Readers' Letters: Lack of variety and quality among Royal Mile shops shames capital
The Royal Mile in Edinburgh is heaving with identikit shops selling 'tourist tat' (Picture: Lisa Ferguson) Walking the Royal Mile is a depresing experience, believes reader Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... As an Edinburgh Festival Voluntary Guide I thought that I knew a fair bit about our Royal Mile. While I was aware there were a fair number of tourist gift shops, I was staggered to learn there are in fact 72 in total from the Castle down to the Palace. Walking Festival visitors down the Royal Mile, I am regularly having to apologise to them for the lack of quality gift shops. What is on offer is invariably cheap, tacky 'Scottish souvenirs', most of which will most certainly not have been made here in Scotland. What a chance lost to showcase the best of Scotland when it comes to quality products. Does the council have any idea how they have let the city – and Scotland – down by allowing this state of affairs to have happened? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Compare the Royal Mile with Karuizawa, a tourist centre near Nagano in the Japanese Alps which my wife and I visited in March. It was an absolute delight to walk along the town's main shopping street. Some 150 outlets showcased the best of local products and produce. The attractive shopfronts displayed ceramics, pottery, textiles, leatherwork, clothing, artwork, local food and drink and high-quality Japanese souvenirs. And there was not a McDonalds, KFC or Starbucks to be seen, just excellent cafes with delicious home baking to be enjoyed. Thankfully, this failure on the part of Edinburgh is not repeated to the same degree elsewhere in Scotland. While the Brigadoon bric-a-brac can be seen, in towns such as Peebles you will find high-quality Scottish products for sale. Edinburgh must surely up its game and promote the best of Scotland. Eric Melvin, Edinburgh Poll closed Clearly, John Swinney has a very odd idea of how things work constitutionally in the UK. He seems to think that his party only needs to get the largest number of seats and – hey, presto! – he can demand a second referendum on independence. However, the 'once in a lifetime' referendum held in 2014 was only permitted because David Cameron allowed it. As the Government of the UK, Westminster is in charge of all such matters as referenda. The number held has been very small and none have been on the same subject twice. One might ask why they should be – if you ask a constitutional question and you get an answer, your problem has been solved. When the UK was asked if voters wanted to join the EEC, they answered and membership was confirmed. When that entity changed to the EU, to which the UK's voters had not agreed to join, the vote was to leave and we duly left. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As Scottish voters decided to remain in the UK by a substantial margin of almost 24 per cent more votes than voted to leave, there is no reason to revisit the subject. After all, in the unlikely event he was allowed a second referendum, I doubt if Mr Swinney would guarantee to hold a further referendum on rejoining the remaining UK within 11 years if he won it, would he? Maybe we should ask? Sauce for the goose? John Fraser, Glasgow Natural gasbag? Donald Trump's dismissive remarks about Scottish wind energy are out of step with the facts and counterproductive for the nation's energy future. Wind power can be one of the cheapest and cleanest forms of energy available, powering millions of homes and supporting thousands of jobs across Scotland and the wider UK. Meanwhile, the North Sea is running out of gas. By 2027, the UK will no longer extract enough gas to meet national heating demands, even if all proposed new fields are approved. Analysis of official data shows just 14 per cent of the basin's original gas reserves remain commercially viable, meaning there is no potential for a long-term energy strategy driven by fossil fuels. No amount of bluster can mask the declining economics of fossil fuels. Trump's rhetoric ignores spiralling energy bills, geopolitical risks of import dependence, and the urgent climate crisis. Denigrating renewable energy while denying the facts is not just misleading, it's dangerous. Simon Francis, End Fuel Poverty Coalition Coordinator, Edinburgh Shattered idyll Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Visitor Martin O'Gorman (Letters, 29 July) writes admiringly of the Isle of Man's unspoiled landscape and absence of wind turbines – and indeed, many of us here on the island deeply value that same beauty, but I must gently correct the impression tranquillity is guaranteed. Communities in the south of the island are now fighting to prevent the industrialisation of some of our last remaining peatlands, upland habitats and wild open spaces. A 185-metre-tall wind farm – known as Cair