Today's Berwickshire carries the 'shock announcement' that the MSP for East Lothian, aka the Laird, is standing down at the next election. He feels apparently that it is the time for a change . He is taking up a 'fresh opportunity' but no mention of any elevation to the House of Lords. If you are interested to learn nothing more log on to the Berwickshire or pop out and buy it at the bargain price of 58p.
