Independence March – #askLBP Liveblog – Doors Open Days – Dieter Roth – Stanley Odd
Parts of central Edinburgh will be a bit busy tomorrow as there is an independence march and rally taking place. More details here but Alex Salmond, Margo McDonald and Patrick Harvie are all appearing on the same bill. Curiously they also promise face painting for the children… The march runs (or perhaps walks) from The Meadows to Princes Street Gardens.

Last night we held a Q and A with Chief Superintendent Malcolm Graham which you can read now. He had interesting views on policing the city and also answered a question about armed police quite fully. The Reporter was pretty impressed that he arrived by bike even though it was raining so much yesterday.
We hope to give you details soon of the next #askLBP, but if you would like it to feature your local police officers then do let us know! theedinburghreporter@gmail.com

Doors Open Day suggestion for you today is to head for the Cockburn Society website and download the App to help you navigate your way around all of the wonderful buildings in Edinburgh that are open for viewing this weekend.

We saw the Dieter Roth exhibition just before it opened for the Art Festival and his quirky video diaries have left a lasting impression! The exhibition at the Fruitmarket Gallery finishes soon, and we would heartily recommend it to you as something a bit arty for this weekend. You might get a taste of what you can see here on this video:-

Stanley Odd plays the Liquid Room on Victoria Street tonight. We have a review of the latest album over here to whet your appetite.
