Historic Environment Scotland (HES), which manages Holyrood Park, is asking the public their views on the future of the 650-acre park in the centre of Edinburgh. The survey asks people how they currently use the park and what they think of HES's strategic plans. One of the key issues is a proposed ban on through traffic to make it safer for walking and cycling. HES says a car ban would improve people's experience of the park, but others claim it would mean congestion and increased pollution elsewhere.
Deadline: Tuesday, December 19.

The decaying Ross Bandstand in Edinburgh still hosts big concerts every year, despite many redevelopment plans over the years failing to come to fruition. The venue in Princes Street Gardens has a seating capacity of 2,500 and a maximum capacity of up to 10,000 for events such as the Hogmanay party and concerts by the likes of Travis, pictured above, with the bowl used for standing customers.
