It takes boffin-dom to a whole new level.
We speak to the Tayside engineer determined to help create a space elevator to take man all the way to the moon. What we would do when we get there is slightly less clear but it’s still a remarkable story.
Having been in a somewhat chatty mood, we have also been conversing with the accident victim who, against all the odds, is preparing for a return to school just days after being struck by a car. It’s a Saturday stonker sure to put a smile on your face. Very uplifting. Just like a space elevator.
There will be simply no rival to our extended coverage of the fall-out following the Bill Walker trial either. We speak to some of those who insist they have been taken advantage of as the shamed MSP sought good publicity. You wouldn’t want to miss it.
When chomping on a huge roll surely the last thing you would expect to bite into would be a blade. Surely. Yet that is what allegedly happened to one hungry shopper. We have the full story of a fascinating court case.

In sport we have all the latest from the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
It’s also a massive weekend for football. That is something we welcome and embrace courtesy of all the big previews. Dundee United against St Johnstone and Raith Rovers v Dundee are just two of the highlights.
Saturday is a time for the finer things in life, and it doesn’t come finer than our weekend Courier now including a quite simply enormous magazine so be most certain to pick up Saturday’s Courier or, if the mood takes you, why not try our digital edition?
