A guide dog’s journey starts long before the harness goes on. This is a look at the people, care, and training that help turn a puppy into a trusted partner. #GuideDogs #GuideDogJourney #WorkingDogs #AssistanceDogs #Blindness

On my first solo train journey with my new guide dog today. always a nerve racking experience for the first time. Must say the staff @Scotrail were excellent friendly and very helpful. In the Station and on the trains.

Excellent report by @IHamiltonbbc on BBC Scotland Drivetime on the 'not fit for purpose' UK Access to Work scheme.
It isn't working for people with health and disability barriers to getting a job and it isn't working for small employers.
Get it right and we all win 👇

My Kind of Town has wrapped in St. Andrew's! What a week. We've filmed with charities, learned about the history of the town and university. I also tried some #golf. While we've not been filming, I've tried to brush up on some darts and pool #standrews #history #flying #scotland

For our latest filming, I spoke to a man was a pilot at RAF Leuchars. I got an aircraft tour of the St. Andrew's area, but when our cameraman came to do extra shots, for some reason he wanted a professional pilot and not me #Scotland #mykindoftownscotland #aircraft #flying

I have a connection to #StAndrews. Danny Rooney met one of my own previous #guidedogs! He met Renton, a German Shepherd I had, and was inspired to become a puppy raiser. Great to meet him and Sultan and I hope he goes on to become a great working dog for someone #dog #scotland
