Kaye asks listeners how they would feel about fracking taking place under their homes.

Kaye Adams asks listeners how they would feel about fracking taking place under their homes and how big a deal the Ryder Cup is to them and to Scotland.

UK Government have announced that they are to remove the rights of householders to object to oil and gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing beneath their homes. This will include householders in Scotland, and comes despite 99 per cent of respondents to the UK Government consultation on the proposals objecting to them. It will mean that companies will be allowed to drill below people's land without first negotiating a right of access. Scotland's Energy Minister Fergus Ewing officially objected to the proposals and has condemned the decision, and has called for the key powers relating to this issue to be devolved to Scotland as part of the current devolution process.
Kaye asks: To Frack or not to Frack, under your house?


One of the biggest golfing events in the world tees off today at Gleneagles. With around 45,000 spectators expected at Gleneagles every day and an estimated 500 million viewers watching the event on TV, the Ryder Cup is expected to boost the Scottish economy by around £40m in direct marketing. Will watching the Ryder Cup inspire you to pick up a golf club or is it something that will pass you by without a second thought?
Kaye Adams asks: How big a deal is the Ryder Cup to you and to Scotland?
