AN INVERNESS-based shoe retailer is embracing the digital age by investing in the kind of database technology that underpins cryptocurrency. Family-owned Begg Shoes can trace its roots back more than 150 years and has nine stores, mostly located around the north of Scotland. It has a long retailing tradition but is preparing for the years to come by investing in blockchain technology as it seeks to strengthen its already-strong online offer. The company, which fulfils web sales from the company’s stores as opposed to a warehouse, has been working alongside data scientists at The Data Lab on the project. Donald Begg, the company’s managing director, said that in broad terms the blockchain system it is developing will improve its ability to record and interconnect data within the business.

Draw in Highlands for Dee April 20, 2021 / Football
Dundee had to endure another frustrating draw away to one of their rivals for a play-off spot tonight, as they drew 1-1 in the Highlands against Inverness Caley Thistle. Despite a second half of almost total dominance the Dark Blues couldn’t finish off their hosts, who were reduced to nine men after Scott Allardice and Brad McKay were both red carded. With the Dee focused completely on scoring themselves they were caught out by a late sucker punch when Daniel Mackay broke away to score. However, Lee Ashcroft made amends immediately to score the equaliser that was the very least that Dundee deserved.

We’ll be going to the polls again in a few weeks time to elect a new Scottish Parliament and I suppose it will be the usual dilemma: whether to vote the same as ever, or whether to take the plunge and change allegiance.
