Plans for referendum are a 'wheeze'
The Scottish secretary, Alister Jack, has described Scottish Government plans for another independence referendum as a "wheeze".
Mr Jack told the BBC the UK Government did not know of a way indyref2 could happen without Westminster agreement through what is known as a section 30 order.
He said he was waiting to see what First Minister Nicola Sturgeon proposes next week.
Ms Sturgeon will set out a "route map" to another referendum on Tuesday.
This is expected to include details of how she will seek to hold a referendum in October of next year - even if the UK Government does not grant formal consent.
She has said she is determined to deliver her election promise to hold another vote on independence, and has accused UK ministers of trying to deny democracy.
Moray West turbines order
An order has been placed for 60 turbines for a new offshore wind farm in the Moray Firth.
The blades, each of them 354ft long, will be made at renewable energy firm Siemens Gamesa's manufacturing plant in Hull.
The turbines will later be pre-assembled at Nigg on the Cromarty Firth before being installed at the Moray West site.
The BBC says the wind farm is about 14 miles off the Moray coast. First power is due in 2024.
The project is being developed by Ocean Winds, a joint venture between EDP Renewables and Engie.

Nike to exit Russia
Nike has announced plans to leave Russia, becoming the latest Western brand to quit the country since the invasion of Ukraine in February.
The US sportswear giant halted online orders and closed the stores it owned in the country in March.
Shops run by local partners continued to operate, but the firm is winding down those agreements.
The BBC says networking giant Cisco also stated it would start to fully shut down operations in Russia and Belarus.
Other companies that have finalised plans to leave in recent weeks include McDonald's and Starbucks.
New board member at Hurricane
Robin Allan, the former UK North Sea boss at Premier Oil, has joined the board of west of Shetland operator Hurricane Energy.
He stood down from board of Premier, which was later merged with Chrysaor to form Harbour Energy, in 2020 after more than 16 years.
However, Mr Allan remained in a consultant role to help the firm meet its carbon-neutral ambitions.
Energy Voice says he has now joined Hurricane Energy as a non-executive director and will chair the firm's environmental, social and governance committee.
Mr Allan also remains chairman of the Association of British Independent Exploration Companies.
Hopes for big expansion in Scottish TV and film industry

At the FirstStage Studios in Leith docks the vast main space is now empty but until a week ago it was humming with activity as Anansi Boys, one of two major shows being made for Amazon Prime, was about to wrap.
Douglas Mackinnon, who hails from Skye, is a director and showrunner for Anansi Boys and Good Omens, both of which were made in Scotland.
He told the BBC: "We were ready to do the second season of Good Omens, and a first season of Anansi Boys, both based on books by Neil Gaiman, and then the pandemic happened.
"Everything shut down and then at the tail end of 2020, Amazon said we'd like you to do both.
"I told them the only way was if they were done alongside each other and suggested we do that in Scotland.
"There were lots of discussions, and of course it all came down to money and practicalities, but the bottom line was we could make it in Scotland - and at the top level."
