During the week on Good Morning Scotland pastors and preachers take over from journalists and politicians, take a moment to reflect on a news story in The Thought for the Day slot. Last week, some young people from Generation 2014 (a group of 50 Scottish teenagers who'll have the right to vote in the Independence Referendum and who 大象传媒 Scotland's been following over the year) took over the TftD slot.
