Dear Voornaam, 

 

Our Deputy Political Editor David Bol today exclusively reports the SNP may be set to roll back further on its presumption against new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. It's a huge issue as the industry waits to see exactly what the new UK Labour government does around licensing. Read his story here

 

We lead the print edition today on headteachers being given the green light from the Scottish Government to ban mobile phones in schools, while we also report on the transformational impact the move has made in one Scottish school.  'The school became noisier, and children spoke to each other'

 

Roger Cox meanwhile reports on Lost Shore - the surf resort opening in a former quarry at Ratho, just outside Edinburgh. With a price tag of £55 million, it will be the most expensive sports infrastructure project to be completed in the country for more than a decade

 

Lots happening festival-wise. The Scotsman's next Fringe First winners have just been announced

Our Arts Correspondent Brian Ferguson was at the opening of the Edinburgh International Film Festival last night where he caught up with Saoirse Ronan on the red carpet

Have a great day
