The museum's on the tram!
The National Museum of Scotland invites you to take the tram around Edinburgh – but particularly the Museum Tram as they have commissioned a wrap both inside and out turning one of the trams into a moving source of facts about the museum. The moving museum will travel through the city for the next two years, introducing passengers to some of the best-loved objects from the National Collection and giving them a taste of what it's like to visit the National Museum of Scotland. Patsy Convery, Head of Marketing and Communications at National Museums Scotland told us about the idea behind the latest marketing venture. She said: 'We have over 25,000 objects on display at the National Museum – and what we really wanted to do was to show the breadth of the treasures that we have in there. We have items here that are from Scottish history, the natural world, from Art and Design, science and technology, and also global cultures. And what we want to do is to inspire people to find out a little bit more about the collection, but also to visit and hear more about the stories that they can tell. 'It's the first museum wrap. But we wanted to do more than just wrap the tram – we wanted it to be an experience in itself, and that's why we're inviting people to step inside as though they're visiting the museum up on Chamber Street' Sarah Singh, Head of Service Delivery at Edinburgh Trams, said: 'We're delighted to have the National Museum of Scotland represented on one of our trams for the next two years. The museum offers an incredible space for exploring Scotland's history and place in the world in a meaningful way, and we're proud to offer some small extension of that. Look out for a 3,000-year-old toy mouse and a Saltire which has been to space – some of our favourite additions to the design!' A short walk from the Princes Street tram stop, the National Museum of Scotland attracts over 2.3 million visitors each year. It is Scotland's most-visited attraction and the most popular museum in the UK outside London. The museum is currently staging the world's biggest exhibition of primate behaviour, Monkeys: Our Primate Family and hosts a programme of seasonal events and activities.

Bombay café Dishoom confirms first Glasgow location ahead of opening next month
Expect much-loved dishes - from Bacon Naan Rolls to House Black Daal - that have won fans across the UK One of the UK's best-loved restaurants is finally opening in Glasgow next month with plans to bring their iconic dishes to Scotland's biggest city. Dishoom will open the doors to its long-awaited Glasgow café on Friday, August 29. Taking over a 7,000 sq ft Grade A listed building on Nelson Mandela Place, once home to the city's stock exchange, this will be Dishoom's second Scottish location following the Edinburgh café, a firm favourite since opening in 2017. Each Dishoom restaurant begins with a story, grounding its design in a specific moment from Bombay's history or culture. In Glasgow, the look is rooted in a fictional narrative centred around Miss X. Miss X, the story goes, is a former covert agent from Bombay, who now runs a bustling Irani café at the bottom of the Glasgow Stock Exchange. The restaurant will be open from morning to night, with a menu that captures the spirit and soul of Bombay's cafés, grills, street stalls and homes. Chef Arun Tilak, Dishoom's Executive Chef and part of the team since 2012 where he began his journey as Head Chef at Dishoom Covent Garden, said: "Bringing Dishoom to Glasgow has long been a dream of ours. "The team has worked hard to create a space and a menu that feels authentic to Bombay while celebrating the character of Glasgow and the heritage of its South Asian community. We cannot wait to welcome our first guests through the door for shared stories and leisurely feasts." And Glasgow diners will be doing good with every visit. As part of Dishoom's Meal for a Meal initiative, for every meal enjoyed, a meal will be donated to a child who might otherwise go without. This will happen through partnerships with Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation in India. To date, more than 20 million meals have been given through Dishoom's 10 other UK cafés in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham and Manchester. Just last year, food experts divulged their favourite restaurants to have brunch to The Times. Among the spots featured was Dishoom. Stuart Ralston, the chef-patron of Aizle, said it was a '"really good" breakfast and Dishoom was the only chain restaurant he'll visit in Edinburgh. Stuart also commended its quick service and popular bacon naan. Wondering when you can pay a visit? Reservations will be available for breakfast and lunch, and for groups of six or more at dinner. Walk-ins are welcome at any time. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Oasis are set to play three sold out gigs at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12, with tens of thousands of fans set to attend each performance. The summer dates will go ahead when the capital is already packed with residents and tourists during the Edinburgh festival period. Murrayfield has released a list of items which are banned from the stadium during the gigs, including large bags, food and drink, and vapes.
