Scotland's most beautiful cities crowned as one with 'rich history' tops list
Three destinations across the country were singled out. Scotland's "most beautiful" cities have been named in a new roundup. An iconic settlement with a "rich history" came in at number one on the list. Across Scotland, there are eight cities. Each one has something unique to offer, and when it comes to a day out you can't go wrong with any of them. On July 4, EnVols shared a list of the "most beautiful" cities in Scotland. A total of three cities are included on the experts' roundup. Placing first on EnVols' list is Edinburgh. The Scottish capital was praised for its "rich history and the gothic architecture". Edinburgh is the second most populous city in Scotland, home to approximately 505,000 people. It is renowned for its culture and many attractions. One of the destinations in the city praised by EnVols is Edinburgh Castle, which dates back centuries. Dominating the city's skyline, the castle includes highlights such as St Margaret's Chapel and the Great Hall. The experts also singled out the Royal Mile, which is comprised of a series of historic streets that together form the main thoroughfare of Edinburgh's Old Town. During the Edinburgh Fringe in August, the Royal Mile hosts hundreds of street performers offering free entertainment. EnVols commented: "Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and situated in the centre of the country. It is celebrated for its rich history and the gothic architecture of its Old Town. "Notably, it boasts Edinburgh Castle, which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated on the top of a dormant volcano, it is a popular tourist destination. "Among its other noteworthy attractions are the Royal Mile, a famous street with shops and restaurants on each side, where J.K. Rowling was inspired to write the Harry Potter novels, and particularly where she drew inspiration for the fictional location of Diagon Alley." Following behind in second place on the experts' list of Scotland's top cities is Glasgow. The biggest city in the country was noted for being "lively and metropolitan". Glasgow is famed for its culture, featuring countless iconic music venues such as The Barrowland Ballroom, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, and the Sub Club. It is also home to the Scottish Ballet, The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, and the Theatre Royal Glasgow. EnVols praised the city's art scene, singling out Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Glasgow School of Art. The former is among Scotland's most popular free attractions and houses one of Europe's top art collections. Finally, the experts named Dunfermline as the third "most beautiful" city in Scotland. Situated in Fife, Dunfermline is the country's newest city—receiving the status in 2022. Among the attractions in Dunfermline that were praised by EnVols are Dunfermline Abbey and Pittencrieff Park. Dunfermline Abbey is where some of Scotland's most iconic medieval monarchs were laid to rest, while Pittencrieff Park is a public park covering 76 acres that offers everything from children's playgrounds to woodland walks.

'In the back of my head while I was playing, I was sad as everyone is in Portugal. I had to play the game. I had to focus on my game. I'm sad, of course.' What we know so far: Cabral added that he was hoping someone could arrange a "black strip" for him to wear today. The Porto-born star said it would make him "very, very happy to do it". Wimbledon chiefs gave players permission to wear black armbands in tribute to the footballer. That is despite the tournament's strict all-white dress code. Jota passed away alongside his brother Andre Silva, 25, when the tyre on their Lamborghini suddenly burst in northern Spain. They were on their way to catch a ferry back to the UK as the Premier League winner could not fly due to recently undergoing lung surgery.

22 baby names dying out in 2025
These names are not so trendy any more Naming a baby isn't easy - especially if your due date is drawing near and you're feeling under pressure. Thankfully, there are name sites dedicated to this exact conundrum to help parents make the right choice. But before you pick anything, did you know there are names that could be dying out in popularity - and very soon? Each year, BabyCenter highlights the most popular baby names, but what about the names that aren't so trendy? Looking at names which have dropped off within the last year, they spotted the beginning of the end for "-aden" boy names like Jaden and Kaden. They also noted that royal names have taken a step back. In their research, they said: "Catherine, Anne, Phillip, Albert, and Edward – all names of British royal family members in recent history – each tumbled more than 100 spots. Catherine took the biggest fall, though, dropping 221 spots." The naming experts further share that 80s and 90s names are falling off the charts with 'nickname' names instead growing in popularity. This refers to names such as Lexi, for Alexandra, and Archie for Archibald - son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Girl names at risk of going extinct These girl names saw the steepest decline from 2023 to 2024: Jamie (down 320) Katie (down 290) Remy (down 277) Liv (down 257) Analia (down 245) Karina (down 243) Belle (down 242) Erin (down 231) Bristol (down 230) Lilia (down 230) Catherine (down 221) Boy names at risk of going extinct These boy names saw the steepest decline from 2023 to 2024: Jamal (down 433) Esteban (down 283) Cannon (down 268) Emery (down 241) Taylor (down 199) Kareem (down 193) Idris (down 187) Camilo (down 185) Matthias (down 179) Danny (down 176) Aziz (down 170) For anyone keen on Royal names, Anne came in at the 15th spot for going extinct. meanwhile for boys, Louie came in 12th place, Philip in 15th followed by Albert in 16th and Edward at number 20.
