Moment man 'knocked out' on packed Royal Mile as tourists looked on
Alarming footage circulating online captured the moment a brawl broke out while crowds gathered around a Fringe performance in Edinburgh city centre.
Believed to have been taken on August 1, the TikTok clip shows the moment two men got into an altercation with one man seemingly being knocked out.
A man with a grey jumper and wearing a cap appears to get a smaller man dressed in black in a headlock before delivering several blows to the man's head and face, reports Edinburgh Live.
In the clip, the man in black can be seen hitting the deck with others watching the disturbance unfold at Hunter Square.
A performer from the US can be heard in the background as the incident unfolds while tourists can be heard gasping as each blow is delivered.
The male in the grey jumper hurriedly walks away from the scene after the other man fell to the ground.
It is not known what led to the fight or if the man in black sustained serious injuries.

It's 30°C This Weekend – This Is The Heatwave-Proof Uniqlo Dress I'm Reaching For
@@tonediscoveries via TikTok and @ Rogue August showers may have led you to believe that summer is nearing its end, but the UK weather has a few surprises in store. In fact, the weather apps are now predicting a heatwave over the weekend. Good news, if like me, you were looking for a reason to snap up another breezy frock. While there's plenty out there worth considering, none have caught our eye quite like Uniqlo's Gathered Mini Dress, and if Instagram is any indication, the style set agrees. Made from lightweight cotton to keep you cool once temperatures skyrocket to the late twenties, the mini dress is also incredibly affordable, meaning you won't regret only getting a few wears out of it before the September chill (until next summer, of course). So what is it about the dress that's us charmed? Well, to start with, the silhouette. Designed with an elegantly gathered bodice that cinches the waistline, it bears a striking resemblance to some of Dôen's whimsical frocks, namely the viral Ischia dress, minus the signature, extravagant puffed sleeves. Its fit and flare shape is also flattering across a range of body types, with sizes XXS through XL available to buy. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Olive Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) If you're looking for something lightweight that will see you through the stifling heatwave, consider this cotton Uniqlo mini dress. Fashion insiders have taken a liking to the olive green version. Of course, as with any Uniqlo staple, the brilliance of the dress doesn't end there. It comes in a conveyor belt of colours and patterns to cater to every mood. The classic black iteration is ideal if you're looking for something a little more traditional and chic, while the mossy olive is an excellent option if you want to inject a touch of (muted) colour into your wardrobe. Meanwhile, the ditsy floral versions have become a big hit among well-dressed women and are, surprisingly, still in stock in all sizes. Oh, and did I mention it comes with pockets (!)? Plenty of stylish dressers have worn the Uniqlo dress on its own with western and biker style boots. For a touch of boyish charm, retro style trainers are your best bet, and for a pop of colour, choose Adidas Gazelles in either pink or blue. We've also seen plenty of fashionable people wearing mini dresses like this one as blouses, layered on top of wide-leg jeans and trousers. For casual outings, sling a best-selling Uniqlo Round bag across your body, or for an elevated touch, opt for a designer-inspired tote bag such as the Ellyla Woven Leather Hobo Bag. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Light Blue Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The darling ditsy version of the Uniqlo is simply pretty, and is available in two colours, including this light blue iteration. 3. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Off White Ditsy Print Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) The off white version is equally as charming. 4. Cotton Gathered Mini Dress, Black Price: £12.90 (was £34.90) For a chic put together look, consider the black shade, which can be dressed up or down depending on your mood.

Woman issues airport security warning after priceless item left 'destroyed' by X-ray scanner
People take cameras with them on their travels to capture the memories and amazing sights. People take cameras with them on their travels to capture the memories and amazing sights. However, one woman has issued a warning after a priceless item was 'destroyed' by an X-ray scanner. Magdala, @magdalanyc2, shared a video on TikTok about her experience taking her camera through airport security. Sadly, it ended up with the 39 photos she captured ruined by the machine. She captioned the clip: 'PSA airport security x-rays destroy film even in little s**t disposable cameras and you lose everything (39 grained moments but ones you can't get back).' The TikToker revealed in a comment that her carry-on luggage went through the security machine three times. Others commented to share their experiences, while some shared advice. One TikTok user shared a tip to help others avoid getting their film ruined. They said: 'You can ask them to check it manually!! (They know the drill so they agree most of the time).' 'Oh, guess I shouldn't even bother developing my pictures from my last trip then,' one dismayed viewer said, followed by a crying emoji. But Magdala replied with some positive news. She said: 'If it just passed once it could be all good, the more times the more damage. Hope they come through for you just expensive to check.' Magdala also revealed in another comment that her carry-on luggage had gone through the scanner 'like three times'. But she advised that checked baggage scanners were even more risky for film cameras. She added: 'Checked is apparently an even stronger one so your best bet is to ask them to hand check it. 'I have one that was blank when it recently went through as a carry on just once and nothing was damaged!' It comes as someone else revealed passengers should look out for a 'growing' luggage tag scam as they make their way through airports. An airport worker, who claimed to be a baggage claims manager for American airline company Delta, warned about the new trick on Reddit. 'I just wanted to let everyone know to please start discarding your bag tags at home,' they urged in a post on the forum website. They alleged people were using tags thrown away in the airport to make 'fraudulent claims' with the information on them.

A new partnership with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society will help sell 'Brand Scotland' around the world, the Scottish Secretary has said. Ian Murray said the landmark agreement would encourage investment and growth and 'put more money in people's pockets'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The talented members of La Clique put on a mesmerising show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Picture: Lisa Ferguson It is the third such deal to be signed, following on from agreements with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Scottish Chambers of Commerce. The Scotland Office hopes the schemes will help promote Scottish produce and talent overseas. The Tattoo, for example, will support 'Brand Scotland' in trade missions to Japan and Australia. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray | PA Speaking today during the first week of Edinburgh's summer festivals, at the newly-refurbished Filmhouse, Mr Murray will say the arts sector is an important part of the UK's soft power, building links and relationships around the world. 'For some, art and culture is a tool of power, of wealth,' he will say. 'For others it is a tool of nation building, of defining who we are and who we are not. For me, it is something which transcends states and systems, and teaches us something about the human condition which other experiences simply cannot do. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But that value, that treasure, that ability for our cultural pursuits to let us see into our souls and those around us is something we cannot take for granted.' Commenting ahead of his speech, Mr Murray said: "Scotland's excellent arts and culture sector opens doors right around the world. From the global stage of the Edinburgh Fringe to the pageantry of the Military Tattoo, our arts and creativity don't just entertain - they build the relationships and showcase the innovation that drives real economic returns for communities across Scotland. 'Our partnership deal with the Edinburgh Fringe will help us sell Brand Scotland around the world, helping us deliver the economic growth that will put more money in people's pockets." Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Tony Lankester, chief executive at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, said: 'The Edinburgh Fringe is arguably one of the UK's finest cultural exports and, in recognising that, this partnership gives us the opportunity to proudly put it at the heart of a global conversation. 'We're proud of the artists and audiences who make the Fringe possible and who create this joyous celebration of creativity each year. Putting the Fringe at the centre of Brand Scotland recognises that work, and opens up a world of new platforms for participants.' The Scottish Secretary will also announce the first round of successful bids from the overseas Brand Scotland fund, which is investing £250,000 this financial year to 'promote Scottish soft power, culture and trade opportunities worldwide'. Funding has also been provided for initiatives including supporting an event in Berlin with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland, a 'Travelling Museum of Whisky' in Bolivia, a celebration of Scottish heritage and craftsmanship in Switzerland, and St Andrew's Day events to promote Scottish exports and cultural engagement.
