    Remembering 911 Through Global Eyes | Edinburgh News

    Twenty-five years ago, the world stopped as September 11, 2001, shattered peace with coordinated attacks that left an indelible mark on history. From Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to Aberdeen’s department stores, people across the globe recall exactly where they were when the Twin Towers fell and chaos erupted. A student’s lecture was canceled mid-air; a laundry-washer became a witness to unfolding horror; a mother and daughter in Pennsylvania clung to hope at a church, hearts heavy with fear for loved ones. These personal stories—raw, vivid, and unforgettable—remind us how deeply that day changed everything. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Abigail’s Legacy Walks On | Edinburgh News

    In honor of Abigail Millar, a vibrant 41-year-old who lost her battle with bowel cancer, her family is walking the Edinburgh Kiltwalk to raise funds and awareness for Bowel Cancer UK. Diagnosed in December 2024 after persistent abdominal pain, Abigail’s cancer was stage three and had spread aggressively despite surgery. Her husband Ross recalls her fierce love for life and family, and her final wish: to alert younger people about the rising incidence of bowel cancer. With their team, “Abigail’s Star Team,” already raising over $3,000, they’re turning grief into action—walking not just for remembrance, but to save lives by pushing for earlier diagnoses and greater awareness.

    Ageu’s Return: Patience Over Pressure | Edinburgh News

    Ageu’s return to Hearts is heating up — the Brazilian midfielder, signed for a club-record £1.75M from Santa Clara, is finally back in training after a frustrating injury layoff. Though fans are buzzing and new coach Wouter Vracken is optimistic, he’s keeping things grounded: Ageu’s not a savior, but a smart, creative playmaker who needs time to rebuild his rhythm without risking re-injury. The pressure’s on him to deliver, but the team’s got his back — one cautious step at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Stage Adaptation of Silence of the Lambs | Edinburgh News

    Mollie Gallagher delivers a magnetic, Jodie Foster-esque turn as Clarice Starling in the stage adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs, bringing chilling intensity to the iconic cat-and-mouse game with Hannibal Lecter. While the production’s visual design—multi-level sets, haunting lighting, and immersive projections—creates a masterfully atmospheric experience, the heavy dialogue and slow pacing in the first act leave some critics wanting more cinematic restraint. Still, it’s a bold, conversation-starting revival that proves live theater can still unsettle audiences in profound ways.

    GTA VI Drama: Union Workers Sue Rockstar | Edinburgh News

    Twenty-three former Rockstar North employees are taking the company to an employment tribunal, claiming they were unfairly fired in October for union involvement — not misconduct or leaks. Backed by the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain, they say they were blacklisted and targeted, losing years of work just before GTA VI’s massive November release. Rockstar counters, insisting dismissals were for breaching confidentiality on a Discord server, and vows to fight hard. Supporters rallied outside court in Glasgow as the workers described the gut-wrenching loss of livelihood and community — all while the world waits for the game’s launch.

    Edinburgh Tram Expansion Approved | Edinburgh News

    Edinburgh’s city council has greenlit the business case for a new North-South tramline, prioritizing the southern stretch to the Royal Infirmary while leaving the northern leg to Granton on the table—but not off the table. After heated debate over the Roseburn Path’s use and motions to scrap the project both failing, the plan now ties into a broader regional transport vision for South East Scotland. Funding talks with the UK National Wealth Fund are underway, and SEStransit’s full analysis is due next autumn. This move signals a major leap for public transit, designed to match the city’s explosive growth and connect underserved communities—while balancing green space concerns and active travel needs.

    Bracelet With Ashes of Little Girl Missing | Edinburgh News

    A West Lothian family is desperately searching for a sentimental bracelet containing the ashes of their two-year-old daughter, Kerris, which vanished between Edinburgh and West Lothian around August 19th.

With a $500 reward on the table and emotional stakes too high to ignore, they’re asking anyone who spots a similar bracelet to reach out — because this isn’t just jewelry, it’s their child’s memory, and they need her back with them.

Exterior upgrades include LED screens and street-facing signage.

    St Kentigern's Rebuilt for the Future | Edinburgh News

    St. Kentigern’s Academy in Blackburn has officially unveiled its £35 million state-of-the-art extension, built after half the original structure collapsed due to crumbling concrete panels. The new facility includes a gym, dance studio, fitness suite, and modern classrooms — all made possible by West Lothian Council’s £20 million investment, pending the Scottish Government’s promised £15 million. Without it, local taxpayers could face a £30 million bill. Former pupil Gerry Bann helped open the doors, while students performed live as the Archbishop blessed the site. Headteacher Dr. Gerry Burns says the rebuild is already transforming education, allowing full curriculum delivery and exams on-site again — all completed on time and within budget despite massive challenges.

    Hearts vs Stenhousemuir: Focus Over Favorites | Edinburgh News

    Hearts face a stern test this Friday against Stenhousemuir in the Premier Sports Cup, despite their eight-game unbeaten run. Coach Wouter Vrancken warns his squad not to let favorite status cloud their focus, especially as Stenhousemuir plays on artificial turf at Ochilview — a surface that can catch teams off guard.

