Small Scottish distillery wins international recognition
The distillery in the Scottish Lowlands has won international recognition by taking home a gold medal at the 2025 International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) for its Moffat Moonshine, which it says is a 'wood-fired, unaged spirit made entirely in Dumfries & Galloway'.
Moffat Distillery said it scored 96 points and 'the spirit stood out to judges for its depth, clarity and character - a remarkable result for a first release from a new distillery'.
'This is a huge moment for our small team,' said Nick Bullard, founder of Moffat Distillery. 'Moffat Moonshine is where our journey begins — raw, honest and full of character. We're proud it's been recognised on a global stage and we hope it puts our small but perfectly-formed corner of Scotland on the spirits map.'

Huge blow to holidaymakers as major restrictions could hit popular Scots tourist spot
They already have the measure in one area LETS IT GO Huge blow to holidaymakers as major restrictions could hit popular Scots tourist spot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLIDAYMAKERS could be hit by new restrictions targeting a popular tourist spot. Councillors could introduce plans to bring in new curbs AirBnb-style lets across the entire Scottish Highlands. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Councillors have called for a short term let control zone across the Highlands Credit: Alamy 3 They want extra regulations on AirBnb style rentals Credit: Alamy Highland councillors have proposed the short-term let control zone over a shortage of homes for locals. It comes as 7,011 short-term rentals were given the green light across the Highlands, with only four being refused. A control zone would require people wanting to run an AirBnb-style let to have a licence or planning permission. The plan could impact the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit the Highlands every year. Edinburgh's entire council area became Scotland's first control zone in 2022 to combat the flood of holiday rentals pricing out locals amid a nationwide housing crisis. The Highlands has had a control zone in Badenoch and Strathspey since March 2024. Highlands council recently heard how 24,000 homes will be needed over the next decade. Inverness councillors Michael Gregson and Duncan Macpherson are suggesting the council-wide control zone to protect locals. They said: "The private long-term rental market has shrunk disastrously: estate agents are withdrawing from letting out properties because of the shortage of properties available. We rented our home to family on Airbnb…but 500 feral teens TRASHED it after party "Even taking into account the efforts of Highland Council and the housing associations, there is a shortage of affordable housing." The councillors called on SNP ministers to change existing laws and introduce an "overprovision policy" to prevent AirBnbs taking over communities. But they said if that fails then the Highland-wide control zone should be brought in. Council officials responded saying both plans could end up causing more financial and legal work for staff. They also added a council-wide zone would need to be researched. They added it could also lead to extra workload and costs for the planning department.

Major update after Scots uni announce 75 job cuts
A union revealed fears on what impact the cuts would have Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS uni staff are set to walk out on strike over a plan to axe dozens of jobs. Union bosses are balloting lecturers at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) on whether to take action on the potential redundancies. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The University of the West of Scotland is set to axe 75 jobs Credit: Alamy The Educational Institute of Scotland's (EIS) University Lecturers' Association (ULA) branch said on Monday it had launched the ballot, which closes on July 22 at 12pm. Lecturers could strike in response to the uni's Organisational Change Project, which aims to cut around 75 full-time equivalent roles. The union says discussions with university bosses have been largely unproductive, and that the employer has shown a lack of transparency throughout the process. The EIS said the university has refused to rule out compulsory redundancies, posing a threat to the job security of its members and the quality of education, and added that it will have an overall detrimental effect on the UWS. Garry Ross, EIS national officer for higher education, condemned the university's approach. He said: "It is deeply regrettable that the University of the West of Scotland has chosen to make this large number of job cuts and pushed staff to the point of balloting for strike action. "The proposed redundancies are a short-sighted and a damaging strategy that will have a devastating impact on the livelihoods of dedicated staff, many of whom have worked at UWS for years. "Furthermore, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the academic provision, research capacity, and overall student experience at the university. "We urge UWS to step back from this path and engage meaningfully with the EIS ULA to secure a no compulsory redundancy guarantee." A UWS spokesperson said: "We have sought to engage with our recognised trade union representatives ahead of and throughout this process, including the invitation to participate fully. "Having been disappointed previously when the recognised trade unions withdrew their engagement, we provided an open invitation to return and contribute to shaping the future of UWS. Car sinks into loch at popular Scots country park as man charged "We are pleased that this week they returned to the table to join the university in identifying approaches to avoiding compulsory redundancy, with a number of proposals having already been tabled. "Our approach has been transparent from the outset and we have actively sought to co-create, with colleagues and trade union partners, a business case to address ongoing student population pressures, the challenging external funding environment and the resultant financial consequences being felt across the entire sector." The spokesperson added: "The aim throughout this university-wide process is to put UWS on a more sustainable financial footing to enable an even better student experience and enhanced graduate outcomes. "In common with the rest of the higher education sector across the UK, the university is operating in a very challenging financial environment exacerbated by external factors that have driven a significant change in the size and shape of our student population, and the associated funding."

Major railway station used by 100,000 each year set to close for 10 months for upgrade works
The works form part of a £800 million investment in new trains across the country OFF THE RAILS Major railway station used by 100,000 each year set to close for 10 months for upgrade works A MAJOR railways station used by 100,000 passengers each year is set to close for 10 months for improvement works. No trains will run from Ty Glas station in Cardiff until spring 2026, Transport for Wales said. 1 Ty Glas railway station is shut for major upgrades Credit: Improvements will include five new, quieter Class 756 tri-mode trains rolled out on the Croyton and Caerphilly to Penarth lines and a new level crossing at the station. During the works, passengers will be directed to nearby Birchgrove station where they can seek alternative routes. While those needing to cross the railway will be diverted towards the Caerphilly Road bridge. The improvement works form part of the Welsh government's £800 million investment in new trains across the country. Dan Tipper, chief infrastructure officer at Transport for Wales, said: "The temporary closure of Ty Glas station and its level crossing is a necessary step in our commitment to ensuring the safety of our passengers as we prepare to introduce brand-new tri-mode trains onto the Coryton line. Further details, including diversion routes, are available on the authority's website. This comes as it was announced that no trains will run through or stop at Huddersfield station in West Yorkshire between August 30 and September 29. The works are set to spark travel chaos for the roughly 300,000 travellers who use the station each month. After the closure, just three of the six current platforms will reopen on a temporary basis. New £18m Scots train station near Glasgow set to open next year This is to allow for work on the multibillion-pound Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) to continue. Gareth Hope, TRU sponsor, said the scheme would be "key to improving the journeys of millions of people across the north." Network Rail says the closure will allow developers to remodel the track and platforms. This change will "transform the layout of the station and enable more trains with more seats to run through the area on a greener, more reliable railway". The works will also enable future upgrades at the busy station to take place, including the restoration of its Grade II listed tea rooms. A new footbridge is also planned to be installed at West Yorkshire's second busiest station in the future, as part of its £70 million internal modernisation project. Huddersfield station has already completed some of its restorative work, which began in November 2023, with the terminus' canopy roof having its refurbishment finished up in April. The station's modernisation programme is due to be complete by 2027.
