Corinthian is due to come in to the Forth Ports Cruise Terminal today for replenishing and turnaround. She will leave again at 11pm. Described as a luxury adventure cruise ship with 100 berths there are some really luxurious suites aboard! She appears to be at the end of a 9 day UK tour.

Tthe BPG summer picnic will be held in the Barony Community Garden (Barony Place) on Sunday 7 June from 1-5pm.
We hope this will be a fun, relaxed event for the community to enjoy. It is a free, bring-your-own picnic event – we will be providing tea, coffee & treats from our new gazebo and some ‘atmosphere’!
Everyone is welcome – drop in briefly or stay for longer (1-5pm).

Barnardo’s Scotland is hoping golfers in Edinburgh and the Lothians will be inspired by National Golf Month this May to sign up to take part in the charity’s fifth annual golfing event on Thursday 27th August 2015 at Duddingston Golf Club.
Participants will be suitably fuelled with morning rolls on arrival and a two course light supper on completion of the 18 holes. As well as a prize for the winning team, spot prizes will be awarded throughout the day and a silent auction will be laid on too.
To register your team of four at £350 or for further information, please visit http://www.barnardos.org.uk/golfday.

To help celebrate their 150th anniversary (1864-2014) Trevor Yerbury has undertaken a project to help celebrate those individuals in Edinburgh and the Lothians who do interesting/unusual jobs. Perhaps preserving a traditional craft, working in an unusual job/skill or helping create new opportunities.
Trevor told us: “With this series we want to bring people’s attention to the people of Edinburgh and the Lothians they might otherwise simply ignore.
“In a way it is a continuation of our highly successful CITIZENS exhibition for 2003/04.
“We have already done around a dozen portraits which are all studio based and these include a gramophone DJ, a placenta specialist, a classical saw player, and a Scottish armourer who crafts specialist swords and knives. All live and/or work in the Edinburgh and Lothians area.
“We are now looking for further individuals to be included in this project.”
