A new charity shop dubbed a “Store of the Future” has opened at Straiton Retail Park in Midlothian. The British Heart Foundation shop is said to be the first of its kind in the UK. It’s made from recycled waste, including walls made from old CDs and bubble-wrap lampshades. Organisers say the outlet aims to cut down on the amount of materials which would normally go to landfill.

A St Ayles Skiff carefully crafted by a local charity has launched for the first time. ‘The Dochas’, an Irish word meaning hope, was made by hand by members of the Grassmarket Community Project, which supports people with experience of homelessness and poverty. The boat touched water for the first time following a whisky blessing and a guard of honour at the Newhaven Maritime Festival. Britain’s most decorated female Olympian, Dame Katherine Grainger, was there to welcome her onto the water.
