BBC Scotland employees get enormously pee'd off when a story in Scotland
attains 'national' status and a 'big-name' reporter gets sent up to
cover the story - as I think happened with the avian flu incident in Fife?

Of course it is "different" when there is a Scottish story down in
England and they send a reporter down from Glasgow.

Such stories usually seem to get covered in the Scottish news by the
resident reporters.

Or one of their people to somewhere nice and exotic to do a story "from a Scottish point
of view".

Doing it from the Shepherds Bush POV doesn't just annoy Scots.
