Description

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.

Edinburgh Draw, Klindt Dominates | Edinburgh News

Edinburgh Monarchs stunned on the road with a gritty 45-45 draw against Workington Comets, clinching two vital league points and a bonus point for an eight-point aggregate edge. Manager John Campbell praised the team’s resilience, especially on a track they’d never won at before, spotlighting Jordy Loftus, Jonatan Grahn, and Kye Thomson’s 13-point hauls, plus Justin Sedgmen’s 10. But the real showstopper? Workington’s Nicolai Klindt, who obliterated the field with a flawless 18-point performance. Elsewhere, Berwick Bandits edged Plymouth Gladiators 49-41, led by Peter Kildemand’s 12-point bonus effort, while Danny King tallied 11 for Plymouth — though Berwick narrowly missed their own aggregate bonus.
