Give your kids an immersive dino experience as Jurassic Earth comes to Scotland
The show stars a giant T-Rex, triceratops, brontosaurus, and other lifelike dinosaurs like spinosaurs, velociraptors, and baby dinos As Glasgow continues to embrace dinosaur fever this summer, a prehistoric spectacle is gearing up to storm into Braehead Arena for the September weekend, promising a jaw-dropping experience for families. The hit show Jurassic Earth is set to take over the arena on Friday, September 27, bringing lifelike animatronic dinosaurs to the stage for a thrilling 75-minute interactive adventure, Glasgow Live reports. Two performances will take place on the day, at 12 noon and 3pm, with tickets now available through the Braehead Arena website. Featuring an extraordinary cast of creatures, the show includes a 22-foot-long, 14-foot-tall walking Tyrannosaurus Rex, reportedly the largest in the world, alongside an 18-foot triceratops, a towering 26-foot brontosaurus, and a range of other species. Dinosaur fans can also expect to meet characters like Spencer and Stevo the spinosaurs, Rocky and Richie the velociraptors, Dash the carnotaurus, Tank the triceratops and a host of baby dinosaurs. The show promises up-close encounters, audience participation, songs, dances and even dinosaur ranger training for the younger crowd. Russ Smith, CEO of Braehead Arena, said the upcoming event is a perfect fit for the venue's future vision. 'We have big plans here at Braehead Arena so what better way to kick them off than with the biggest show of all – literally,' he said. 'These dinosaurs are incredible, I saw the show with my kids and they loved it so it was something I definitely wanted to bring to the arena. 'Apparently space is sometimes an issue for the larger dinos so this is the perfect venue – we certainly don't have any concerns on that front so let's go BIG. 'We want to be everything to everyone here at Braehead Arena, so this amazing modern marvel of a show is perfect for us… you'll have a roaring good time.' At the centre of the action is Ranger Danger, the audience's guide through the experience. Children will take part in a special training session to prepare them in case of an unexpected dinosaur escape, all part of the immersive fun. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Organisers say the event offers a great way to 'keep the kids occupied and burn off a LOT of energy to make the September bank holiday fun for parents too'. Jurassic Earth adds to the wave of dinosaur-themed events sweeping Glasgow this summer, following on from the popular Lost Kingdom trail and exhibitions throughout the city.

How to spot peregrine falcons in Glasgow as experts share tips on seeing birds of prey
The Glasgow Peregrine Project have been monitoring the popular pair Bonnie and Clyde. One of Glasgow's most heartwarming wildlife stories continues to captivate the city. Peregrine falcons Bonnie and Clyde, along with their surviving chick Victor, are beginning to work up quite a following. The birds of prey have been monitored closely by the Glasgow Peregrine Project, who hosted public watch sessions at the University of Glasgow this year. Through a mix of live viewing opportunities and engaging social media updates, the team have helped the public follow the birds' lives from mating through to hatching and early flights, Glasgow Live reports. The Peregrine Watches are now over for the season and the striking pair are venturing beyond their nest site at the university's iconic Gilbert Scott Building. But interest in the raptors remains strong, so the project team has encouraged the public to continue spotting and reporting any sightings as the birds explore more of Glasgow. 'Our peregrine family have been venturing into the city centre. This marks a new phase of the peregrine study,' the Glasgow Peregrine Project wrote on social media. 'Monitoring where they go and why, along with what they eat, is really important stuff. Prey assessments continue and ranging behaviour is closely monitored. "There are a few sites where peregrines from outwith the city appear and take up winter territories. It will be fascinating to see how this picture unfolds as the year progresses.' The birds are still being observed by the project team, but they are now calling on the public to help keep track of their movements. They said: 'Your records are really important to help build a picture of their movements and how they use the city. Every record is really appreciated!' To assist in identifying the peregrines, the team has offered some tips. Bonnie, the female, is ringed, which means 'she has a colour ring on her left leg L7 and the right leg a silver BTO ring." The team added: "During prolonged perching, these rings can often be obscured by the breast, belly and flank feathers. Patience is required while waiting for a leg stretch or move of position,' they explained. 'Bonnie is a full adult, typically plumaged large female. Her dark moustache contrasts nicely with her white cheeks.' Clyde, the male, is unringed, which makes his plumage markings essential for identification. The team said: "His head markings are unusual with two very clear rusty brown patches on his nape. 'The colouring on his cheeks is not typical either. Instead of the crisp black moustache and white cheeks, his cheeks are diffused with warm brown.' Their chick, Victor, can be identified by an orange colour ring on his left leg marked 34R, along with a silver BTO ring on the right leg. Anyone who spots the birds, either with the naked eye or using binoculars, is encouraged to take a photo and send it to the Glasgow Peregrine Project, helping the team track their hunting grounds and behaviour across the city.

