Stop Climate Chaos Scotland’s Mass Lobby of the Scottish Parliament:

Scotland’s biggest ever climate lobby was staged yesterday, as hundreds of people met their MSPs at a lobby event at Dynamic Earth, next to the Parliament.

With a chance to ask their democratic representatives what they are doing to tackle climate change.

And several hundred activists - representing dozens of green and humanitarian organisations (and none) also demonstrated outside the Parliament building.

SUVs “Not Necessary in Cities” – a public event by Transform Scotland today on Edinburgh’s Leith Walk.
Inviting the public to engage through interviews, surveys, and social media.

And launched a new “Carspreading” billboard at the Leith Walk Police Box.

New polling released by Transform Scotland and Clean Cities finds that the majority of people in Scotland believe SUVs are unnecessary in urban areas - and are already causing harm.

🔍 Key findings from the YouGov survey (commissioned by Clean Cities):

✔️ 59% say SUVs are bought as status symbols
✔️ 61% say SUVs are unnecessary in urban areas
✔️ 62% say more SUVs will make parking more difficult

🗣️ As Transform trustee Rachael Revesz puts it:
“SUVs are the least efficient and most space-hungry vehicles on the road – yet their numbers are rising. Scotland’s cities now need to catch up with public opinion and act.”

A Wedding… in a bookshop…. an AirBNB bookshop… “normal” for Wigtown.
(Scotland’s National Book Town - officially).

The first ever wedding happened in the Open Book Airbnb bookshop in Wigtown - which is also home to its world-famous annual festival.

Book-lovers Aubree Williams and David Casey from America first met 35 years ago and fell in love. Then went their separate ways. And were finally re-united in this tiny town in Galloway.

The Open Book is rented to people who adore the idea of spending their holiday running a bookshop.

Calm down… it’s just the Apocalypse:

Wigtown Book Festival offers events featuring tips on how survive the end of the world.

Whether it’s nuclear armageddon, worldwide catastrophic flooding, pandemics or AI ruining everything.

Author, adventurer and survival expert Robert Twigger says we shouldn’t get too down-hearted about it - because we can survive and even have fun with it.

Top tips for surviving in your bunker include:
*Keep a pair of clean underpants – vital to filter contaminated water
*Have two exits to your bunker – rabbits do this to foil predators.
*Unfriend big eaters – they’ll gobble up your precious supplies in no time.

For Wigtown Book Festival and in today’s The Scotsman, The Herald and a page 3 main feature in The National.

www.wigtownbookfestival.com - from 26th September to 5th October.

With Matthew Shelley at Scottish Festivals PR - donning survival gear and trying to get a good read in trying conditions.
