Sturgeon says ‘midlife crisis' tattoo may not be her last time getting inked
The former Scottish first minister said the tattoo, inked on the inside of her wrist, 'might not be my last one' – adding that she has now 'got the taste for it'. She revealed the new tattoo publicly during an exclusive interview with ITV News ahead of the publication of her memoirs, Frankly, later this week. Ms Sturgeon described the design, which she came up with, as being 'kind of an infinity symbol with an arrow' – adding that stood for 'strength, resilience and continuing to move forward, even when it feels impossible'. She was asked about it when she was questioned by ITV News at Ten presenter Julie Etchingham. Ms Sturgeon said: 'Midlife crisis alert! What it is, is known really only to me, but I'll give you a kind of sense of it. It's kind of an infinity symbol with an arrow, and I came up with the design myself. 'In summary, what it signifies to me is strength, resilience and continuing to move forward, even when it feels impossible. 'And it might not be my last one now that I've got the taste for it.'

Brian Cox: Edinburgh festival not big enough for my new film
But when the Scottish Government-funded film gets its world premiere next month, the red carpet will be rolled out 3300 miles away from Scotland - at the Toronto International Film Festival. Read more: Cox - who has been in the city this month performing in an Edinburgh International Festival play - has suggested Scotland's longest-running celebration of cinema, which is the oldest continually-running event of its kind in the world, is no longer in the top tier of film festivals. The actor said the EIFF still had to get 'get its s**t together' following the financial collapse of the event nearly three years ago. Actor Brian Cox has been in Edinburgh this month to perform with the National Theatre of Scotland. (Image: Oxford Union) He said he would have been keen to have a private screening of the event at the festival, but suggested he would not have been allowed by the film's UK distributor, Lionsgate. Glenrothan is one of four new Scottish Government-supported films which are being screened in Toronto but not in Edinburgh. Sandy Grierson and Brian Cox have been playing Fred Goodwin and Adam Smith on stage in the new National Theatre of Scotland production Make It Happen. Others include James McAvoy's directorial debut California Schemin', a new heist thriller made by award-winning Scottish director David Mackenzie and Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's new version of Frankenstein, which was filmed across Scotland last year. Scottish Government agency Screen Scotland confirmed the four films had received more than £1.7m in total for their development and production. The EIFF dates back to 1947, when it was launched in the same year as the Edinburgh International Festival and the spin-off event that became the Fringe. The future of the EIFF looked bleak weeks after the 2022 festival drew to a close when it emerged that it had been forced to suddenly shut down trading after the company behind the event, the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI), went into administration. The revamped EIFF has missed out on the world premieres despite launching a prestigious new feature film prize backed by the family of Sir Sean Connery, a former patron of the film festival, being launched last year. The Sean Connery Prize for Feature Filmmaking Excellence – which is open to 10 world premieres selected for the event each year – comes with a £50,000 cash prize. Cox, who has made regular appearances on the EIFF red carpet in previous years, backed a campaign to revive the Filmhouse cinema, a long-time venue for festival screenings, after it was also forced to close suddenly when the CMI folded. He was at the Filmhouse last week to help launch a new partnership between the UK Government and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which he was named an official patron of last year. In Glenrothan, Cumming plays Donald, who returns to the Highlands after 35 years living in Chicago to try to make amends with his estranged older brother Sandy, who is played by Cox. First announced in 2021, Glenrothan was filmed last year in Scotland, at locations including the Stirlingshire villages of Kippen and Gartmore, as well as Edinburgh and Glasgow. Cox has been performing in Dundee and Edinburgh in recent weeks, playing the ghost of 18th century economist and philosopher Adam Smith in the National Theatre of Scotland production, which depicts the rise and fall of former Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive Fred Goodwin. However he told The Herald there was a 'practical reason' why his new film would be launching in Toronto rather than Edinburgh. He said: 'You can't sell anything at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Nobody is bothered about that element of it – how you sell the f***ing product. There is something immensely practical about art – it's all about how you sell it. 'It is the oldest film festival there is, but with the big chaos they had a few years ago it has lost viability. They have got to get their s*** together. At least they have got the Filmhouse back. 'It needs to be a festival where you can sell stuff and you invite people to buy it. 'We knew that the best place to be doing it (launching Glenrothan) would be at one of the really proper film festivals. Getting it into Toronto was a big plus for the film. 'I would have liked to have shown the film in Edinburgh, but once the deal is done that is it. 'I would like to have had a private screening in Edinburgh, but one has to be very careful about that because I have got my people at Lionsgate leading on me.' EIFF director Paul Ridd said: 'There were a number of terrific films we considered for EIFF 2025 where the stakeholders ultimately made the decision to premiere elsewhere later in the year. This is all part of the process. 'We respect the decisions of filmmakers, producers and key players behind these films and their launch strategies. 'It is a really exciting time for Scottish filmmaking and we are immensely proud of all the wonderful films from all around the world that are premiering with us this week.' A spokesperson for Screen Scotland said: 'Scottish filmmakers are internationally renowned for their craft and regularly are selected to play at major international festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, which are often the launchpad for international sales. 'Brian Cox's Glenrothan, James McAvoy's California Schemin and David Mackenzie's Fuze will all debut at TIFF, as well as Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, which shot in Scotland, ahead of its launch on Netflix. 'The EIFF's revitalised offer positions it as a global player celebrating the very best that cinema has to offer in a modern, energised context and very much part of the wider cultural offering taking place in Edinburgh in August. 'The world premiere competition strand in particular is attracting a growing industry presence alongside local and international audiences looking for a sense of discovery, experimentation, and cross-arts collaboration.'

