Description

A woman named Vikki Solomon was brutally murdered by her ex-partner, a tragedy that underscores the ongoing crisis of men’s violence against women and children in Scotland, where 65,000 domestic abuse incidents were recorded last year. Despite Parliament passing life-saving protections five years ago, including Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Orders — which would allow immediate removal of abusers — they remain unimplemented, leaving victims and children dangerously exposed. The politician Vikki worked with is now pushing for urgent action, honoring her memory and pledging to protect those still at risk.

Vault City’s Fruit-Fueled Brew Boom | Edinburgh News

Vault City, Edinburgh’s sour beer rebels, are exploding in popularity—projecting 38% growth this year after a 21% surge last year. They’re doubling down on fruit, aiming for 40% more fruit per can to match soaring consumer demand for bold, real fruit flavors. Their wild new brew, ‘999 GL,’ packs nearly a kilo of fruit per liter—pushing the legal limit before it becomes cider. Born in a two-bedroom apartment, the brewery now ships to 26 countries and stocks 5,000 UK supermarkets, moving 3.3 million cans last year. With over 200,000 kg of Scottish fruit in their arsenal, Vault City isn’t just brewing beer—they’re crafting smoothie-like sensations that fans can’t get enough of.

episode Leith’s Food Scene in Crisis | Edinburgh News artwork

Leith’s Food Scene in Crisis | Edinburgh News

Leith’s top chefs are sounding the alarm as tram disruptions and a Princes Street fire cripple access to the neighborhood’s booming food scene, with one award-winning chef reporting a 60% drop in business and risking a $100K loss. With the Edinburgh Fringe just around the corner, restaurateurs are furious over the lack of a repair timeline or contingency plan, while officials admit tram vehicles were at the depot and the damaged building is too unstable for vibrations. Beyond the trams, chefs blame years of poor traffic planning that isolates Leith — a prime dining destination reliant on walk-ins — and warn businesses are being ignored. Council members are urging the Scottish Government for emergency financial aid, similar to Glasgow’s post-fire support, while encouraging visitors to still come by bus or e-bike and support local spots as the city works to recover.

Mary Smith’s 105th Birthday Celebrated Globally | Edinburgh News

Mary Davidson Smith just turned 105 and celebrated with 105 birthday cards from around the world — including a royal message from King Charles. Born in Korea, she’s lived through England, Canada, and the U.S., served in the Royal Navy, and met her husband in Washington D.C. Her care home in Edinburgh received cards from as far as Singapore, and she even reunited with a traditional Korean outfit from nearly 100 years ago. Her secret? “I enjoy it – keep on going.” And she’s already planning her next big celebration with a good strong whisky.
