Still wild:

Greg Hemphill (from Beeb TV shows "Chewin' The Fat" and "Still Game" ....as even the dogs in the street will know) and wife Julie Wilson Nimmo (Miss Hollie from "Balamory") throw themselves in a lake to launch Wigtown Book Festival 2025.

The top telly twosome will close the 10-day bookish event with a chat about their book to accompany their "Jules & Greg’s Wild Swim" series.

"Looney Tunes" pianist at Fringe:
“The Boy From Bantay” is a solo Edinburgh Fringe show with music and cartoons which follows the life of “Looney Tunes “ cartoon fan and pianist Jeremy Rafal - his successes and struggles and some of the people who have influenced him along the way - all the way from his home town of Bantay in the Philippines.

Jeremy is pictured in the Pianodrome, Granton, Edinburgh - a music amphitheatre made entirely from up-cycled pianos - www.pianodrome.org

A heart-warming story from the Fringe:

Youth theatre group Infinity Theatre and St John’s Country Day School, Jacksonville from Florida were all-set to come to this year's biggest arts festival in the world in May.

Then director / writer Paul Perez sadly died suddenly, leaving the group without a finished script and no idea how to make the show happen without Paul.

Luckily Paul's colleague in the school drama department, Todd Twining, wrote additional songs and worked with the young people to complete and develop the show.

And, with the guidance of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the show had its curtain-up on Saturday.

"The Idiot’s Guide to Breaking Your Own Heart" shows at Greenside Riddles Court until Wednesday, 1830.

Nice features in The National and The Scotsman on Saturday.

Show continues until Saturday (9th), 1605 at .

By France-based Kulturscio'k live art collective, showing until Saturday 9th August at theSpaceUK.

It promises to be a garden party packed with gossip, intrigue, mystery and music – worthy of Truman Capote himself.

How women won the West: a new Western film with a difference is being planned in Scotland.

Written, produced and financed by women, “Spaghetti Western” is exactly that - a film about Italian food and challenging the model of cinema created by men, putting food at the heart of the story.

Writer / director Jessica Fox plans to start filming in Spain in early 2026, and is looking for new funders.

Pictured at a disused western film set in Morningside, Edinburgh.

Musician Karine Polwart makes her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with “Windblown”, a poignant and tender theatrical tribute to plants, gardeners and grieving as part of the Made in Scotland Showcase 2025 - part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

“Windblown” focusses on a 200-year-old sabal palm tree - the longest-lived and most beloved plant in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh’s tropical palm house collection. And reflects on more than two centuries of containment, dislocation and human care, as the palm outgrew the 19th century glasshouse home and had to be cut down.

Made In Scotland Showcase 2025 programme was announced last week, see: www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com

Karine is pictured in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh with a sabal palm seedling, a ‘child’ of the original two centuries old sabal tree.
