Local basketball players are crowdfunding to upgrade the popular court in the grounds of Drummond Community High School.
They’re motivated in part by a desire to upgrade dated hoops (currently at the wrong height) and replace concrete with tarmac.
Sports fans from across Edinburgh will gather soon to celebrate a well-kent face on the Scottish basketball scene – Danny Kaye.
Kaye will be fêted by friends and admirers at the Powderhall Arms on Broughton Road as a portrait of him by rising London-based artist James Metcalfe is unveiled to locals for the first time (see below).
The result of over 20 sittings, it depicts the 81-year-old youth in characteristic pose and clothes, with a camera, basketball and cryptic crossword at his side – all clues to the man's distinctive passions over the years.
