A huge well done to DAY-TODAY DRYLAW & PREMIER MUIRHOUSE
They went out of their way to give five local schools some goodies for the primary 7 leavers last week (writes DEAN LOUGHTON).
yesterday morning was such a mad rush trying to get stock for the p7s at five local primary schools, we managed to get round the five schools with our donations and each school was overwhelmed with the donation – and so were the P7s!
As the goodies were being brought in to school there were some P7s floating around getting their tops signed but luckily enough they never spotted what was on the trolley!

We’ve been developing a Masterplan featuring 13 proposed improvement projects that aim to reimagine local streets and public spaces, making them healthier, more accessible, and nature-positive – while also tackling surface water and flooding challenges in the area.
We’re now at an exciting stage where we’d love to hear directly from the community. Your insights are essential in helping us understand which of these projects would bring the most value to local residents and in uncovering any additional opportunities we may have overlooked.
The Drylaw and Telford Masterplan is a key component of the Climate Ready Craigleith initiative, which itself forms part of the city’s broader Climate Ready Edinburgh strategy.
