Police Scotland has released images of six males officers believe can assist with ongoing enquiries into a serious assault in Edinburgh.

On Saturday, 26 and Sunday, 27 September, The Cockburn Association will host the Edinburgh and East Lothian Doors Open Days weekend.
Doors Open Days is a free festival offering access to spaces of historic, cultural, architectural and community interest which are normally ticketed or not accessible to the public.
As Scotland's oldest conservation charity, The Cockburn feels particularly energised by this year’s theme of ‘Heritage at Risk: Revive, Resist, Reimagine’.
