Wester-Ross musician RuMac\u2019s Britain\u2019s Got Talent journey has come to an end after being eliminated from last Saturday\u2019s live semi-final.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ruairidh Maclean from Ullapool, who performs as RuMac, played a rendition of a-ha\u2019s Take On Me but went home after finishing 6th place on the public vote.<\/p>\n

Our readers took to social media to share their thoughts.<\/p>\n

RuMac said: \u201cIt was a bloody disaster! At least I can get back to normal!\u201d<\/p>\n

Grant Macdougall said: \u201cHe was rank rotten. He should have got all four bad buzzes.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which Donna MacIntosh replied: \u201cHe\u2019s an entertainer and entertained the crowd, so what\u2019s rank rotten about that? Could you go on live TV and perform in front of millions? Perhaps you should see him perform sometime and your opinion might change!\u201d<\/p>\n

Alana Steven stated: \u201cThey don\u2019t appreciate his talent and how hard it is to play the accordion! He did AMAZING!\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Warner said: \u201cWell I think he should be proud of himself. The fact that you\u2019ve got Simon backing your talents – the sky\u2019s the limit. Very well done and we look forward to seeing you do AC\/DC, Fleetwood Mac and all your own stuff when we get back up to the Highlands.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Gregory commented: \u201cShame he couldn\u2019t choose him own song! Even though it wasn\u2019t his chosen song, he performed it brilliantly. Judges are clearly biased against anything a tad different.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LocatorLocator – Dingwall Primary School<\/p>\n

Parents of pupils at Ross-shire\u2019s largest primary school are lobbying Highland Council to ditch plans to remove principal teachers<\/a> as part of cost-cutting measures.<\/p>\n

The move by Dingwall Primary School\u2019s Parent Council have been supported by a Highland councillor who brands the proposal \u201cabsurd\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ross-shire Journal readers took to Facebook to share their thoughts.<\/p>\n

Tasha Mac said: \u201cCan\u2019t run a ship without a captain. I feel for teachers, these days they have it tough. I\u2019ve heard awful stories especially in secondary schools. This move won\u2019t help bullying in schools, nor will it help children with additional needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Wilson commented: \u201cThey are removing them all across the region, not just Dingwall. And it\u2019s too late, it\u2019s been done. Why should Dingwall Primary be a special case?\u201d<\/p>\n

To which Myisha Sweeney replied: \u201cAs the largest primary school in the Highlands, with a complex structure and wide-ranging needs, we believe our school must keep its current leadership team to continue supporting all our pupils effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur kids will suffer in the end when jobs don\u2019t get done, because they don\u2019t have time to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