Vie (ironically, 'Fair Wind' in Manx Gaelic) – is proposed by the Manx Utilities Authority for the very hills above our peaceful villages. These are areas of immense cultural, ecological and historical significance, where hen harriers and other vulnerable species breed undisturbed. Our community is working to protect this fragile biosphere from poorly sited industrial developments that threaten the very ecosystems we must preserve if climate action is to mean anything. Peatland is not wasteland – it stores vast amounts of carbon and supports rare biodiversity. Once damaged, it cannot be restored overnight. We are immensely grateful to visitors who appreciate our stunning landscape – but please know that its beauty endures not by accident, but via constant vigilance and community resolve. As custodians of this landscape, we all have a responsibility to defend it for future generations. We send solidarity to all in Scotland facing similar battles, may you endure, as we will. Kirrie Jenkins, Ballagreney, Colby, Isle of Man Learn to move on Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It is right that we look to history to inform and perhaps to learn lessons from the outcomes of various decisions that impacted on where we are today. One lesson should be that we cannot change what happened in the past and events that occurred happened due to particular circumstances that shaped long-gone decisions. However, whatever the misdeed as viewed by today's standards it has to be remembered that perhaps a century or two have passed and myriad events have impacted on the original sin, as it were, making it impossible to judge whether the original sin continued to be a negative experience moving forward through the years. My point is, it is totally wrong to review historical events in isolation, for example, using slavery as a stick with which to beat modern, western man. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Yes, viewed within the prism of a single happening it was wrong that tribal chiefs could sell people to others, as it was wrong for plantation owners to purchase them to work the fields of cotton or other crops. But at the time this was not considered an evil but a necessity, rather a harsh one but 'lesser' individuals were considered expendable, to be used until they were no longer able to be useful; then they were abandoned. Fortunately, modern times have substituted the rule of law rather than the dictate or whim of an individual ruler and there is now, for most of us 'lesser' beings, the feeling that we have some control over our lives, albeit at times this is an illusion of faith over fact! Given that, we now need to move on from historical misdeeds. What is really important is tomorrow and the future. By all means learn the lessons but use them to inform present day decisions and hopefully provide for a better future. The past was yesterday learn from it! A Lewis, Coylton, Ayrshire No end to suffering Earlier this month it was the 40th anniversary of the amazing Live Aid concerts in both London and Philadelphia.

T West, Dumfries Spine tingling Nicola Sturgeon has just received an advance copy of her new book from her publisher and she was 'close to tears' with excitement. It has been a dream of hers to have her own name on her own book... but hold on, being a politician, all is not quite what it seems. Ms Sturgeon had a book out in 2021, containing her speeches. While she did not actually write the book, only the speeches, her name is prominently displayed on the cover, the writer, less so. Ms Sturgeon might not be too happy with her sales of this book, as currently it is 1,424,036th on the Kindle best selling list. Will she be taking a cue from JK Rowling by having the bookshops open at midnight on the first day of issue, 14 August, for the sales rush? Gerald Edwards, Glasgow Write to The Scotsman

Review: Coastal Adventures on Channel 5 is a feast for the eyes
**** IF there is one thing television doesn't need, it is more celebrities going on holiday. But in the case of presenters Helen Skelton, Jules Hudson and JB Gill we can make an exception. The farming and outdoors trio are so often up at horrible o'clock in awful weather it seems churlish to deny them some sand between their toes, or the stench of a prison in their nostrils (to be explained). Particularly if they are as complimentary about Scotland as they are here. Helen started the ball rolling with a video selfie on the beach. 'Have a look at this,' she said, panning the camera across the scene. 'It looks almost tropical, but I'm not in the southern hemisphere, I'm just north of the Scottish border in Dumfries and Galloway.' The coastline was close to where she had lived and worked for years in Cumbria, yet she never thought of it as a holiday area because it was on her doorstep. Not any more. 