Games podiums will go on show
Some of the podiums used in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are to be archived and eventually displayed by museums in Scotland.
The wood used in the podiums, created by Glasgow designer Paul Hodgkiss, came from fallen elm and sycamore trees. Some of the podiums are being given to sporting stadiums, clubs and centres, while others have been donated to Glasgow Life and National Museums Scotland and will be put on display.

Human rights festival returns
The Document Film Festival is set to return for its 12th year, with programmes focused on women's and youth issues.
The human rights film festival, based at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow, will screen more than 30 documentaries from October 9 to 12, and also include discussions, music, workshops and a student forum exploring the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. The full programme will be released in early September.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
