Wold Cup shirts awarded to Scottish hockey womenScotland women were presented with their World Cup shirts during a special reception in Edinburgh before heading to Belgium. Shirts and caps were awarded, and the staff were also rewarded in an emotional ceremony in Italian restaurant, Vittoria on the Bridge. Family and friends were given the honour of presenting the girls with their kit and they head over to Belgium later this month to meet Argentina, England and USA and the qualifiers. It is a daunting task against the South Americans, ranked No 2 in the world, England, five places below, and the USA, No 11 in the ratings, but Scotland have prepared well.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

Underneath the Arches: Obadiah’s new tasting room comes to AbbeyhillUnderneath the arches in Abbeyhill, with trains rattling by overhead, sits one of the most highly regarded coffee roasteries in the city: Obadiah. Founded in 2017 by Sam and Alice Young, Obadiah Coffee has built a reputation for its minimalist aesthetic and its focus on single origin clarity. I've walked past the roastery many times, and drunk their coffee in places across the city, so I was keen to go in and see it for myself. On Saturday, Obadiah held a 'soft launch' for its new tasting room, serving seasonal coffees to drink in or take away.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

Fringe 2026 – Sitting (In Silence)Sitting (In Silence) is a dark comedy that brings humour, honesty and humanity to one of the most urgent conversations of our time. Set during a ten-day silent meditation retreat, the play follows a father and daughter navigating an estranged relationship shaped as much by what is left unsaid as what is spoken aloud. The meditation retreat is supposed to help them find inner peace. DAD, played by Patrick O’Donnell (Vikings: Valhalla; REVENANT, Buxton Fringe Festival’s Best Production Award) is out of place from the get-go. He’s disruptive, doubtful and charming in a way that has everyone rolling their eyes, including his daughter.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

Victory double for Scottish HockeyScotland women edged South Africa 2-0 in the opening fixture of a two-match series at Peffermill, Edinburgh, as they continued their build-up for the FIH Hockey Women’s World Cup. Goals from Heather McEwan and Amy Costello made the difference in a match they controlled for much of the proceedings after making a powerful start. The Tartan Hearts spent majority of the opening quarter in the South African half but failed to turn that possession into goals. That changed early in the second quarter when Olympian, Costello, slipped the South African defenders following a penalty corner before feeding McEwan who slotted.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

There might be something spooky afoot on the farm in Shaun and the gang’s future, but the studio’s first ‘horror’ outing came some twenty years ago.  After the runaway success of the original Wallace and Gromit shorts, it made perfect sense to take a stab at a full-on feature.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

£30million recovered from criminals under the Proceeds of Crime ActOrganised crime gangs have had their bulging wallets picked after detectives seized almost £30 million in dirty money and criminal assets. Police Scotland hit crime kingpins where it hurts most by seizing £29.8 million in cash, luxury goods and assets bankrolled by organised crime over the past year. Violent gang bosses rake in huge illicit profits through empires built on drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking and cybercrime. Approximately two-thirds of active gangs in Scotland deal in the illicit drug trade, mainly in cocaine and cannabis. Now detectives, backed by justice officials, are using tough Proceeds of Crime Act powers to rip into the hidden wealth of drug kingpins, fraudsters and tax cheats by freezing accounts and seizing cash, cars and assets.theedinburghreporter.co.uk

Fearnley qualifies for Montreal MastersJacob Fearnley is in to the first round of the Montreal Masters tennis tournament and a pay cheque of at least £20,000 after coming through qualifying with a 7-6, 6-2 win over Austrian No 1 Sebastian Ofner. The Edinburgh player, who is expected to begin his campaign proper on Tuesday, made around half the number of unforced errors as his opponent - 16 to 31 - and that was perhaps key to the contest against a player currently ranked No 123 but has been as high at world No 37/theedinburghreporter.co.uk
