You published a letter from my brother Alan (18 June) supporting a No vote in the independence referendum on the basis that the UK honours system, if independence were to be gained, would no longer apply in Scotland, and all our celebrities, captains of industry, sport stars, etc, who currently receive such honours would all migrate southwards in order to qualify, to the detriment of public, cultural and sporting life in Scotland.

Scottish Government ministers are presenting to the Scottish Parliament just before the summer break the long-heralded legislation that would allow same-sex marriage in Scotland.

The number of letters that ­attempt to attack the wind industry continues to astonish me. What forms of energy do these people think we will use when fossil fuels do actually run out?

In an article on the car crash that is Heart of Midlothian (18 June) Alan Patullo quotes Fraser Wishart, chief executive of the Scottish Football Association (SFA), as saying: “Others lived within their means – Hearts did not.”

With reference to the recent correspondence on the National Trust of Scotland it is sad to note the existing trustees reverting to type. To “recommend” members to vote for three of the 13 nominated candidates is totally inappropriate and ill-judged.

It would appear Peter Jones has been in hibernation throughout our recent cold winter. That, at least, would explain the imbalance in his article (Perspective, 18 June) about the risks to Scotland’s ongoing membership of the European Union.

I am sure David Cameron found it galling to receive a lecture on human rights from Vladimir Putin, especially since, on this occasion, the Russian is probably right (your report, 17 June).

David Cameron has vowed that he will “put the heat” on the likes of Google and web firms to force them to ban child abuse websites. Mr Cameron is reported to have said: “The world has changed so fundamentally with the internet that we’ve got real threats there to our children and the appalling scourge of child pornography. We’ve got to take a lot of action.”

I would be very surprised if Mancunian-born (and accented) Corporal Kurt Lee does not consider himself an Englishman, yet you refer to him as a “Scots hero of Taleban battle” (18 June).

Supporters who mainly argue for the retention of Church of Scotland dominance in religious education (RE) appear to overlook the fact that Scotland is now multi-religious and also has an increasing proportion of non-believers who deserve equal consideration.

Alan Clayton (Letters, 17 June) may be too partisan, it seems to me, in attributing blame for the ruinous First World War.

I can’t begin to describe how disgusted and upset I am by the behaviour of Oban’s Lorn and Islands District General Hospital (your report, 17 June).

So the Scottish Government’s Land Reform Policy Group has now been watered down to the Community Ownership Review Group (Letters, 11 June).

It is surprising to note the coverage given to the comments by Catalan MEP, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, that Spain would not accept an independent Scotland into the European Union (your ­report, 17 June).

Although it is not a ­common experience on my part, I cannot help but think that Vladimir Putin’s analysis of the situation in Syria is the right one (your report, 17 June).

Professor Denis Mollison’s long record of support for the National Trust for Scotland is one we are very grateful for 
(Letters, 15 June).

Your report of the row over the existence of Nessie (15 June) highlights the problem of making money out of myths.

In arguing against me on behalf of a public service, funded for the most part by public money, Neil Addison (Letters, 17 June) claims that the Equality Act grants Stonewall a positive discrimination right to restrict its services to homosexuals.

Lately there have been many items in your newspaper suggesting an independent Scotland would find it difficult to get along in the world because it would be excluded from arrangements that are presently organised on a UK-wide basis.

Several writers commented about the BBC’s Question Time last Thursday featuring a panel of referendum commentators facing an audience of 16- to 17-year-olds (Perspective, 
15 and 17 June).
