TRNSMT, Science You Can Eat, Edinburgh Zoo

Nicola chats to Gastronaut Stefan Gates about his new book, Science You Can Eat, which is all about why onions make us cry and how to make edible slime.

We head to the TRNSMT festival and get right in at the heart of the action as one of the biggest music festivals in Scotland opens its gates.

Nicola heads along to Edinburgh Zoo to meet some new arrivals as part of their BrickLive Ocean event.

We hear about a special Treasure Trove event where you can discover the background of artefacts that you've unearthed in the garden, or by metal detecting.

Trainers, slippers, high heels… whatever your style, we all need to wear them. A new exhibition at the Museum of Edinburgh is examining footwear from over the past 100 years – with some looking a lot less comfy than others!

Just because the schools are on holiday doesn't mean you can rest your grey matter! Nicola chats to Gastronaut Stefan Gates about his new book, Science You Can Eat, all about why onions make us cry and how to make edible slime.

The team visits the Jim Clark Motorsport Museum to learn more about this legend of racing.

The summer holidays stretch ahead of us in a haze of lazy days and family fun, but they can be a strain on the purse strings. We've got some advice on hand from Nick Drainey to tie up your trainers and go out for a family walk.

And we've got a review of a new Open Air Cinema experience in Edinburgh – but will the weather hold out?
