Hi ,
We hope this newsletter finds you riding the waves of a great weekend, whether you're sipping your morning coffee, indulging in the sweet drama of Glasgow’s Willy Wonka experience, or getting ready for a walk along the seaside.
Speaking of the sea, it’s been a month of fishy business here at The Ferret. In February, we launched our latest series, 'Scotland’s Seas in Danger.' 🐋 Over the coming months, we’ll be shedding light on the complex challenges affecting our marine environment – from overfishing to pollution.
But hold on tight, because just like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, there's always more beneath the surface. And that brings us to the heart of our newsletter – the impact of our journalism. We're excited to share not just the stories we've uncovered this month but also the ripples they've created in the real world.
So, grab your virtual diving gear, and let's plunge into what we’ve been up to in the past month.

At the end of January we published a secretly-filmed video allegedly featuring the controversial businessman, Mark Fortune, threatening a tenant in a row over rent payments.
The footage led to renewed accusations from campaigners that authorities are guilty of inaction. Watch the video here.
Following our story, Labour’s Sarah Boyack MSP urged the Scottish Government and Edinburgh city council to open a “proper investigation” into the case. Boyack said those who subject tenants to “abusive” behaviour should “face serious consequences”. |

...and it raised some questions |
