    This year has been one characterised by pleasant surprises, but few have come more out of the blue than this cracking little restaurant inside a hotel on Edinburgh University grounds just off Salisbury Crags, says Richard Bath. It’s almost a year old, and is one of the best kept secrets in Edinburgh. The Scott Hotel is inside Edinburgh University’s Pollock Halls campus, just next to the Commonwealth Pool.

    My meal at Fallachan Kitchen was without a doubt, one of the most surreal and memorable meals of the many hundreds of reviews I’ve done over the past 25 years.

The labyrinthine building is so huge that it extends all the way down to the Grassmarket and Cowgate, which is where you’ll find the front entrance to Eve, the hotel’s new Italian restaurant.

This ridiculous judicial overreach bankrupted Birmingham and will wreak further damage unless addressed - it's time for the law to be urgently clarified or, if necessary, changed.

We all know that courts have too much power over our country's immigration policy. But increasingly they're also telling businesses exactly what to pay their workers. Sounds mad? That’s because it is. And it's going to destroy our economy. A 🧵 on the Equality Act: https://t.co/uSMW3eVoZ0
