'Largest event ever held in Orkney' opens as global competitors arrive
Some 2000 athletes from 24 island groups – including the Falklands, the Cayman Islands, Saaremaa in Estonia, and Åland in Finland – have journeyed to the Scottish archipelago for the 20th iteration of the games. Athletes will compete for medals in 12 sports: archery, athletics, badminton, bowls, cycling, football, golf, gymnastics, sailing, squash, swimming, and triathlon. The games will run until July 18 and are expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Orkney, which is said to be the smallest island group to ever host the event. Mascot Ola the Orca shows off the tartan for the games (Image: Ken Amer/Orkney 2025 International Island Games) The Scottish Government said it was the first of a series of high-profile sporting events being hosted in Scotland over the next few years, which include this weekend's Genesis Scottish Open, the 2026 Commonwealth Games, the 2027 Grand Départ of the Tour de France, the 2027 Open Championship, and the 2028 UEFA European football championships. Business Minister Richard Lochhead said: 'The Orkney Island Games represent a significant opportunity to drive economic growth and build a lasting legacy for people and businesses in Orkney and beyond. 'They also provide a taste of what is to come and illustrate our wider ambition to make sure every corner of Scotland benefits from the prestigious events we are increasingly able to attract.

Inside the plans for Glasgow's Baillieston's new community hub
Planners at Glasgow City Council are considering an application to create the centre in the north east corner of James Lindsay Memorial Park. Over £15m for the project was approved by councillors in February 2023, with cash secured from housing developers building in the area. (Image: A long-awaited new community hub for Baillieston) The hub would include a public library, multi-purpose hall, gym and multi-use games areas as well as children's play space and a public piazza, plans show. Glasgow Life, the council's culture and leisure arm, would run the venue, with 15 dedicated staff to be supported by the charity's wider team. The application states: 'The proposed new community hub in Baillieston is one of the largest infrastructure projects to impact on the east of the city in recent years and highlights the city's ongoing commitment to the health and wellbeing of its citizens. 'It will ensure that the planned expansion in residential development within the Baillieston, Carmyle, Broomhouse community growth area is complemented by investment in modern, accessible facilities that encourage residents and visitors alike to experience life affirming activities in a safe, family friendly environment.' It is hoped the hub will become a 'focal point where people can meet, participate, learn and relax', the plans add. The facility, which was first proposed more than a decade ago, is being funded through financial contributions provided as part of the Baillieston Broomhouse Carmyle Community Growth Area. Housebuilders signed up to legal agreements linked to planning applications within the area boundary. 'This is more than just a building; it is a vital, dynamic resource for Baillieston, one that encourages connection, engagement, and participation across all generations,' the application continues. 'Whether hosting educational workshops, social events, or recreational activities, the hub is designed to be a place where people can come together, form meaningful relationships, and contribute to the wellbeing of the community.' It adds: 'We are confident that this development will become a cornerstone of the community, bringing lasting, positive change and providing a facility that everyone can feel proud to be part of.'

The land, initially earmarked for housing, will 'no longer be used for this purpose' and is now in council ownership. Works to the wider park will be the subject of a separate planning application.

Rangers legend praises Beatson's new menu at Glasgow cafes
Tinderbox and Glasgow coffee roaster, Matthew Algie, have teamed up with the charity for the second year in a row to raise money for cancer patients and their families across Scotland. The cafe has expanded its menu this year, adding three new refreshing lemonades – cloudy lemonade, strawberry and cherry, and tropical – with 50p from each drink going to the charity. Tropical, cloudy and strawberry and cherry lemonades are available (Image: GT/Beatson Cancer Charity) The expansion follows the success of last year's tropical cooler, which saw almost 1,000 drinks sold. Sports stars have already tried out the new summer range, including former Rangers player and Scottish football figure Gordon Smith. Mr Smith said: "Beatson Cancer Charity, Tinderbox, and Matthew Algie are on to a winner with this – it's undoubtedly the drink of the summer. "I've been a long-time supporter of the Beatson Cancer Charity and all the amazing support they give to families in the West of Scotland. (Image: GT/Beatson Cancer Charity)"Initiatives like this are vital – they help raise awareness and much-needed funds for such an important cause." All the drinks are made with locally sourced ingredients, including those from Glasgow-based Matthew Algie. Carlo Ventisei, owner of Tinderbox, said: "After such a strong response to last summer's collaboration, we wanted to do even more. "The new menu is a way to offer variety while continuing to support a cause that means a great deal to our team and customers." Bella the Bee launching the new menu (Image: GT/Beatson Cancer Charity) Heilidh Wilson, corporate fundraiser at Beatson Cancer Charity, added: "We're delighted to be working with Tinderbox and Matthew Algie for a second year. "Last summer's response was incredible, and it's brilliant to see the collaboration grow. "Every drink sold helps us continue supporting people facing cancer across the west of Scotland – and we hope this expanded menu encourages even more people to get involved and support in a meaningful way." The lemonades will be available until the end of September at Tinderbox cafés in Byres Road, Charing Cross, Braehead, Princes Square, Glasgow Fort and Merchant City.
