THERE was a teacher in my primary who insisted everyone “had to be friends” with one another – whether we got on, fought, or really had…

Short-term let operators campaign against introduction of short-term let licensing outside the Scottish Parliament

There were a little more than 30 of us in the whole school. Kids were scattered in dribs and drabs throughout all seven years. It’s a credit to my teachers. Some have stayed in the ­community. Others have moved on. They’re nurses and doctors and physiotherapists, ecologists and artists, musicians and civil servants and historians.

I sometimes wonder if being brought up in this kind of community made me a bit more conscious about how conflict-averse so much of Scottish culture is. We tell ­ourselves we’re a rare people for flyting and slagging. I can put the boot in. In, the boot ­often deserves to be put. But if a problem can be reckoned with, and analysed, and ­addressed through open dialogue – that’s my first preference every time.“to take sides in Scotland as well as ­taking Scotland’s side”.

The issue only gained serious political traction long after MSPs actually passed the underlying legislation., claiming they’re being “pogromed”, and otherwise howling into the void – they’re powering up crowdfunders, mobilising the media and seeking any legal ­mechanism they can find to block the measures aimed at bringing short-term lets in urban Scotland back under some kind of regulatory control.
