The Grapes is an artsy bar in #Edinburgh's hip southside district. The shabby chic exterior is echoed inside, where you can sample an extensive vegan cocktail menu while enjoying the bohemian ambience. A must-visit for #freshers
The Highland Clearances, are well documented sadly the same cannot be said of the the Lowland Clearances
The activities in the Lowlands from 1760 to 1820 is a vital part of Scottish History that must be told. Lanarkshire for example parish records show that the rural population
Roseburn to Union Canal is officially open!

Gardener's Cottage and Lookout restaurants have permanently closed. Website thanks patrons for 'all your support over the years'. Tough times: customers with less disposable income; increased ingredient prices; fuel-intensive kitchens with increased energy costs. Where's next?
With Ed Davey going for Xmas no. 1, brief Colinton/Fairmilehead Lib Dem councillor Louise Spence could do the same with all her free time. But which song should she cover?

I understand that the Lib Dem who won the Colinton, Oxgangs and Fairmilehead election last week is moving to Dubai... so there may be ANOTHER by-election. It will be a double, as the local SNP Cllr also resigned on Monday.
This is a shambolic disgrace - I hope the Lib Dems will cover the cost of the by-election.
Labour has just issued the statement below.
=====
Cllr Stephen Jenkinson, Senior Labour Councillor and campaign manager for Labour in the recent by-election said
“The Libdems ran a very deceptive campaign in Colinton/Fairmilehead and it now seems they also ran a very deceptive candidate.
She conned her party, her activists but worst of all she conned the people who voted for her.
No one will trust a Libdem leaflet or a libdem candidate here ever again.
Thankfully, we are well served by two excellent Labour MPs here and when we go back to the polls in January we can elect a hard working Labour Councillor who will be committed to Colinton/Fairmilehead and who will work tirelessly to represent them in the City Chambers.”

How about this AI-rtist's impression of a coo taking tea with the late Queen in front of what appears to be her own funeral cortege? Tastefully positioned above another with curlers in taking a pat in a human toilet. Which perhaps sums it up aptly
BBC reporting on independence still as accurate as ever:
"almost one in four (39%) of 16 to 24-year-old respondents said they would back Yes"
Plus ça change.

Fascinating as it is to read about golfers practicing the week before a tournament, I would rather the BBC's golf correspondent had been at the Scottish Open to cover Bob MacIntyre's home victory.
