Mike Tindall turned down a royal fashion request—his wife Zara and Princess Anne wanted him to wear Scottish tartan trews for their anniversary, but the ex-rugby star, who spent his career battling Scots, flat-out refused, calling it “killing a Scotsman” in style.

Aberdeen City Council is set to demolish nearly 300 homes in Torry built with dangerous RAAC concrete, a bubbly and weak material posing serious structural risks — cracks, sagging, even holes that could lead to collapse. The demolition alone will cost £5.8 million, part of a £130 million redevelopment of the Balnagask area. First approved in August last year, the plan follows inspections of over 100 properties showing severe damage. More than 360 council tenants have already been relocated, but 12 homeowners remain uncontacted — a final notice has been issued. One resident, Dave Porter, spent £18,000 replacing his RAAC roof, yet still fears a compulsory purchase order. The controlled, floor-by-floor demolition is the first step in rebuilding Balnagask with new social housing.
