Everyone at Hibernian FC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Hibs legend Alex Cropley, at the age of 75.
A member of the Hibs Hall of Fame, Alex made 199 appearances for the Club and was an instrumental part of the iconic 'Turnbull's Tornadoes' side that won the League Cup in 1972.
Cropley scored 49 goals for Hibs, including the fourth in our 0-7 victory over Hearts at Tynecastle on New Year's Day 1973.
Rest in peace, Alex 💚
I was delighted to pop in to this today and thanks to all the Cllr Scott and to Claire Brooks and all her colleagues who organised this. Losing at Connect 4 to someone who was over 40 years younger than me was my particular highlight.......and he didn't even cheat!
🎉 Happy Care Day! 💙 Cllr Ellen Scott joined care‑experienced young people to celebrate this year’s theme of connections, highlighting how feeling valued and heard helps build belonging. Thanks to all who came together at One Youth in Dalkeith. 💬✨
A bit belated but we were pleased to be part of this and highlight the value of Community Payback Orders. Thanks to Sharon, all her team and @MAEDT1 for hosting and supporting our Justice services @MidlothianHSCP@midgov
Justice Secretary @AConstance23 visited @MAEDT1 to meet staff, and people on Community Payback Orders.
Community-based sentences ensure justice is served while being more effective than short custody at cutting reoffending.

The New Year can stir up all kinds of complicated feelings, especially if you’re struggling at the moment. Add in the pressure to celebrate and it can all just feel like too much.
If you find this a hard time of year, you're not on your own – we’ll be here all night long 💚
Sit back and enjoy one of the best anthems in football 🎶

Suicidal thoughts and depression can quietly infiltrate your life.
This ongoing struggle can gradually gain control, but it doesn’t have to.
When you don’t have the strength to take another step, ask those you love to pull you. You’re never alone in this 🧡
In #AssistedDying debate I’ve heard it said that suicide is different because terminally ill people want to live.
A misunderstanding. Many suicidal people are seeking not to die but to escape a desperate situation, seeing no future. Intent fluctuates.
There is no dividing line.
🚧 Big news for Bonnyrigg. Highbank Intermediate Care's new home—the Midlothian Life Care Facility—is nearly ready. A Passivhaus-standard building with en-suite rooms, sensory spaces & more. Move-in early 2026. Same care, new purpose-built space. Stay tuned!
I am really not sure how anyone could properly listen to the thoughtful evidence from the witness from the National Down's Syndrome Policy Group to the House of Lords Assisted Dying committee, and still think this bill is ethical.
