Interests of older voters won’t be disturbed to provide a better future

On Saturday, the last day but one of a holiday by boat and train from the Swiss Alps to the Moray Firth, and on to the Highlands, I sat chatting to an old friend.

It was on a bench looking out from the scenic village of Findhorn into the estuary of the river of the same name. It’s virtually an inland lake, and beyond a narrow headland is the Firth itself. Bounded by the North Sea to the east and the waters of the Firth to the north, the attraction of this great promontory of eastern Scotland is its bleakness.
