Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said: 'We know Orlando is a bit of a bucket-list destination, so this is fantastic news for families in Scotland who have long wanted to experience everything Florida has to offer.
'The additional frequencies offer more options to our passengers and makes it even easier to leave Edinburgh in the morning and be arguing with your family in a Florida rental car by dinner time!
'We're excited to see Virgin Atlantic grows its presence at Edinburgh Airport and is another show of confidence in the market and its home in Scotland.'
This expansion will see three flights a week from Edinburgh, further securing Edinburgh Airport as Virgin Atlantic's home in Scotland.
Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer, Virgin Atlantic, added: 'Orlando has long been one of Virgin Atlantic's top destinations, with thousands of Brits flocking to Florida every year for the warming climates and thrilling attractions, including the recent opening of Epic Universe.
" I'm delighted that our Scottish guests can soak up even more of the action with the extension of our Orlando flying programme this summer.'

Research finds pipe band participation can help close the attainment gap
A ten-year study of high school pupils found that those in the pipe band achieved more qualifications than the national average. The difference was particularly significant for pipe-playing pupils from the most deprived areas: 40% attained one or more Advanced Highers, compared to 10.5% nationally. Researchers from the Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust (SSPDT) and Preston Lodge High School in East Lothian tracked attainment statistics for 78 Preston Lodge pupils between 2014 and 2024. The results showed that students in the pipe band achieved more qualifications and had better overall outcomes than their peers. According to the study, 52% of pipe band members attained five or more Highers, compared to 39% nationally and 27% at Preston Lodge; 41% left school with one or more Advanced Highers, compared to 18.7% nationally.

The index uses income, employment, education, health, access to services, crime and housing to assess deprivation and is typically split across five quintiles from most deprived (SIMD 1) to least deprived (SIMD 5). Results from the Preston Lodge study found that 45% of pipe band pupils from the most deprived areas left with three or more Highers, compared to 38.2% nationally. The difference was greater at Advanced Higher level, where 40% of pipe band pupils earned at least one qualification compared to 10.5% nationally. Preston Lodge was one of the first schools in Scotland to take part in the Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust (SSPDT) pipe band programme, which provides grants, free instrument loans, internships and other opportunities to make music tuition more accessible. Preston Lodge Head Teacher Gavin Clark said that the impact of piping at the school is 'impossible to overestimate.' 'Our Pipe Band has grown significantly over the past two decades from a tentative group of new players in 2007, into the flourishing figurehead of our school and its community it is today. 'While we've always known that our young people of all ages and abilities, across the primary and secondary sector, have benefited immeasurably from the skill development and self-esteem building that piping and drumming can provide; we now have evidence which indicates that pipe band participation has also had a significant impact on their attainment at school.' There are 100 members across the school's three bands, with another 100 connected pupils at its feeder primaries. In response to the study, many alumni said that the findings reflected their own experiences of being in the pipe band. High school teacher and former band member Hannah Yorkston said that being in the band helped her form relationships and provided an outlet that increased her confidence away from schoolwork. Kerilee Doran echoed this, saying that the band served as a place of respite for students from all walks of life. 'What made it special was the way that we all worked together and got along, regardless of our background. 'It was looked at as a place where many could escape from anything that was going on at home and just have fun and really enjoy what you were doing.' Jordan Smith added that the musical skills he learned were far outweighed by the relationships he made. 'The band is simultaneously a friendship group, a learning experience, a safe space and support network, a chance to travel, an outlet for emotion, a self-discipline builder and a music group. 'The camaraderie and enthusiasm that the whole band shared for playing with each other, bringing together people with a variety of backgrounds to do so, is an experience I was incalculably lucky to be part of.' SSPDT Chief Executive Lindsay MacKenzie said that the Preston Lodge study could lead to changes in education policy and new ideas for making school more accessible to pupils from all backgrounds. 'While previous research has linked learning an instrument to academic achievement, such opportunities are more easily accessible to affluent students. However, this study demonstrates that pipe band membership attracts and retains students from all socio-economic backgrounds, including the most deprived areas. 'Crucially, the findings suggest that students who remain in a pipe band programme for an extended period show significantly higher attainment levels across all SIMD groups when compared to national averages. 'This evidence supports the idea that structured, well-resourced musical engagement – specifically within pipe bands – can provide a powerful tool for educational equity.' Ms MacKenzie added that more schools and music tutors across Scotland should try to replicate the study and improve 'This study provides strong indications that our investment in school pipe bands is delivering real educational benefits. 'While this is not a large-scale study, its decade-long scope and consistency in findings suggest a significant impact that could be replicated across Scotland.'

