:03:30. > :03:33.decided to go there. Auldhouse was the first place he went. There is a
:03:33. > :03:37.construction site in the village and he knew there would be a first aider

:05:09. > :05:13.it is rather like comparing apples with pairs. The essential issue is
:05:13. > :05:17.the fact that Scottish students do not pay tuition fees. There is a

:21:59. > :22:06.Berwick and offers all the buzz of the main festival without the
:22:06. > :22:10.crowds. They certainly know how to draw a crowd at the Edinburgh
:22:10. > :22:17.Festival Fringe, but sometimes amidst all the hustle and bustle you
:22:17. > :22:23.wish you were somewhere else entirely. Like here, on the beach at
:22:23. > :22:27.North Berwick, home to Fringe By The Sea. It began six years ago as an
:22:27. > :22:33.extension of the main fringe and it has grown into one of the best-known
:22:33. > :22:38.small festivals in the country. is a glorious place, so why should
:22:38. > :22:43.we not have some of the fun and excitement. That was the real idea.
:22:43. > :22:48.We thought that by the time a few visitors have had their two days of
:22:48. > :22:53.mayhem in Edinburgh, why would they not want to come down to a beautiful
:22:53. > :22:57.place like this and enjoy some of the top-quality entertainment?
:22:57. > :23:03.not just audiences who find the whole experience our breath of fresh
:23:03. > :23:08.air. It is lovely to get away, much as I enjoy Edinburgh, this is much
:23:08. > :23:14.more my kind of thing. Relaxing with fish and chips and ice cream by the
:23:14. > :23:21.sea. Its closeness its mutts bigger sister festival means there is no
:23:21. > :23:25.shortage of shows happy to play at both. I love enrol, but I love to
:23:25. > :23:33.play gigs elsewhere and I like to travel with the show. The weather
:23:33. > :23:43.has been brilliant. With just a week to cram it in, small is definitely
:23:43. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:54.There will be some sunshine, and this is Scotland, but it means you'd
:23:54. > :24:00.better pack your brolly! You will certainly have needed an umbrella
:24:00. > :24:04.this morning because it was rather wet and that was all thanks to this
:24:04. > :24:10.area of rain showing up on the satellite picture. Through the day,
:24:10. > :24:16.it has tended to fade away, 12-macro showers. Though they are at the
:24:16. > :24:21.moment. There are stretching down to the north-west. Generally for most
:24:21. > :24:26.of us, it will be a dry evening. Here is the map from 7pm, lovely
:24:26. > :24:31.late evening sunshine, the showers will fade away and it will be a dry
:24:31. > :24:34.night. We could see some mist and fog in the Glens and like last night
:24:35. > :24:39.it will be chilly in the countryside. The towns and cities
:24:39. > :24:43.will hold up into double digits. Tomorrow morning is dry and bright
:24:43. > :24:53.and we will lose mist and fog and there will be early morning sunshine
:24:53. > :24:59.
:24:59. > :25:02.in the West and heading towards lunchtime, one or two showers in
:25:02. > :25:04.eastern parts and then it will cloud over in the West as a weather front
:25:04. > :25:06.approaches. Why the afternoon, temperatures could be up to the high
:25:06. > :25:11.teens. In the West it will be cooler. Through parts of Hoechst --
:25:11. > :25:15.Perthshire, some sunshine in between the showers. The Highlands will
:25:15. > :25:19.cloud over and the role these sunshine in Orkney and Shetland.
:25:19. > :25:24.Heading towards tomorrow night, the weather front will work in from the
:25:24. > :25:28.West and we will see an increasingly southerly breeze. Heading overnight
:25:28. > :25:34.into Friday, there is the weather front working east across the
:25:34. > :25:37.country, a fairly damp night, but by Friday morning, it has moved towards
:25:38. > :25:42.the North Sea, lingering across the northern eyes for a time and behind
:25:42. > :25:52.it, sunshine and showers and that Breeze taking the edge of the
:25:52. > :25:59.
:25:59. > :26:01.temperatures. Into the weekend, some sunny spells and also a number of
:26:01. > :26:03.showers and temperatures close to average into the high teens. Thank
:26:03. > :26:05.you. Now a reminder of the main news. Lanarkshire farmhouse remained
:26:05. > :26:08.sealed off as a police investigation continues into a fatal shooting that
:26:08. > :26:11.led two men dead and another injured. Officers are at the farm in
:26:11. > :26:14.East Kilbride were yesterday father was shot dead, his son would did and
:26:14. > :26:17.third man also died. In a major departure from previous practice,
:26:17. > :26:22.the new governor of the Bank of England has signalled that record
:26:22. > :26:32.low interest rates could stay for years to come. Mark Carney said the
:26:32. > :26:52.
:26:52. > :26:54.bank would not consider raising the rate until unemployment falls to 7%,
:26:54. > :26:56.meaning creating three quarters of a million jobs. A record number of
:26:56. > :26:59.Scottish teenagers have a place at university, but there is disquiet
:26:59. > :27:01.over those who missed out and are using the clearing system. Hundreds

:27:03. > :27:06.England who described a 13-year-old victim of sex abuse as predatory has
:27:06. > :27:08.been told he will not work on other sexual offence cases. A 41-year-old
