London-Edinburgh relations

There seems to be thaw under way in terms of relations between the new Labour Cabinet at Westminster and the SNP Scottish Executive in Edinburgh, at least judging from today's story in the Herald which reports that the new Scottish Secretary Des Browne met with Angus Robertson MP, now leader of the SNP in the House of Commons, and First Minister Alex Salmond, following the Royal opening of the Scottish Parliament on Saturday morning. Changed days indeed!
