Wallace and Gromit Double Feature | Edinburgh News

Wallace and Gromit are back on the big screen in a double feature packed with Aardman’s signature charm—“A Close Shave” and “A Matter of Loaf and Death.” In the first, the duo’s window-cleaning biz spirals into a noir-style sheep rustling mystery, introducing Shaun the Sheep for the first time. The second sees them baking up trouble when a serial killer targets bakers—and Wallace might be next. Both films blend inventive humor, quirky characters, and escalating chaos, with “A Close Shave” rated U and “A Matter of Loaf and Death” PG for mild threat. Catch them now before Aardman’s new Shaun the Sheep Halloween movie drops later this year. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Josh Kerr Shatters Mile Record | Edinburgh News

Josh Kerr just shattered the mile world record with a blistering 3:42.66, ending a 27-year drought and cementing his legacy as the fastest miler on the planet. Already an Olympic silver medalist and World Champion, Kerr crushed his own “Project 222” target, breaking away solo in the final 110 meters in a black suit and spikes. He admits he could’ve gone faster, but this victory—achieved in a non-Olympic track meet—marks a historic moment for British athletics. Praise poured in from Scotland’s First Minister, the Lord Provost, and even The Proclaimers, making it a triumphant day for Scottish sport.

Unauthorized Camp Disrupts School Evacuation | Edinburgh News

A fire alarm at Saltersgate School in Midlothian turned into a chaotic evacuation when students and staff discovered their usual meeting spot was blocked by an unauthorized camp. Thankfully, it was a false alarm, but the incident exposed deeper problems: repeated encampments on school grounds are disrupting sports, damaging facilities, and intimidating kids. With no official sites for travelers, these camps keep popping up — especially on community campuses — forcing officials to scramble for solutions. Councilors are now pushing the Scottish Government for new legislation to protect schools and ensure safe, shared spaces for everyone.
