Retrofit at Brunstane school
Contractor GRAHAM says it has completed the first stage of a £10 million retrofit of Brunstane Primary School in Edinburgh for The City of Edinburgh Council, marking a major step in transforming the building into one of the city’s “most sustainable education facilities”.

Deborah Lee, principal teacher at Brunstane Primary School, said: “The new classrooms are a positive step forward, bringing P3-P7 learners back under one roof where they can truly make the new classrooms their own, creating a sense of pride and shared respect for the space.

Stone Bone and Linen at Dundas Street Gallery
Three artists from Dumfries are bringing their work to the Dundas Gallery from 17 September in a new exhibition called Stone, Bone and Linen.
The unusual title reflects their separate fields of expertise – and the exhibition is an expression of their friendship as well as their art.
Minette Bell Macdonald, Mishi Bellamy and Silvy Weatherall are all individual artists who are combining their art in a city exhibition. They plan to be at the gallery every day to show and discuss their work.
