ISSUE 274 OUT TOMORROW!

Submitted by Editor on

Talk about action-packed! 

The June Spurtle is out and about from tomorrow, positively bursting at the seams with local news. 

Page 1 sums up three major stories for north-east Edinburgh and contains not only a tiger but an astonishing 27 bullet points – more than appear in the King James Bible and complete works of Dickens combined. 

Page 2 kicks off with, um, three other major stories for north-east Edinburgh and an unlikely intervention from the President of the United States. 

It then takes scenic diversions through fashionable headwear, parking developments, artistic gains and losses, a stabbing and 60 years of wedded bliss.

If it’s foliage, ferocious faces and flames you’re after, Page 3 is the place for you. Here you’ll also find news of a new bookshop, a new restaurant, and a new reboundable thingummy-wotsit to trip over when crossing the road.

Planning and crime news conclude our coverage on Page 4, by which stage you’ll need a little lie-down while perusing our new advert. 

Basically, if it frustrates, frolics or farts anywhere between Pilrig and Howe Streets, Queen Street and Canonmills, you’ll read about it here first.

Pick up your black-and-haar copy from any of the usual outlets, or download a pdf in glorious summer colour from our website HERE after midnight tonight.
