people keeping our lights on.

Trivia time folks - as always!

Yesterday we asked: "First Footing is a Scottish New Year tradition - but what is it?"

First footing refers to the first person to step over the threshold of your home after midnight - so the first person in the New Year after Hogmanay. They will bring protection and good luck.

Today's question - not Scotland specific but getting us into the Christmas spirit none the less...

Which song (by which band) set the record for the longest journey to Christmas Number One?

Whatever your plans today, have a good one.
