Beskrivelse

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.

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.
