The Perfect Murder
At Our Dynamic Earth
Reviews on the Fringe
Gallery on the Corner needs you
Watch this film by Lord Lang of Monkton to find out what the latest House of Lords enquiry is all about. Just in case though this is what the House of Lords tell us the enquiry will deal with:
“The Committee is concerned that the current devolution settlement is the result of ad hoc, piecemeal, change rather than the result of a considered and coherent process that takes into account the needs of the UK as a whole. Its inquiry will therefore focus not only on devolution but on the Union itself, to try and identify what binds the constituent parts of the UK together in a single Union, and to consider ways in which that Union might be strengthened and reinforced.”

As if we haven’t got enough to deal with at the moment with everything that you can go and see here in Edinburgh at the moment we are told that the King’s will be staging The Perfect Murder – next February. But at least it gives you another chance to go and see the lovely Dome that John Byrne created.
Just time to book a ticket or two then!

A section of the world’s biggest scientific experiment – the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – will be part of an interactive exhibition at Edinburgh’s Dynamic Earth starting Friday 31 July.
A life-sized mock up of part of the 27-kilometer particle accelerator will be on display at the attraction until 24 August – one stop on a national roadshow that celebrates the UK’s involvement in the groundbreaking discoveries made by the LHC.
The exhibition, which has been created and loaned by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), will feature a 6m long x 2.8m wide ‘walk through’ section of the LHC tunnel and accelerator. This is the machine that confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson particle – proposed by University of Edinburgh professor Peter Higgs, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery with François Englert in 2013.
Hermione Cockburn, Scientific Director at Dynamic Earth, said: “The CERN Hadron Collider is pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery, and changing what we know about the composition of our Universe. It’s incredibly exciting to have a section of the world’s largest experiment on display, and fitting that it should visit us here in Edinburgh, where Professor Higgs theorised the existence of his proposed particle.”
Eilidh Massie, Marketing Manager at Dynamic Earth, adds: “Alongside this impressive machine section, there will also be iconic and stunning images from the world of science, and a host of interactive exhibits. This is certainly an event not be missed at Dynamic Earth, and we’re sure our visitors are going to love it.”
