It's not longer the flagship it once was. Yes Scotland is part of the UK, however when the top story is NHS, Education etc it has No uses to anyone in Scotland.

When the BBC News at One becomes a full hour I wonder if the nation/regions opt-out will still be at 1.30pm. If so there's the potential to allow nations to have a full half-hour bulletin, whilst the English regions re-join the national news at around 1.45pm. This might then help the BBC with any political backlash against the news content being reduced on BBC Scotland, as well as providing additional news that is relevant to the nations.
