Margo MacDonald – Farmers Market – Easter Bunny – Radio 4 show – Free swimming this Easter for schoolchildren
The papers are full of the sad news about Margo MacDonald MSP who died yesterday afternoon at home in Edinburgh. Her position as an MSP will remain unfilled until the next election.
Some fine tributes to Margo in today’s papers, including @edinburghpaper “fearless, independent, our champion” pic.twitter.com/JzceYzffjo

From today until 20 April 2014 you can go down to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and find a gold Lindt bunny…
You collect a trail map at the Visitor Welcome Desk at the gates and you will actually be given a chocolate rabbit at the end of your search.
More details here but no booking required.

A Radio 4 show on Monday has a couple of Edinburgh connections – firstly it is made by the guys behind Absolutely some of whom come from Edinburgh, and secondly it is about Edinburgh. Listen in on Monday at 11.30 for the first in a six part series!
