The day has dawned for the World’s Biggest Coffee morning for Macmillan….send us your photos of the best cakes!

We have been worrying all summer long that the stands at Edinburgh Castle would blight the skyline all year round but it appears not as our photograph shows. Presumably there is some structure left in place but we have to get up to the Esplanade to check it out for you! Unless you already know?

Damien Henderson in The Herald tells us that the government have backed down and will now enlist the help of Network Rail rather than a private company to build the 30 mile rail route from Edinburgh to Tweedbank, a move which he says will cause some delay in the contract being completed.

Leith Festival is holding a quiz night tonight to raise funds for its events. It will be held upstairs on the balcony. The organisers say:-“The Granary is a great pub. If you have not been along the shore before its very lovely. The 22, 16, 35 & 36 buses goes right by the door. The Granary is next to The Cruz boat, very easy to find.”

Each person pays Ā£5, teamsĀ of up to 6 – 8 people. Lots of prizes for the winners.

Our guide to What’s on in October is due for publication tomorrow morning – you still have time today to send us any last minute details of October events for inclusion!
