Hibs highlight: Football fans of a certain vintage might be interested to hear of an event taking place in Leith this Saturday morning.
Hibs legend Pat Stanton will be in attendance as club sponsor Utilita Energy opens its new energy hub on Newkirkgate, where it plans to offer advice for bill payers on how to use their power more efficiently.
“We are here for anyone who wants to make the energy they pay for go further,” said Utilita boss Bill Bullen.
Perhaps more interestingly for Hibs supporters, former captain Stanton, who led the Edinburgh side to League Cup glory in 1972, will be on hand for signings too.
Musical note: Enjoying a stroll through the attractive thoroughfares of Berwick-upon-Tweed last weekend, we stumbled across this amusing, temporary shop sign.
The Bottom Line could not be sure whether there really was a pantomime taking place in the Northumberland town, or indeed anywhere across the UK at the fag end of January.
But staff at the Music Shop on Bridge Street do deserve some recognition for the attempt to cheer up passersby.
It certainly worked for this observer, whose first reaction was to think: oh no they have not!
Media mover: On the move in the Scottish media this week is Kim McAllister, the freelance business journalist and occasional contributor to The Herald.
Ms McAllister has sold her communications consultancy Impact Online to Connect, the Paisley-based publisher.
The deal results in her joining Connect as senior communications consultant, though Ms McAllister will continue her freelance work.
“It really is a dream job for me,” she said.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
