Off the Rails, Glasgow
Off The Rails, which is independently operated and located next to the renovated Glasgow Queen Street Station, has opened this month to provide commuters with a much-needed caffeine fix.

The Tollhouse, Edinburgh
Last weekend, The Tollhouse, a new dining experience from the team behind Edinburgh's award-winning Dine restaurants, opened its doors in my neighbourhood – Canonmills. The upper level dining room on the Water of Leith bank seats 38 guests, while the private dining room on the lower level is an intimate environment for groups of up to 10.
The cocktail terrace offers views of a variety of wildlife to look out on, and the menu is inspired by the changing seasons and updated every two weeks.

KURRY-OK, Glasgow
This winter, a new Karaoke room with bar will open above popular Glasgow grab-and-go spot Katsu Glasgow. Although no specifics have been released, Katsu Glasgow's Instagram account teased the new rooms earlier this week, which has me VERY excited for a Curry/Karaoke night out in Glas-vegas!

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