"This year, thousands of folk from all four corners of the earth visited. It's such an inspirational environment and we loved meeting you all and making new friends. 'From the team, thank you for taking time out of your day to come and say hello and marvel at our wonderful Peregrines. To you all, we really appreciate your support in creating something special for the city.' For updates and identification guides, the Glasgow Peregrine Project can be followed on Instagram at @

Katie Price pulls out of Glasgow Pride just before taking the stage
The TV personality abruptly pulled out of her Pride performance on Saturday July 19. Katie Price pulled out of Glasgow Pride just hours before she was due to hit the stage at the Barrowlands yesterday. The media personality and model was meant to give a special performance at the annual event on Saturday, July 19. However, she cancelled her appearance last minute, and event organisers took to social media to express their disappointment, reports Glasgow Live. They wrote: "Unfortunately, **Katie Price** is not able to attend Glasgow's Pride 2025 due to another urgent obligation." Some fans were quick to comment on the letdown while others were not bothered by the star's sudden absence from Pride this year. One person said: "Didn't even know Katie Price was supposed to be coming." While another wrote: "Sorry to bring the mood down but Katie Price should never have been booked in the first place." And this isn't the first Pride performance the TV star, who recently celebrated her daughter Princess' 18th birthday, has pulled out of at the last second. The Daily Mail reports the star also binned off an arranged appearance at Barnsley Pride, which she was due to headline with pal Kerry Katona earlier this month. The pair both cancelled their appearances last minute. Organisers of Barnsley Pride wrote on Facebook: 'We sincerely apologise to all our visitors who are looking forward to joining us for our Barnsley Pride 2025 events. 'Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Katie Price will no longer be headlining our Funny Gals Main Stage / After Dark Official Pride Afterparty. In other recent Katie Price news, the star was reportedly stopped by security in an airport when staff failed to recognise her as a celeb. She spoke of the incident in a recent episode of The Katie Price Show. The former glamour model shared the "funny" encounter with her sister Sophie, which occurred as they waited in line at airport security. Katie detailed how she was queuing at passport control when she noticed airport officials continually glancing her way. The star felt "awkward," saying that the staring made her "more twitchy." Airport personnel then asked Katie to accompany them to what she referred to as a "visa place", where she was instructed to take a seat. Convinced she had done nothing wrong, Katie complied and sat down, and began watching "horse videos". She seemed not to be phased by the situation, confessing that she didn't mind waiting. With an hour and a half until her flight, she explained she preferred this to wandering around the airport and dealing with the "anxiety that people are looking." She recalled: "And then the man came back. I dunno what they do to check your passport, whether they Google your name or whatever, but then the police guy came back with a big grin on his face - was like, 'Hi'." Katie went on to say: "I said, 'I don't look like my passport picture because I've had my face done so many times. I look different. Yeah, and they went, 'No, no. You're all fine. You're all fine. I went, 'Do you think I need to change my passport for a new one and a new picture? I said, 'Because this happens all the time', because my passport picture is so old, I don't look like it."
