An Edinburgh gangster who was gunned down outside a pub had a £20,000 bounty on his head, underworld sources have claimed. Marc Webley was shot at about 11.50pm on Hogmanay outside the Anchor Inn, in the Granton area of the city. The 38-year-old was rushed to hospital but died later from a wound to his head after a balaclava-clad gunman ambushed him outside the bar and fired the fatal shot. Another man, aged 39, was also injured and is receiving treatment in hospital.

A Scottish firm has sparked outrage due to them selling reindeer shooting hunts during the Christmas period. The firm from Fife is run by Vernon Waters who refused to comment. As the Daily Record reports, he has been blasted by Animal rights campaigners for offering hunters the opportunities to kill the reindeer.
