Last week we launched the first of our Edinburgh safaris by inviting readers to search for four or more owls (see foot of page).
Since then we've been inundated by one entry, which correctly identified the location of our photograph as the small courtyard next to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Unfortunately, Lizzie Rynne supplied no photos of her alleged sightings of other owls on Cockburn Street. Chessels Court and Muir Wood, Currie. Congratulations all the same.
This time, we’re looking for LIONS. Not just in Broughton, but anywhere across the city. And not your boring old living lions, yawning and snoring and tearing people apart the way normal big cats do, but dead-as-a-doornail lions shaped, sculpted or moulded by human hand.
So long as they’re outdoors, in a public space where you don’t need to pay to view them, and as long as they’re three-dimensional, they count. Take photos of the ones you spot, send them to us along with a note of where you saw them, and let us know if you’ve matched or beaten our target figure.
We’ve found THIRTEEN including the one featured on this page. If you can identify the location of the one in the picture, you get a bonus point.
Let us know by by e-mail how you get on before noon on Sunday 12 June. For now it’s mostly about self-satisfaction and the admiration of your peers, but how you score may well lead to prizes beyond the dreams of avarice later on in the year.
