New Kid on the Block
Aberdeen City Council has a new leader - 26 year old Callum McCaig - who has become the youngest council leader in Scotland.
No I don't know anything about Councillor McCaig - except that he entered local politics only four years ago - at the even more tender age of 22.
So he's some a long way - in a very short space of time.
And in an area of public life that is normally dominated by people who are - how can I put this delicately - much longer in the tooth than Councillor Callum McCaig.
But it just goes to prove the old footballing adage - 'if you're good enough, you're old enough'.
So I would just like to wish Councillor Mc Caig well - because local politics can be a rough old business - and he'll need all the luck he can get.
