Broughton may look and feel like a relatively affluent area. But behind the scenes, a surprising number of people here struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table.
The Edinburgh Food Project is an independent charity established in 2012 (SCO43220). Its 170 volunteers currently hand out 2,000 food parcels per month through seven outlets across the capital. One parcel in three goes to a child.
From 1–25 December, 1 clue comprising letters, number & image will appear each day on our website. Solutions have something in common relating to Edinburgh.
The clues are purposely difficult to begin with but will become easier to allow retro-solving later on.
A small prize will go to the person who correctly solves the most clues by noon on 2 January.
Quick march.

As you read this, advance copies of the December/January Spurtle are already dusting Broughton like the first snowflakes of winter. Only with words printed on them.
Page 1 is action-packed with over-the-top dullness, hyperactivity on defects, pavements and fume-belchers, an ongoing mystery, a fond farewell, and more of the same fun and games around short-term lets. Also, an unconventionally beautiful girl with a fan.
