We’re tired of going oot, and no doubt you are too. It’s the weather that’s the issue of course – one week it’s gorgeous, the next it snows, and every time we leave the house we must burden ourselves with wellies, suncream, mittens and a snow plough (which is murder on our handbag).

Braving perfectly foul Edinburgh spring weather, which had reduced the Spurtle posters outside to tattered mush before kick-off, 5 candidates for the City of Edinburgh Council's City Centre ward gathered at a hustings in Bellevue Crescent last night to meet the public.

There were more than one or two unoccupied seats for those who arrived late.
Yet another member of Broughton's restless cat population has gone walkabout, leaving emotional mayhem in her wake.
This time it's Maggie, a distinctive black, 8 year-old who was last seen on Gibson Street (off the Bonnington Rd / Pilrig St junction) on 14 April.
Maggie had an eventful life before adoption by her present owner, and bears the marks. She has a missing back toe, a missing front (large) tooth, a ragged tip to her ear, and a slightly squint jaw. She has lovely green eyes, but no collar as she's been chipped.
She's described as 'a survivor'.
