Lost dresses near Royal Mile, Edinburgh

I was near the Scott Monument on the Royal Mile around 8:15 PM on Friday, trying to get ready for a friend's wedding when I realized I had lost my dresses. I had two gowns: a pale-blue satin maxi with a silver belt, and a black sequin-embellished sheath. The cobbles along the Royal Mile and the glow of the streetlights made my heart sink as I retraced my steps outside St Giles' Cathedral. These dresses are all I have for the ceremony, and time is tight. If you found them, please keep them safe so I can arrange a pickup through the Lost-and-Found on the site.

SanDisk SD card with Shetland bird photos

A Sandisk brand SD card, 16 or 32 GB (I don't remember exactly, sorry), in a small, transparent plastic protective case. It's full of pictures I took, badgers and red spiders at first, but also, and especially, of Shetland birds, which are incredibly valuable to me; I'm doing everything I can to recover them...

Lost: Travel adapters in central Edinburgh

On Tuesday at 4:20 PM, I last had my travel adapters while strolling down Princes Street in Edinburgh, near the Scott Monument. I must have left them on a bench by the Waverley Station tram stop as I checked a map, and they disappeared into the crowd. They’re small but essential for my trip, and I’m feeling stranded without them. If you’ve seen them, please reach out through the site so I can get back on the road.
