A ray of sunshine

Another dull rainy day in Scotland's capital but this time there was a ray of sunshine as Andy Murray took gold in the Olympics. Well done Andy! Calton was settling in for a five set match but Murray won it in straight sets, clinching the match with an ace. Superb. He and his fellow Scots have made a huge contribution to Team GB's medal haul however Calton does not think this is an argument for an independent Scotland - more a reason for us to continue to be part of Great Britain. Would our athletes do so well if we didn't have the resources of our larger southern neighbour to help them? In return, they put the great into Team GB. That's what teamwork is all about. At a time when Europe is tearing itself apart along a north-south divide Great Britain is winning medals. United we stand, divided we fall.
