Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio is coming to Edinburgh next month and one lucky fan will win the chance to have lunch with him.
The Oscar winner has teamed up with Home, a new restaurant in Edinburgh created by Social Bite and Maison Bleue, to help raise funds for homesless people in Scotland.
Fans who donate £5 to buy a meal and a hot drink for a homeless person at Home will be entered into a prize draw to win a place at a VIP lunch with the star, who will be in the Scottish capital on November 17.

The prize also includes an overnight stay at The George Hotel, first class travel to Edinburgh from within Scotland, and a £1,000 champagne and shopping experience at ROX.
More than 700 people have already entered the draw, which opened this morning. It closes at 7am tomorrow morning.
Last year, a draw by the Social Bite to win lunch with George Clooney in Edinburgh raised over £400,000, enough money to allow the charity to feed Scotland's homeless for a year.

Home opened in Edinburgh in September, with Scots chef Martin Wishart providing recipes for the restaurant's monthly specials.
Dicaprio will deliver the keynote speech at this year's Scottish Business Awards in Edinburgh on November 17, following in the footsteps of former US president Bill Clinton and Sir Richard Branson.

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
