Kuvaus

Josh Kerr just shattered the mile world record with a blistering 3:42.66, dethroning Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old mark in front of a roaring crowd at London Stadium. The Scottish phenom didn’t just break the record—he obliterated it, pulling away from top rivals like Yared Nuguse and Jake Heyward with jaw-dropping dominance. His mental grit under pressure, honed through years of relentless training and his “Project 222” mission, earned raves from legends like Sebastian Coe and even political and musical icons. Now the seventh Brit to hold the outdoor mile world record, Kerr’s performance is a masterclass in ambition, execution, and legacy.

Sausage Politics and Public Statues | Edinburgh News

Edinburgh artist Jamie Fitzpatrick unveils his provocative new exhibition, “Memorials to Sausage Politics,” at Edinburgh Printmakers—running until October 25—where he reimagines city statues as comic, monstrous sculptures and painted screen prints. Blending clay, foam, and rubber, Fitzpatrick exposes the absurdities of power and class through a funhouse mirror lens. This show marks a bold shift into printmaking, using bronze pigments and collage to scale up civic iconography, revealing how art and propaganda shape public memory. Backed by RSA and Henry Moore Foundation, the exhibition is hailed as a standout of the Edinburgh Art Festival, celebrating Fitzpatrick’s inventive, research-driven fusion of sculpture and print.

Wildfire Threatens Rare Butterfly | Edinburgh News

A wildfire near Arthur’s Seat scorched Salisbury Crags, leaving a blackened cliffside and threatening Scotland’s rarest butterfly, the Northern Brown Argus. With its caterpillars dependent on destroyed rock-rose, the colony faces severe risk. Rangers struggled to protect the habitat due to dangerous rockfall, and officials urge visitors to prevent future fires by checking forecasts, avoiding open flames, and properly disposing of litter. While some plants like gorse are resilient, the park’s fragile ecosystem depends on responsible behavior to survive.

Berwick Hold On for Thrilling Home Win | Edinburgh News

Berwick Bandits clinched a thrilling 49-41 home victory over the Plymouth Gladiators, with Peter Kildemand and Nick Morris delivering clutch five-one wins in heats thirteen and fifteen. Despite trailing for much of the night, Berwick clawed back thanks to Jye Etheridge and Kildemand, while Plymouth’s Danny King and Ben Barker kept them in the fight. A nail-biting finale saw Kildemand and Scott Nicholls battle wheel-to-wheel, with Nicholls narrowly edging it — until he was excluded for touching the tape, sealing Berwick’s win. Even with injuries and a gritty comeback, Berwick’s late surge, powered by Victor Palovaara and Jordan Jenkins, proved decisive. Plymouth earned a bonus point, but Berwick’s perfect home record remains intact — a night of heart, drama, and electric racing.
