here's our scotland correspondent james shaw. barbers and hairstylists, and everyone who has been desperate to tame their lockdown locks. hair salons say they're taking high levels of bookings but they're also having to deal with continuing health and safety restrictions which limit the amount of business they can do. cuts are by appointment only and mobile services are still not allowed, but at least stylists are back in business. it's such a relief — we're so happy to be back in the salon, getting back into doing what we love most and seeing all of our colleagues and regular clients coming back is just wonderful. and their customers could not be happier. it's fantastic. i've been coming to this salon for about 12 years and i knowl it is a great place to come to, and it just feels _ like spring is here. it might seem like a small thing to some, but getting a haircut can definitely contribute to a feeling that the worst of the second wave of the coronavirus crisis may be over. i have to say it is an enormous relief for me to be a

the duke of edinburgh had, of course, a long association with scotland.heir home at balmoral, the queen has regularly hosted prime ministers and first ministers. i always enjoyed my conversations with the duke of edinburgh on these visits, indeed, on all of the occasions that i met him, and i was struck by how different he was in private to the way he was sometimes characterised in public. he was a thoughtful man, deeply interesting, and fiercely intelligent. he was also a serious bookworm, which i am, too, so talking about the books we were reading was often, for me, a real highlight of our conversations. but i think anyone who, in their life, fought in world war ii, set up an organisation to help young people build resilience and change the course of their lives for the better, who helped found the world's largest conservation charity to save endangered species and who gave of his time to help 800 individual charities and was still working well into his 905, deserves to have that life recognised. there were many tributes to the duke of edinburgh awards
