Private garden members locked out by teenage boozers

By Michael MacLeod

A PRIVATE pleasure garden for the rich has been hijacked by yobs holding their own “lock-in” drinking sessions.

Keys to the tranquil gated Dean Garden at Edinburgh’s West End costs £110 per-year each – enjoyed as a private playground for almost 150 years.

But police have raised fears that some sets of the expensive keys have fallen into the wrong hands.

Jack Nicklaus fiver note sells way over par

By Michael MacLeod

A CANNY pensioner is cashing in on rare £5 notes featuring golfing legend Jack Nicklaus – for £40 each.

The Royal Bank of Scotland fivers were issued by then boss Sir Fred Goodwin to commemorate the final appearance of the American golfer – known as the Golden Bear – at the 2005 Open.

They feature the legend’s own logo, as well as two drawings of him in his victorious British Open winning round, along with his scorecard.

And one of the golfing great’s fellow pensioners is hoping to cash in on their rocketing value.
