Wings Over Scotland

Wings over Scotland is extremely chuffed to be able to welcome aboard a new contributor today, in the form of Scott Minto. Scott may already be familiar to those of you who regularly inhabit the Guardian's comment pages, where his alter-ego "sneekyboy" regularly posts lengthy streams of exceptionally well-informed and accurately-sourced data in response to Unionist misinformation and anti-Scottish trolling from Daily Mail and Express readers.

(We were especially impressed by his submissions to the Guardian's interesting recent "Reality Check" series on Scottish independence, where his command of officially-verified facts put not only other commenters to shame, but frequently also the authors of the articles themselves, by their own admission.)

He'll be lending us his encyclopaedic statistical knowledge but also gracing the blog with other contributions, columns and essays, of which you'll be seeing the first later today. It's a meaty, chunky piece to get your teeth into for the weekend, so go and pour yourself a wee dram in readiness and prepare to be enlightened. We're delighted to have Scott join the team, and we think you will be too.

If you'd like to contribute to Wings over Scotland too, we welcome all quality submissions, including from those opposed to independence. Drop us a line via our contact form or message us on Twitter.
