TVC on CIN night was a very exciting place to work indeed and there was a real buzz about the place, as there was at regional sites when regional output was a core part of the programme. Quite sad to be honest.
Aah so regional opts were dropped I didn’t realise that’s a shame.

An oddity for you. On the face of it, what appears to be a standard Nine O'Clock News - or Main News, in this case - from November 1983, but not quite.
AFAIK, Celtic's UEFA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest was being shown live on this particular evening - but only on BBC1 Scotland (7.10 - 9.20pm). Highlights were shown elsewhere via Sportsnight.
So, what follows is a Scottish-only network bulletin, shown at 10.20pm, while everyone else got the Nine as usual (a drama called Spyship filled the gap in Scotland between the football and the news)
Content wise, there's nothing particularly outstanding but at least it's evidence.

When was the last Scotland-only network bulletin? I know they still occasionally have cropped up in recent years, typically on weekends, but can't recall one in the last few.

In recent years, I think they've mostly cropped up on Hogmanay - and the odd Bank Holiday here and there.
