Red Bull Hillchasers – Portraits of Italian Cinema – Granton Community Gardeners – Leith Community Crops in Pots – Easter Egg Hunt
On Saturday there was a great buzz about The Mound when the Red Bull Hillchasers took place. Our photo shows the winner, Michal Prokop, who cycled up the hill from bottom to top in 27.759 seconds. Just remember that when your bus is going up there today or you are on foot trying not to stop halfway to catch your breath.

Leith Community Crops in Pots say that they were inspired by this video of a TED talk. Their Mission Statement is “To encourage and support the people and organisations of Leith to grow food vegetables, and flowers for bees, in urban spaces, in order to improve health and well-being, community cohesion and environment.”
Maybe it will inspire others across the city to get growing!
