I have four sons, one daughter, and two grandchildren. I am an avid Don's fan and make an effort to attend as many games as possible. My only personal hate is onions and garlic, and I feel they should be banned from all cooking.

SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR CALEDONIAN SLEEPER

Brian Adam, MSP for Aberdeen Donside, has welcomed the announcement from the Scottish Government that they are going to invest at least £50 million in the Caledonian Sleeper service.

 

Mr Adam said:

 

“The Caledonian Sleeper is an invaluable part of our rail network allowing business and leisure travellers to go to bed in Aberdeen and wake up in London.

 

“The Scottish Government has exceeded the funding put up by the UK Government to provide a better service for customers.

 

Mr Adam continued:

 

“Travellers in Aberdeen will be delighted that the Caley Sleeper is being improved and hopefully it will attract more people up to Aberdeen for business or a weekend trip.”