Vrancken stresses discipline and avoiding early complacency, while also preparing for a grueling schedule ahead with away games against Falkirk and Kilmarnock, plus six Conference League fixtures before Christmas — demanding smart rotations and player communication. Meanwhile, Stenhousemuir’s manager Marvin Bartley boasts a flawless 10-game record, instilling a disciplined yet creative system that empowers young midfield star Lewis O’Donnell to thrive. With both sides hungry and well-prepared, this clash promises intensity, grit, and high stakes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Fly-Tipping Surge Points to Commercial Abuse | Edinburgh News

    West Lothian Council has slapped over ten thousand pounds in fines on fly-tipping offenders — and it’s not your average neighbors doing the dumping. Investigations reveal commercial operators are behind the surge, exploiting cheap, unlicensed waste removal services. While recycling center hours haven’t forced people into illegal dumping (thanks to plenty of unused slots), the volume of trash dumped has skyrocketed — pointing to organized, large-scale operations. The council’s smart combo of tech, community reporting, and prevention is catching more offenders, even if private land remains a challenge. Fly-tipping isn’t just ugly — it’s costly and illegal. Always verify waste haulers are licensed, and report suspicious activity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Riverbank Homes Stalled by Water Voles | Edinburgh News

    Plans to build 101 homes on the River Almond in Mid Calder have been halted after a protected water vole burrow was discovered — turning what seemed like a straightforward development into a wildlife law battle. Developers now face mandatory licensing requirements and must prove no alternative site or design exists to avoid harming the species, a legal hurdle they’ve failed to meet. Community concerns over traffic and services persist, while lawyers warn rushing a decision before a required ecological survey is “disgraceful.” The council has paused its decision for one to three months to gather updated data on water voles and great crested newts — signaling that protecting nature takes precedence over construction.

    A 32-year-old man, Shola Richards from Broxburn, appeared in court facing fatal charges after a deadly four-car crash on the A8 near Edinburgh Airport. The collision killed 58-year-old Linda Patterson, whose family praised her warmth and humor. Richards is also accused of obstructing justice by failing to stop or provide details after the crash — he didn’t enter a plea and remains in custody. Two other women, aged 19 and 23, are also charged but didn’t appear in court. Authorities urge anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward as the investigation continues.

    Martindale Back to Stabilize Livingston | Edinburgh News

    David Martindale is back in the dugout for Livingston, stepping in as interim manager after a rocky start to the season — just two wins in five games, seventh in the table. With relegation last year still fresh, the club needs points fast and is casting a wide net for a permanent manager, even looking overseas. Martindale, though he misses coaching, sees this as a short-term fix to stabilize the team while they hunt for the right successor. He’s focused on the upcoming clash with bottom-of-the-table Greenock Morton, aiming to keep pressure off players and boost morale during this transitional phase.

    Trams North or Lock In Inequality | Edinburgh News

    Edinburgh’s MP Tracy Gilbert is sounding the alarm as city councillors consider cutting the northern tramline extension—warning it would deepen inequality in Granton, Muirhouse, and Pilton, locking communities out of vital transport links. With major developments like Granton Waterfront and Art Works ramping up demand, she argues the tram is essential—not just a political gesture—but a decades-long commitment to equitable growth. As the Transport and Environment Committee votes Thursday at 10 AM, Gilbert’s rallying cry echoes: don’t let politics override people’s needs. The decision could reshape how Edinburgh connects—and who gets left behind. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Rockstar Union Dispute Heads to Tribunal | Edinburgh News

    Rockstar Games faces a high-stakes tribunal in Glasgow as 31 unionized workers, fired last October for allegedly leaking confidential info via a private Discord channel, fight back claiming it was retaliation for union membership. The IWGB accuses Rockstar of unlawful blacklisting and lack of due process, while Rockstar insists the dismissals were for gross misconduct tied to secrecy breaches—not union activity. Workers, devastated by losing years of work on GTA VI’s development, see this as a pivotal battle for labor rights—and they’re demanding justice, rehire, or compensation before the game drops in November.

    Granton Residents Demand Tram | Edinburgh News

    Granton residents are sounding the alarm as Edinburgh’s transport committee prepares to decide the fate of the northern tram line — a vital link they say can’t be abandoned. After two decades of promises, cutting the Granton section would devastate communities already facing socio-economic hardship and set back future growth from the new waterfront development. While officials push for prioritizing the southern route, locals argue a compromise exists: a tram along the Roseburn corridor with preserved cycle and walkway access — a solution they believe hasn’t been seriously pursued. Meanwhile, affluent campaigners pushing to protect the Roseburn Path dominate public discourse, leaving Granton’s underrepresented voices sidelined. The community’s plea is clear: this isn’t just about transport — it’s about equity, connectivity, and securing North Edinburgh’s future.

    Edinburgh’s Princes Street Plan | Edinburgh News

    Edinburgh’s city councillors have rejected a bold vision for Princes Street that would’ve turned it into a pedestrian paradise with sidewalk cafes, opting instead for a more modest upgrade: wider sidewalks, new stone paving, extra seating, and later Gardens hours. Plans also include converting shelters to cafes, restoring the Ross bandstand, adding a lift to the Gardens, and upgrading toilets and fountains. Critics call it a superficial resurfacing, arguing it misses an opportunity for true transformation. Council leaders countered that this pragmatic approach allows immediate implementation without costly delays, preserving community stability while leaving room for future enhancements — with a revised strategy expected early 2027.

    A Lawyer’s Warning: Get Checked | Edinburgh News

    An Edinburgh lawyer’s life-changing prostate cancer diagnosis has turned him into a passionate advocate for early screening. After a routine blood test revealed an elevated PSA, he discovered aggressive cancer in January—staged before it spread—and underwent robotic surgery in March. Facing emotional turmoil during the waiting period, he found strength in community and kept his sons in the dark until treatment was clear. Now biking again—including a grueling 90-kilometer ride in the Tour de 4—he’s raising funds for Prostate Cancer UK and urging men over 45 to ask for PSA tests at every check-up.
