BBC1 Scotland Closedown

[JFredUK]

I don't see the point of them having 24 hour television, personally. Who wants to watch the news at 3am? Although, watchingthe same thing over and over may probably help insomniacs!

Loving Google's attempts to give us the lyrics of the National Anthem when you put captions on - had no idea our National Anthem had anything to do with a brown world.

@AidanLunn what?

[Visonu]

Which Scottish city or town do you live?

[yellowceitidh]

They play it after the shipping forecast on BBC Radio 4 at about 5 minutes to one before they switch to World Service.

Why they weren't playing Loch Lomond/Flower of Scotland/Scots Wae Hae/Ye Cannae Shove yer Granny auf a Bus I don't know.

If you weren't asleep before this dirge came on then it would certainly have you nodding off during it. Thank St Andrew they don't do this anymore!!

[philevans1986]

Half surprised they didn't go the Welsh way of playing the end of their own anthem first. Was expecting a little Flower of Scotland there!

[danielbarnes2007]

-stands and salutes-

Wasn't expecting that at the end..

wow

[OentOent]

Brilliant with the national anthem at the end, they should bring this back, I can watch BBC News 24 online anyway!

[Dreamweaverjack]

Why did they need to play the national anthem at the end of each day's broadcasting before closing down for the night??

[kanenkitten]

Well if the rescession continues they may bring it back to save money