A chef's secrets to creating match day menus at Hampden Park
This pre-gig feast is the work of executive chef Colin Dempsey and his team, who are responsible for creating bespoke menus for hospitality guests at Hampden Park, be they football fans, music lovers or conference goers. Pictured: A Skybox space at Hampden Park (Image: Nate Cleary) 'My real passion lies with events catering, which is completely different to working in a restaurant,' Dempsey tells me of his role with Sodexo Live!. 'On the day of a big event, you can feel the anticipation right from first thing in the morning. 'Especially if it's something like a cup final at Hampden Park. You can see guests coming in and feeling nervous about watching their team. 'Our job is to make them feel relaxed so that they can enjoy the day.' As venue partner for Hampden Park, Sodexo Live! delivers a range of premium hospitality experiences, catering to thousands of customers at major events throughout the year. From relaxed packages in Club Hampden to culinary dining experiences in the exclusive Superboxes - every experience is thoughtfully curated to 'showcase the best of Scottish hospitality, service and produce'. Pictured: A selection of dishes at Hampden Park (Image: Nate Cleary) No stranger to catering at this scale, Dempsey has enjoyed a storied career of working in stadia across the UK before joining the team in Glasgow almost seven years ago. The key to his success, he says, has always been keen organisational skills and a knack for forward planning. 'Preparation for events like Kendrick Lamar and SZA begins weeks, possibly even months in advance. 'It's a collaboration between everyone from the sales team to kitchen ops and front of house to suppliers. 'The more information we have, the more successful we're likely to be, so we tend to go back and look at similarly sized crowds and demographics to see what has worked before and what hasn't. 'Then we have to have a conversation with our suppliers to see what we can do. For instance, let's say there is a cup final, and I need somewhere close to 3000 fillet steaks. 'I have to go to my butcher and say, 'I need these for a set time and date and prepared exactly to our specifications'. 'Timing is crucial because we could essentially be serving 1,500 meals all at one time in over 10 different areas, so my biggest challenge is to coordinate all of that. 'If that's achieved, then it should all come together seamlessly.' Pictured: 'Club Hampden' is just one of the hospitality function rooms at Hampden Park (Image: Nate Cleary) A close relationship with local suppliers is also essential for catering to such high numbers, as Dempsey strives to prove that larger quantities should never mean sacrificing quality. 'At site level, it's my job to build a relationship with our key suppliers,' he continues. 'We've got the guys at Braehead Foods who do an amazing job of finding us the best produce. 'George Campbell & Sons fishmongers are phenomenal, and Gilmour Butchers provide us with huge quantities of meat but never let us down on quality. Asked if there is one particular event he would choose as a highlight of his career with Sodexo Live!, Dempsey recalls a time shortly after covid when Scotland's hospitality industry was 'on its knees' as businesses struggled to navigate restrictions on crowd sizes or social distancing. 'There was a run of events that I find myself looking back on often,' he says. 'The Euros had been delayed to 2021, and when they went ahead, we managed to bounce back and cater for four games at Hampden Park. 'Straight after that, there was a huge Sodexo Live conference for the UK taking place at the stadium, and next it was COP26, which was massive for us between Hampden and Hamilton Park Racecourse. 'Finally, when three weeks of that were over, we were into the first sell-out match at Hampden for an international game. 'The feedback for all of the events was really positive, and I was so proud of everyone involved. 'The way that everybody pulled together in the Sodexo Live! and beyond with all our partners and clients was absolutely fantastic. 'To this day, I still ask myself how we managed to pull it off, but it was pure team spirit.' Pictured: Catering for major events at the Glasgow stadium is a 'team effort' (Image: Nate Cleary) With upcoming sporting events for the remainder of 2025, including World Cup Qualifiers, and Metallica set to bring their world tour to the stadium in June 2026, the chef says he and his team relish the chance to explore their creativity in creating menus for such varied audiences. 'We're experience makers, and we work hard to create something special for every customer who walks through the door. 'The journey starts from the moment they step inside and doesn't end until they leave.
