Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.How far can you hurl a haggis? Head for the Cairngorm Mountains on Easter Sunday and discover more about this arcane activity from members of the Order of the Crumbs at the annual haggis-hurling competition at Nethy Bridge. In the evening you could dine on six courses at the Abernethy Highland Banquet, attended by Dougal McDougal of Dougal, and have an opportunity to twirl afterwards in the eightsome reel.
The haggis-hurling competition takes place at 10.30am on 12 April at the Nethybridge Hotel, Nethy Bridge, Inverness-shire, PH25 3DP (01479 821203). Entry for the competition costs 50p a throw, with the proceeds going to Cairngorm Mountain Rescue.
