In Focus
The town of Rutherglen
can be found some three miles south-east of the centre of Glasgow and for
practical, if not administrative, purposes can be regarded as a suburb of
the city. Rutherglen is built on a ridge of raised ground a little to the

the river, and the point at which the Clyde became tidal. Rutherglen has
very early origins and was for a while more important than Glasgow. ( More

On This Day
9 March 1566: Mary Queen of Scots' private secretary, David Rizzio, is murdered in front of her at the Palace of Holyroodhouse by a group including her husband Lord Darnley. The attempted coup that follows fails when Darnley has second thoughts and helps Mary to escape to Dunbar.
9 March 1776: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations is published, becoming the best known work of economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith.

Featured Book
A Tangled Web by Ken Lussey (15 November 2023).
A fast-paced thriller set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson returns to Sutherland to help local GP Jenny Mackay investigate the death
of her husband. The authorities say it was suicide but she’s convinced he was murdered. It soon becomes clear that Iain Mackay lied to
everyone who thought he loved them: especially his wife and his daughters. But that becomes the least of their problems when they come up
against people who have already killed and would have no qualms about killing again.
