Navy tote bag with striped lining and pink thistle keychain
I lost my navy tote bag with striped lining yesterday around 3pm near Grassmarket, outside a cafe on Victoria Street in Edinburgh. It’s a medium-sized bag, probably about 14 inches tall, with a slightly worn canvas, a small coffee stain on the bottom corner, and no visible brand tag. Inside I kept a spiral notebook, my travel pass, and a pink thistle keychain that my grandmother gave me, which makes it feel priceless to me. If anyone happened to find it, I’d really appreciate it being returned—it's the only thing I have left from her, and I really need it back.
Burgundy passport with biometric page
I lost my burgundy UK passport yesterday around 3pm near the Scott Monument on Princes Street in Edinburgh. It’s the standard adult passport with the royal crest on the cover and the biometric symbol inside. The cover has a small coffee ring stain along the bottom edge, and there’s a tiny crease on the top-right corner from a bag snag. I have a trip booked next week and a family event abroad later in the month, so I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be so grateful to arrange a safe return; I can collect from Waverley Station or meet in a central spot.
Blue plush dragon with green wings, lost in Edinburgh
I lost my blue plush dragon stuffed toy with green wings yesterday around 3pm near the Scott Monument by Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. It's about 12 inches tall, soft fleece, with a tiny silver bell around its neck and a small yellow star patch on its left wing. It was a gift to my daughter and has sentimental value; the little dragon has been her favorite for months. If anyone saw it around or picked it up, I’d be really grateful to get it back.

Crested gecko — lime green with orange specks
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my crested gecko was missing from its terrarium after I got home from work. It’s a small gecko, about 5 inches long, lime green with orange speckles and a dark eye stripe; the tail has a tiny kink and there’s a white dot on its left hind toe. I last saw it near the Grassmarket, outside a cafe on Victoria Street, but it could have slipped toward Greyfriars Bobby area if a passerby startled it. This little guy is a gift to my daughter and means a lot to us—we’d be heartbroken if we don’t get him back. If you’ve seen it, drop me a note at the email below.
Navy hoodie with red star patch
I found a navy blue hoodie this afternoon around 3pm near the Grassmarket in Edinburgh, outside the Old Town Coffee Shop on Victoria Street. It's a size M, brand H&M, with a small red star patch on the chest and a faint coffee stain along the cuff. The fabric is soft but a bit worn, with the cuffs slightly stretched, and it felt like something someone would wear daily—kind of sentimental. I felt relief at finding a piece that could be meaningful to its owner, and if this is yours, drop me a DM and we can sort something out.
Found green parrot with orange beak near Grassmarket
I found a small green parrot this afternoon around 2:15pm outside a cafe on Victoria Street, near the Grassmarket in Edinburgh. It's about the size of a large robin, with a bright orange beak and a few blue-tinted tips on the tail feathers. It wears a blue leg band with the code ED-23 and has a slightly ruffled look, like it's been out in the drizzle. It perched on my sleeve for a minute before hopping onto a nearby railing and looking around. I'm hoping to reunite it with its owner—if you recognize this bird, message me here with the leg band code and where you last saw it; we can arrange a safe meet-up in Edinburgh to return it.
White iPad Pro 11-inch in blue case
Found a white Apple iPad Pro 11-inch in a blue silicone case this past Tuesday around 5:15pm on Princes Street, Edinburgh, just outside the Scott Monument by the tram stop. The back has the initials 'LH' engraved and there’s a small green sticker on the corner of the case. The screen protector is cracked and there are light scratches along the edge from daily use. I’m glad I found it and I’d love to return it to its owner—text or email me with the initials and the blue case, and we can arrange a quick meetup near the tram stop.
Found rare 1967 Edinburgh Tattoo enamel pin
I found a vintage enamel pin near the Scott Monument on Princes Street, Edinburgh, this afternoon around 3:15pm. It's a blue enamel pin with gold lettering that reads 'Edinburgh Tattoo 1967', mounted on a red felt backing. There's also a tiny brass tag on the back stamped 'ET-67'. It looks well-loved but still bright, and it clearly has collector value. It would mean a lot to the rightful owner if this finds its way back to you—I'm happy to arrange a safe hand-off.
Green budgie with blue tail found near Grassmarket
I found a small green budgie perched on a cafe railing near Grassmarket this afternoon around 3:45pm. It has a bright lime-green body, a yellow head, and a cobalt-blue tail. There's a blue plastic leg band on the right leg with the digits 04-BG. It seemed healthy, chirping softly, and looked like a pet rather than a wild bird. If anyone recognizes this little guy, please get in touch — I’d really like to help get him back to his owner.
