THE National Roadshow is hitting the road again and this time we're heading for Dunfermline in Fife on June 15.
During the day our editor Callum Baird and his team will be outside the Kingsgate Shopping Centre in the town and in the evening we will join the Wee Ginger Dug, aka Paul Kavanagh, and his wee dug, at The Elgin Hotel, Charlestown, at 7.30pm.
The evening event is being hosted by Dunfermline West Fife and Coastal Villages SNP. You can get your free tickets here!
Come along and join us during the day and at night. We will be running a Dunfermline special edition the next day so if you have a story or there is a local issue you feel we need highlight email us at roadshow@thenational.scot.
On June 29, our roadshow team is heading for Thurso in Caithness, the following day we will be on Orkney, then Skye on July 7, Aberdeen on July 26, and Forfar on September 5.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
