Lost swimsuits in Edinburgh

On a bright Saturday in Edinburgh, around 11:20 AM I realized my swimsuits were missing after a quick dip at Portobello Beach. I laid them out on a blanket near the lifeguard hut and wandered along the promenade, thinking I’d placed them by the water's edge. By the time I reached the Royal Mile later that day, they were nowhere in sight. Those swimsuits were essential for this weekend's plans, and losing them stung more than I expected. If anyone found them around Portobello or near Waverley Station, I’d be grateful to hear they’re safe.

Pins lost near Scott Monument

Hello, I’m Isla MacLeod. I lost a small set of enamel pins around 9:15 a.m. today near the Scott Monument on Princes Street, Edinburgh. They’re five pins in different shapes—a lighthouse, a thistle, a tiny bagpipe, a castle, and a skyline. I keep thinking about the trip to Holyrood Park last summer and how these pins reminded me of that day. If they’ve turned up anywhere along Princes Street or beside the Scott Monument, I would be grateful beyond words.

Lost driver's license near Edinburgh Castle

I'm Liam MacLeod. I lost my driver's license after an evening stroll near the Royal Mile, around 8:45 p.m. on Monday, close to the junction of Princes Street and Lothian Road. It was in a dark-blue wallet with a small dent in the corner; I’d been walking from a pub on the Grassmarket toward Waverley Station when I realized it wasn't in my pocket anymore. The license is essential, and I'm hoping someone picked it up and handed it in somewhere around Edinburgh Castle and the Scott Monument.
