Cover story: Summer in the city

It’s often been said that we Scots are obsessed with the weather. Given the random nature of the skies at present you’ve got to act fast when those brief moments of sunshine appear. That’s why we’ve brought together a collection of our best ideas of what to do in our fine cities this summer. There’s biking, barbecuing, beach-combing and even tips on mastering the fine art of frisbee. See page 14.
