Actor Kevin McKidd has added his voice to the appeal to keep the Moray RAF base open.
Trainspotting star Kevin McKidd has appealed to David Cameron not to close the threatened base at RAF Lossiemouth. The Elgin-born actor said closing the base would be "a disaster" and outlined his fears about "the massive economic and social damage a double RAF base closure will mean to Moray and the north of Scotland". In his appeal to save RAF Lossiemouth, Mr McKidd said: "Growing up near Lossiemouth I understand how important the base and the personnel are to the area. "If RAF Lossiemouth is shut or the air force moved away it will be a disaster to my home area. "I am really worried and I hope the Prime Minister understands the massive economic and social damage a double RAF base closure will mean to Moray and the north of Scotland. "Closing nearby RAF Kinloss has been bad enough, but the impact of a double RAF base cut is unimaginable. "I know everyone in my home area is waiting on tenterhooks for what is a massive decision with a very real impact on the future welfare of the area as a whole." Secretary of State for Defence Dr Liam Fox is expected to announce his decision some time next week Read the full article here [link] STV Rome The grandness and epic scope of HBO's Rome ultimately became its undoing. It was a ratings hit for the premium cable channel but it was also a co-production with the BBC and when the two year production contract was up, so was the BBC's end of the money chain – leaving HBO with the lot of the notoriously expensive and expansive bill. Knowing that they were only get to tell their tale in two seasons, the writers and producers had the show jump ahead many years in Season 2, soaring over the rest of the story they wanted to initially tell and leaping ahead to the end of the saga. So what was really missing from this series might not have actually been an extra season, but all the potential seasons they skipped over. Journeyman This cool time travel series followed Dan Vasser (Rome's Kevin McKidd – making his second appearance on this list), a reporter who mysteriously found himself jumping through time, encountering people whose lives he is meant to change. Dan's discovery that his presumed dead girlfriend, Livia (Moon Bloodgood), was also a time traveler added a very interesting element to the story. Journeyman completed its initial thirteen-episode order but when the writers' strike hit, NBC declined to extend the show and that was that. Only a modicum of closure was given in that thirteenth episode, with plenty of unanswered questions about what was happening to Dan that unfortunately were never answered. But wouldn't it have been great if they had? see the rest of the list here [link] IGN

Now (Colin) Kennedy, who started out making tea on the sets of his father’s corporate promos, is ready with his feature debut, to be shot this summer. Set up as a low budget (sub-$1.6m) UK independent and written by Andrea Gibb, Atlantic Bridge is a Big Chill-style romantic drama with Kevin McKidd and Ewen Bremner attached to star. It is close — so close — to being fully financed at time of going to press. “It is an ensemble piece,” says Kennedy. “which is a challenge. And the finance has been a challenge, so it’s great to have the support of Sigma behind this one as well.” screen Daily via Sweet on Sigma Scottish Field July Magazine....you can still order the magazine
The Kevin McKidd article is 6 pages long ~ to order copies email cbuchanan@wyvexmedia.co.uk she will help you get the copies that you want. thanks to Betinad for the scanned images Thank you to Betinad for sharing her trip to Scotland with us.... Part I: My Scottish adventure started when on New Year’s one of my best friends – Alejandra – called me and instead of saying “Happy New Year” to me , she greeted me with a “What about spending your birthday in Scotland?”. Obviously, as I am a very good friend, I couldn’t say no :-). So, our trip started June 9th when we meet at London Heathrow airport. Our first step: Glasgow – the largest city in Scotland. I have to admit that for me, Glasgow was just a place to sleep and from where to start our tour over the Inner Hebrides Islands. What a surprise! The city is blooming, full of amazingly friendly people… what a way to start. Tons of new projects for the Commonwealth Games 2014 are in place, and the city is proud to show its best. From Glasgow, we initiate our trip to Iona. First, we took the West Highland Line train to Oban - a small town (with a population of about 8.000 people) that serves as the entry point to the West Islands. If you have a chance, please do it! The scenery is absolutely fantastic. On my birthday (yay!) I woke up in Oban, to an awful storm. Not the way I had envisioned the day … especially when you have to get a ferry… luckily when we got to the Ferry Terminal, we were notified that the sun was shining bright and high in Iona.. a girl cannot ask for more as birthday gift! The way to Iona involves a ferry trip to Craignure (on Mull Island), a bus trip from Craignure to Fionnphort and another ferry to Iona. Every step of the way is worth the time. Iona… what to say about it? As a Kevin’s fan, I knew Iona was a special place. I couldn’t imagine Kevin naming his daughter after it if the place was anything other than spectacular. But even before learning about Kevin’s own impressions on the island it was high on my list of places to go, after I read that Iona is considered a “Thin Place”. In the Celtic tradition such places that give us an opening into the magnificence and wonder of the Presence are called “Thin Places.” A thin place is where the veil that separates heaven and earth is lifted and one is able to receive a glimpse of the glory of God. I can’t testify if that is true, but certainly you feel that heaven must feel and look like it. Then, back to reality and our trip continued to Inverness and the Highlands. I am writing right here right now, Inverness requires much more time that we allotted for it. Inverness and the Highlands deserve a full time trip… so adding it to my list. I will be back, and soon, for sure. (note: most people – even locals – looked at me as if I lost my mind when I voiced that I would love to see the city during Winter time, but yes, I imagine the place being astonishingly beautiful with some snow J ). We rented a car in there (ok, driving on the other side of the road is in itself an adventure) and enjoyed the sights of Loch Ness, Alves, Culloden, Elgin and Lossiemouth. Most of the areas and sites we visited were unplanned; just letting the road take us. At Lossiemouth, we were treated to a full hour of RAF exercises, so we even have our own air show! Reluctantly, we have to say goodbye to the Scottish Highlands and grab the train to Edinburgh. But that piece of the trip will be reported in a future note. |
