Caledonian Separatist?

You could say the plot from Glenrothes was 'scotched' !!

Good news.

You sure it's not a typo? ....they meant to say tourist?

[Old_Geezer]

So where's Glenrothes, is that in Rome ?

[wolf63]

In the dark days when I had to work for a living, we used to go to Glenrothes to play ten pin bowling. It wasn't the most exciting of destinations but was the nearest bowling alley.

It's not unknown for terrorists to strike small towns. Last year Trebes in southern France was targeted and people killed.

Naomi //It's not unknown for terrorists to strike small towns//

Yes, such attacks can occur anywhere which is why nobody can afford to be complacent.

A potential terrorist could be living a stones throw away....

Why should Scotland be surprised by terrorist activity? Lockerbie anybody? :-(

[douglas9401]

The surprise may be more about the accused, one Sam Imrie according to theBeeb.
Sounds home-grown and not one of the usual suspects.

[Hymie]

There is a high-tech company heavily involved in the defence industry with a facility in the town, which may have been the target.

Good thinking Hymie.
