Cream duvet cover with blue piping, lost near Scott Monument
I lost my cream duvet cover with blue piping yesterday around 3pm near the Scott Monument in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. It’s a king-size, 100% cotton cover with a soft waffle texture and a tiny snag along the bottom seam. There’s a faint coffee stain on the back, easy to spot if you peek inside. It’s sentimental to me because it was a gift from my mum, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Black metronome with white dial
I found a small black Seiko metronome this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Usher Hall on Lothian Road, Edinburgh. It's about 10 cm tall, with a glossy plastic shell and a white dial that sticks a bit when you turn the wheel. On the bottom there's a faded sticker with the initials 'ZA' and a tiny red dot sticker marked 'M1'—super distinctive if you spot it among a busker's gear. It still ticks when nudged, clearly used recently by someone who practices here. I know it probably belongs to a local musician or student, and I’d be glad to return it to its owner—please get in touch if this sounds like yours.

The back cover has a faint coffee stain and a green ribbon bookmark with a tiny brass compass charm poking out. I was sitting outside Waterstones on Princes Street, near the tram stop, and wandered toward Waverley Station, but I must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk between the shop doorway and the Scott Monument steps. This book is sentimental to me; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I'd really love to get it back.

The black hard case has a red plush lining, and there's a faded sticker on the inside that says 'Melody of the Meadows' from a busking gig last summer. This guitar means a lot to me; it's the one I learned on with my grandmother's old songs, so it's really sentimental and I could really use it back. If anyone spotted it or saw a guitar left behind in that area, please message me and I'll come collect it as soon as I can.
