It's raining!

Peter Grant's sour comments were obviously the last thing on happy man Jim Leishman's mind as he was elected Provost of Fife today. Quite right too. Leishman is well known over the water not only for managing the Pars but also for his charity work in the years since his wife died. He will be a popular Provost. In Highland Council it's the independents who sound like they've been chewing lemons after being ousted from power by an all-party coalition. Never mind guys - it probably won't last. Meanwhile, in the Capital, the new council not only have the trams fiasco to contend with but also a storm of protest over the new cameras policing the bus lanes. It truly never rains but it pours this side of the water!
