Inside the spectacular, and vertigo-inducing, Edinburgh International Climbing Arena near Ratho, west of Edinburgh: unlike anything else you've ever seen before outside the set of a James Bond film. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The Edinburgh International Climbing Arena. The image shows a view down into a huge area that started life as a quarry though part of the roof can now be seen at the top of the frame. Many of the rock walls of the quarry have been covered by climbing walls and there are large artificial rocks in the centre of the space and the scale of the place can be appreciated by the tiny size of the people climbing.

Students surf the waves in a Student Supertaster
Hundreds of students went to the Lost Shore Surf Resort at Ratho for the start of the new surf season Around 400 students took to the water at Lost Shore Surf Resort on Wednesday as university surf clubs from across Scotland gathered for one of the country's biggest student surfing events. The Student Supertaster event marks the launch of Lost Shore's Uni Surf Club Programme for the new academic year. The programme attracted more than 500 student members last year, giving students of all abilities a regular place to surf, improve and socialise with their club throughout term time.

The view from my window last night looking west over Merchiston.
Slanted sunbeams. There's a glimmer of sunshine on the horizon at the right of the picture. Its location is near Ratho and Wilkieston.

The Rich Can Have Other Toys: Baby Orangutans and the Wildlife Trade
Subrat Ratho reflects on five baby orangutans found in Odisha and asks what the case tells us about wildlife trafficking, exotic animals and wealth-driven demand.

"A wild animal is not a luxury. It is not a status symbol. And it should never become another toy for the affluent, valued for its rarity or the prestige it confers rather than for what it is—a living creature with a life and a place of its own."

Ratho (and the climbing arena and surfing centre) finally has a direct bus to Edinburgh! I don't live in Ratho anymore but I am still very excited that this has happened.

It's just economics. The more private wealth, the less public wealth and the less we benefit. Community, municipal, and public ownership is how we take our power back.
The image features three wind turbines in a field with text emphasizing that less than 1% of Scottish onshore wind farms are owned by the Scottish public. It mentions that offshore wind ownership is also primarily non-domestic. The image questions why ownership matters. A business meeting setting with people seated at a table. A presentation screen displays the text: "Corporate Ownership, Corporate Profits." Below, it states that between 2019-2024, Scotland lost £5.6 billion in profits from onshore wind. An arrow points to individuals, suggesting they are linked to the profits. A historical portrait of James Maitland, the 8th Earl of Lauderdale, is shown. The text emphasizes that increased private ownership reduces public wealth, known as the Lauderdale Paradox. An arrow points to Maitland, noting he is the paradox’s namesake and was born in Ratho. A poster promoting wind power and public ownership. The text reads, "Public ownership is how we take our power back. Community, municipal, and public ownership of wind puts the power and their benefits back in the hands of the people." Below the text, there are illustrations of wind turbines. The web address "ourpower.scot/take-action" is at the bottom.

Do Ratho Coaches have some sort of special exemption from the thing about not needlessly leaving their engines running whilst parked at the side of Johnston Terrace whilst the Tattoo is on?

Jeez...Waterloo Pl-Haymarket in 10 minutes. It then takes another 36 minutes to reach the Ratho terminus.

Clearly Ratho needs bus lanes on every road in the village.

It was great to see Edinburgh and Not Edinburgh sort of pretending to be Edinburgh (the climbing arena is in Ratho, where I lived for a while. I used to get a coffee most days from the coffee shop inside it).

Integrated ticketing is a fair point. But Lothian’s available vehicles make supported services more expensive. For Ratho, I’d rather have an affordable direct bus to Edinburgh for one fare each way with another operator than no direct service. Currently, fare-paying passengers need to connect anyway

Ahh specifically to the EICA! I was confused why we were celebrating a bus to Ratho village once an hour.

Good news!

🚌 Great news for Ratho!

From 31 August, a new six-month trial bus service will connect Ratho directly with Edinburgh city centre, running hourly, seven days a week.

A huge thank you to the local community who have fought hard for better bus links.

Now let’s get on board and make it a success! 🚌

Just heard that my Uncle-in-law, who lives in Ratho & works on Jane St, has had his commute turn from 1 hour into 2 hours with the loss of the tram.

A bit shocking.
