Yesterday three fire crew were battling a 150-metre wall of flame on the Isle of Skye as wildfires threatened huge swathes of the north’s landscape.

Large parts of the Scotland are currently covered by a severe wildfire warning and there have already been a large number of serious incidents.

Crews from Dunvegan, Portree and Kyle of Lochalsh were sent to the Glendale area of Skye shortly after midday.

The law only allows burning to be carried out between October and mid-April. Most burning occurs in the spring when the plant material has dried out, allowing it to burn, while cold, damp conditions underfoot mean the fire is most easily controlled. Burns are not performed in summer because birds and other animals are breeding, the daily temperatures are warm, and underlying peat may have become drier. This fire in Glendale is on the other side of those hills. Smoke is drifting upwards and to the north. There were no casualties and it is now under control.

Defiance!

Visitors - "Moth" (1979)

One of my favorite years for music. This is a band from Edinburgh, Scotland.

They only released three 7" EPs, but they were all great. John Peel was a fan. He apparently bankrolled the release of their second single. The band lasted only a year or two. I found this by way of a compilation released in 2016.

It's a really fun and unique mix of post-punk and synth-punk. I see the entire EP on on YT

What an exhausting day. Trying to get to the bottom of what website testing my government actually does that involves actual disabled users. Completely cursing the Oracle system that a lot of Scottish organisations seem to use for their jobs portals. Ones that have "...oraclecloud.com//hcmui/candidateexperience" in the URL. Horrible usability and bugs.