Met Office maps show Storm Floris weather warnings as 90mph winds hit UK
Storm Floris has arrived in the UK, with strong winds and rain across northern England and Scotland on Monday. The UK has been battered by 90mph winds as weather warnings are in force after the arrival of Storm Floris. A Met Office amber weather warning for wind is in place until 10pm on Monday (4 August) across central and northern Scotland, while a less severe yellow warning lasts until 6am on Tuesday (5 August) and covers the north of England and Northern Ireland. A separate yellow warning for wind for the Orkney and Shetland islands of Scotland begins at midnight and lasts until 8am on Tuesday. On Monday morning, Network Rail Scotland said winds had reached speeds of 90mph in the west of the country as Floris caused widespread travel disruption, with passengers later warned disruption to the rail network is likely to continue into Tuesday. A number of camper vans were blown over by gusts on the A87 road between Broadford and Portreee on the Isle of Skye, while the A96 in Aberdeenshire was closed in both directions after a number of trees fell near Old Rayne between Huntly and Inverurie due to several fallen trees. ScotRail advised anyone with garden equipment such as trampolines to keep them secure so they don't blow on to railway tracks. Met Office chief meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: 'Across the warning area, many inland areas are likely to see gusts of 40 to 50mph, with 60 to 70mph more likely at higher elevations and around exposed coasts in Scotland." He said there was as small chance some locations could record gusts of 85mph. The warning zone covers Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and the north of England. The Met Office warned of the risk of injuries and danger to life from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties, as well as the potential for damage to trees and buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs. Travel disruption likely Train operator LNER told passengers not to travel north of Newcastle on Monday and Avanti West Coast has advised passengers not to travel north of Preston, warning it will be 'heavily impacted' by the weather. Several rail lines have been closed since midday on Monday, with all other routes experiencing a reduced timetable and longer journey times, Network Rail said. Edinburgh – Fife/Perth/Dundee, Perth – Dundee/Aberdeen/Inverness and the West Highland Line are among the routes that closed at noon. Ferry operator CalMac has also issued a series of cancellations ahead of the storm. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo said it had cancelled its Monday show due to the storm. Scottish justice secretary Angela Constance told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland news programme: 'Storm Floris is well and truly with us today and it's imperative that people follow advice because there will be significant disruption on our travel network.' She said anyone who has to travel is likely to face disruption and should plan ahead, adding: 'Consider this a winter journey as opposed to a summer journey. 'Please make sure you've got warm clothes, food, water, plenty of fuel and that your mobile phone is charged up.' Motorists have been urged to slow down in poor weather and avoid exposed Highland and coastal routes. Rod Dennis, from the RAC, said: "This unseasonable bout of stormy weather will mean drivers in the north and west of the UK need to take extra care at the start of next week. "It's the height of the holiday season, so those towing trailers and caravans, as well as those with roof and tent boxes, must ensure their loads are properly secured." Shaun Jones, from the AA, added: "If you're planning a journey - especially through exposed or rural areas - it's worth checking the latest forecast, allow extra time, and be prepared for the unexpected. "Keep both hands on the wheel, especially on open roads and motorways, and be mindful of high-sided vehicles and cyclists who may be more affected by gusts. "Watch out for fallen branches or debris, particularly in rural areas - this could be telltale signs of a fallen tree ahead." The Met Office issued advice on how people can prepare for strong winds and heavy rain, including checking fences and roof tiles are secure, securing outdoor furniture and clearing guttering and drains of leaves and debris. Other advice includes closing and securely fastening doors and windows, particularly those on the windward side of the house. Storm Floris is the sixth named storm of the 2024-25 naming season, which runs from early September to late August, and January's Storm Eowyn was the most recent. Named storms are more frequent in late autumn and winter but are "not uncommon" for summer, the Met Office said. The forecast rain will not counteract the impacts of the driest start of the year since 1976 but will provide some short-term relief, said Environment Agency (EA) national drought manager Stuart Sampson. The UK has experienced three heatwaves so far this summer, which left four regions of England in drought. London and the South East Monday and Tuesday Outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, moving east through the afternoon, followed by dry and clearer conditions later. Maximum temperature 23°C.

Storm Floris batters Scotland with 90 mph winds, disrupts travel and festivals
LONDON — Authorities in Scotland canceled trains, closed parks and warned people to tie down backyard trampolines as an unusually strong summer storm toppled trees, felled power lines and disrupted travel across northern Britain. The U.K.'s Meteorological Office on Monday issued an 'amber' wind warning in Scotland for Storm Floris, meaning there is potential risk to lives and property, especially from large waves in coastal areas. Network Rail Scotland said wind gusts of up to 90 mph (145kph) had brought down trees across lines and damaged overhead wires. More than 22,000 properties were without electricity, operator Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks said. After reports of mobile homes being blown over on the Isle of Skye off Scotland's northwest coast, police Scotland said that 'anyone with campervans should remain parked in sheltered areas until the wind speed reduces.' The wind and heavy rain hit at the busiest time of year for tourism, with hundreds of thousands of people flocking to the Edinburgh Fringe and other arts festivals. The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, one of the city's biggest tourist draws, cancelled Monday's scheduled outdoor performance by massed ranks of bagpipers and drummers at Edinburgh Castle. Train companies canceled services across much of Scotland and some ferry crossings were also scrapped. Floris, named by weather authorities, also hit parts of Northern Ireland, Wales and northern England, the Met Office said. Scottish government minister Angela Constance urged people to be careful if traveling and 'consider this a winter journey as opposed to a summer journey.' 'Please make sure you've got warm clothes, food, water, plenty of fuel and that your mobile phone is charged up,' she said. Train operator ScotRail urged 'anyone with garden equipment, such as tents, trampolines or furniture, to secure items so that they don't blow onto the tracks and interfere with lineside equipment.'