'This is landscape that rivals the kind of thing you would go to New Zealand for.' Read more While she headed for Bainloch Deer Park and JB was dispatched to the Suffolk coast, Jules was shown around HMP Peterhead by someone who had worked there for 27 years. The former guard could still remember the smell of the chamber pots waiting to be emptied when he arrived to start his shift. The scene was described so vividly I could almost smell them myself, and I fear Jules was the same. The prison was defunct, and had been since 2013, but not defunked. The banners from the 1980s riots, hung on the walls, told their own story. It was a fascinating if grim tour, with the prison, dubbed 'Scotland's toughest jail', not changed much since it was built in the Victorian era. If misery has a smell that must have been evident too. Helen took an SUV tour of the 860-acre deer park. All the animals, some 600 of them, were brought to the park, some after road accidents. 'I've never been close to a deer,' said Helen. 'I don't know why but it makes me quite emotional.' That's the second presenter in a week to be moved to tears, after Rob Rinder was overcome with the majesty of Glenapp Castle in Amazing Hotels: Life beyond the Lobby. Is it something in the water? She was sent to look for an antler to take home as a souvenir, a task she thought akin to being asked for a tin of tartan paint, but she soon found one. In Johnshaven in Aberdeenshire, home to The Lobster Shop, Jules was trying lobster for the first time. 'Delicious,' he said, demolishing the stuffed roll in a few bites. Helen had the last word. 'The most perfect landscape,' she said, looking out to sea. 'I can try to think of something profound to say but I don't think words do this justice.' This lot can come again.

I'm obsessed with snorkelling in Scotland: starfish below, sea eagles overhead – and it really isn't that cold
People always ask me: isn't it too cold to snorkel in Scotland? And I reply that while it's obviously much cooler than it would be in Spain, the sea does warm up from May, when the temperature rises from about 9C to as high as 12-15C by August and September. I go snorkelling in Scotland all year round. I work for the Scottish Wildlife Trust, developing snorkel trails on the Scottish coast and creating guides to the places you can go to enjoy snorkelling in a particular area. But even so, the Wildlife Trust always recommends wearing a wetsuit. In the UK, we sometimes think that to connect with nature you have to go to really exotic, faraway places and spend a lot of money. But actually, it can be more effective to connect with the local marine life on your doorstep. Snorkelling doesn't cost much money or require a great deal of training. It's one of the most accessible sports to enjoy in the sea: some of the best snorkelling I've ever done has been in water I could stand up in. It's also a very sociable activity because you should never snorkel alone. You should always have a buddy (and ideally a mug of hot chocolate waiting for you afterwards). One of my favourite snorkelling experiences is swimming over a kelp forest, which are prevalent around Scotland. You see these beautiful, golden fronds of kelp undulating with the waves, which are home to an incredible amount of small fish, colourful beadlet and dahlia anemones, starfish and brittle stars. Sometimes, you can even see them catching prey. Another time, I saw a huge show of sand eels beneath me. Then I put my head up and saw some seals on the beach and a pod of dolphins in the sea, coming over to say hello – right at that moment, some sea eagles flew low over our heads. When I talk to my colleagues in other European countries about snorkelling, they often talk about the overcrowding caused by tourism and how that is a hugely challenging part of their job. I feel very fortunate that in Scotland, we don't have that same strain on many of our natural places. Having said that, I've noticed snorkelling in Scotland has increased a lot in popularity since the pandemic, and coastal communities are leading the way in championing that. I think people are realising that it's an amazing thing to do for yourself for health reasons – mental and physical – but also for society, because it can remind you that the sea is an extraordinary place where nature is in decline. Hopefully that inspires more people to protect it. Research also suggests that cold water immersion can have physiological and emotional benefits. I find, when I get into the water, the coolness takes away all my worries and anything that was niggling away at me in my mind. Finally, there's so much cultural history in Scotland tied to the sea and coastal communities. Sometimes, you might be snorkelling below a castle or through sea caves or a harbour – you gain an understanding of the connection between people and the sea over time. The Scottish Wildlife Trust's latest project, Sea the connection, aims to reduce barriers some people face when connecting with the sea. As told to Donna Ferguson
