Is your Shed up for the Hot Honey Jaffa Cake Challenge? 🍊🔥🍯 The Dalkeith Shedders put their taste buds to the test—was it the beloved orange sweet loveliness or the sneaky imposter with a fiery chilli twist? 🌶😄 https://t.co/m9s1kZiDIx

Lord-Lieutenant Andrew Simpson presented Banff MS with the Banffshire flag today to mark their @KingsAwardVS. Designed by a Portessie Primary pupil, the flag reflects the county’s farmland, rivers, coastline & whisky heritage. The Shed will fly it on their grounds. Photo: HNM

Inverclyde Shed hosted the Greater Glasgow & Clyde Shed Network & paused to honour the contributions & sacrifices of all who served in WWI, WWII, and later conflicts. A heartfelt thank you to Peter for the beautiful lament on the pipes — a moving tribute that touched us all.

4/4 So much has changed. This time last year, the Shed was only at the frame stage — now, it’s thriving. The team even recycled panels from their old rooftop water tank to construct a new outdoor storage Shed. A perfect example of ingenuity & sustainability in action 👍
