© DC Thomson A German woman opening a new Broughty Ferry shop this weekend is imposing a ‘Scotland only’ stock policy. The guiding principal behind Coorie is that if it’s not Scottish and made by a small producer then it’s not coming in. Owner Daniela Mather has taken inspiration from the farmers’ markets she has attended with her homemade chutneys for the last two years.

MORAG LINDSAY: Roll up your sleeves and at least give the rest of us something other than Covid-19 to think about There’s a phrase I couldn’t have pictured myself saying this time last year. Ah innocent days. Laptop balanced on my knee, head spinning, no idea what 90% of my colleague’s phone numbers were, never mind how to share my screen in a Microsoft Teams video conference call, or any of those other nifty technical skills that now occupy the brain space we used to waste on human conta...

In fact, it is where David and Andrew Smith spent their childhood. The brothers run J. Henderson...

WALK THIS WAY: A wander in the Angus glens by Alan Rowan Corwharn, Glen Prosen, Angus THERE’S always a child-like sense of excitement when you follow a path without being exactly sure where it will take you. The path signed by the old, weathered wooden post with the faded lettering across from Glen Prosen Church isn’t marked on some maps, but it promised a passage to Cormuir from where I could do a short hill circuit on the western side of the glen. © Supplied by Alan Rowan The path ...

Every Dundee victory is a show of strength says defender Liam Fontaine as he targets promotion No 5 © SNS Group Dundee defender Liam Fontaine is a man who knows what it takes to win promotion. He’s done it twice from the Scottish Championship and been part of promoted Bristol City and Yeovil Town sides down south. Pretty or not, it’s all about getting three points on the board any way you can at this stage of the season. After three straight league successes, every victory is “a show of ...

by Readers Letters © AJL I loved the photo in the Evening Express on Tuesday showing the beach shelter, it brought back happy memories and sadness. As usual our council is not behind the curve, it’s not on it. Look at the people reading, chatting and looking outwards. Did they or are they building a new one? If they are it’s news to me. Look at what one could see from this spot – dolphins, windmills, supply boats, Navy ships and offshore training boats. We always hear that Aberdeen...
