State of the Cyber Nation Annual Debate
The Scotsman is delighted to be the first official media partner to Cyber Scotland Week and as part of this exciting new relationship, we are hosting the inaugural “State of the Cyber Nation” Debate. We have brought together some of the leading authorities from across industry, government and academia to share their perspectives on Scotland’s cyber resilience journey over the past five years, as well as identifying their key priorities for the future. More importantly, they’re here to answer your questions on issues ranging from emerging threats and how to improve collaboration between academia and industry, through to the potential impact of cyber-attacks on public bodies, infrastructure and business and what steps you can take to make sure your organisation is prepared.
A Scottish dairy has rewarded a farmer with a goodie bag after he spent two hours to help a delivery truck stuck in the snow.
Graham’s Dairy has thanked the local farmer, George Whyte, from Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshir, for his ‘incredible act of kindness’ after he rushed to the rescue to help a milk lorry. The lorry was stuck in the snow during Storm Darcy, and Police Scotland had already arrived at the scene to help.
Mr Whyte said: "The snow was so thick and the conditions gradually worsening, but, thankfully with the help of my plough, it only took a few minutes to get the Graham’s driver and his truck to safety.dr Robert Graham Snr, chairman of the dairy, added: “When we saw the Tweet from Police Scotland Roads NE thanking local farmers for their invaluable assistance in these snowy conditions, we put out our own search to find this champion Aberdeenshire farmer. We are incredibly grateful to George.”
The Duke of Edinburgh remained in hospital for his sixth night in a row and his grandson Prince William said doctors are “keeping an eye” on him.
The Duke of Cambridge said Prince Philip, 99, “is okay” at the King Edward VII hospital where he has been treated since last Tuesday and remains for “rest as recuperation”, according to The Mirror.
Prince William met staff and volunteers at the Kings Lynn Corn Exchange Vaccination Centre in Norfolk yesterday.
He has been staying at his Anmer Hall home with wife Kate and their three children since before Christmas.
It is understood that Prince Charles wanted to visit his father due to Philip’s extended stay. The prince arrived in a grey Tesla car at around 3.20pm on Saturday and got out of the vehicle wearing a face mask, before leaving the hospital around 30 minutes later. A Clarence House spokesman confirmed he returned to Highgrove following his visit.
It is thought Charles had not seen his father since before Christmas because of the nationwide coronavirus restrictions. The visit came the day after Charles’s son and daughter-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were stripped of their patronages, as the couple confirmed “Megxit” was permanent.
Prince Philip, who will turn 100 on June 10, is in hospital for an undisclosed reason, although it is not coronavirus-related.
Visitors are only being considered in exceptional circumstances. Philip is known for his “no fuss” attitude. Royal author Penny Junor said: “We do all know he doesn’t like fuss, and he would regard a visit as fuss.”
