LOCAL SCOUTS GO EXTRA MILE

Submitted by Editor on

Slightly beyond the western bounds of Spurtleshire, but distance was no object this weekend for Broughton’s Scouts (11th Troop).

They set out to de-jungle the Edinburgh AIDS/HIV Memorial that sits by the Water of Leith below the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. 

They also gave the bench a new coat of paint, cleared the plants surrounding it, and created a ‘bug city’ from the branches and off-cuts.

Well done also to Matt @positivehelp with Nicky Jeyes, John Wasyl Hawryluk, Owen Richards and Steve Irvine.

If you’re a Broughton-based group making a positive difference to this neighbourhood or anywhere else, please tell us about it at spurtle@hotmail.co.uk and @theSpurtle and Facebook
