I was very saddened to hear of the passing of rugby legend Scott Hastings over the weekend.
Scott was not only one of Scotland’s most respected sporting figures, but also someone whose passion for the city and its people was evident throughout his life.

My best wishes to Hearts ahead of their game on Saturday.
How wonderful if would be if the team ending that run and bringing the trophy home was an Edinburgh club.
