Work on Glen Sannox fell way behind schedule with Ferguson blaming repeated design changes. Administrators at Ferguson shipyard have gained approval for their plan to hand it over to the Scottish government.However, it’s now clear that the adviser to the Scottish government was against nationalisation.There was repeated advice to move to arbitration in the battling between the government’s quango and Ferguson shipyard, but it came to nothing.
OVERTOUN ESTATE IN OCTOBER
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
