Inside Route 66-themed Edinburgh shed fighting to win Shed of the Year 2025
Summer is well and truly here, with the scorching hot temperatures sending even the bravest Scots seeking shade. But that doesn't mean hiding inside the house, especially if you are a shed enthusiast like Craig Paterson. The Edinburgh man has become a finalist in the 2025 Cuprinol Shed of the Year competition after converting his old brick outhouse into The Ticking Tappet, a Route 66-inspired shed that's perfect for entertaining. Shortlisted in the Best Pub/Entertainment category, the shed is largely used for social occasions – with 20 people even having packed themselves inside to welcome in the New Year – but can also serve as a work or study space. Made using recycled materials and with the help of Craig's dad and his 6-year-old son, The Ticking Tappet even has its own urinal and sink. Voting for Shed of the Year 2025 is now open, with the winner set to receive £1,000 in cash, a one-of-a-kind nature's getaway experience, and £250 worth of Cuprinol products. Have a look inside The Ticking Tappet to see if the Edinburgh shed has what it takes. 1 . A look inside The Ticking Tappet Craig Paterson / Cuprinol Shed of the Year 2025 Photo Sales 2 .

Rangers help La Liga side with special Ibrox photoshoot
CA Osasuna have released footage and still images of a recent photoshoot which took place at the Scottish Premiership giants' stadium. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Spanish outfit's first-ever game in a European competition, which was against Rangers in the UEFA Cup back in 1985, Osasuna ventured to Glasgow to release their new kit. Manufactured by Macron, the all-red kit sports a retro look, with a polo collar. It is described as 'vibrant red, a powerful symbol of the Spanish autonomous community'. A video, widely shared on the club's social media sites, shows a man and a woman arriving in Glasgow from Spain, walking through Glasgow Central Station, while arriving at Ibrox and the home dressing room. The match that inspired the kit took place at Ibrox in September 1985. Rangers won the first leg 1-0, thanks to a goal by Craig Paterson. The likes of Ally McCoist and Davie Cooper were also in the side. Jock Wallace was the manager at the time. Osasuna had the last laugh, though, as they won the return leg 2-0 in Pamplona, emerging victorious on aggregate to knock Rangers out.
