Free: Vango backpack / travel case with harness and harness cover (Scotlandwell KY13) This is a very good quality backpack, as you would expect from Vango. It has a main compartment, and a smaller compartment below (for dirty shoes etc). It has a full high-quality harness that can be covered over with the built-in cover, which stows away neatly at the base of the backpack when not in use. It does have provision to zip in a much smaller day-bag, but that is no longer around, so not included. Dimensions approx 65x30x15 cm (25x12x6 ins) so about 30 litres capacity. Collection by arrangement from Scotlandwell (about 6 mls east of Glenrothes). Might be able to deliver surrounding area, if you're not in a hurry, depending on my movements!

Free: Wedge cushion to reduce lower back pain (West End EH12) Gifted This is a 'coccyx wedge cushion' by 66fit, intended to do two things: the wedge shape lifts your hips relative to your knees to reduce strain on your lower back, and the horseshoe shaped cutout at the back takes weight of your coccyx (base of the spine).

Free: Staywell magnetically-operated cat flap (West End EH12) Expired Cat flap in good working order, now superseded so looking for a new home. It is operated by a small magnet that attaches to your cat's collar, and several magnets are included, so you can equip several cats to use the cat-flap, or just have a stock for one cat (they do go through them if they are good at losing their collars, as most cats are). It does NOT need a battery. It can be locked to stop cats coming in, or going out, or both. It will keep out any cat that doesn't have the right magnet. Includes all the fittings and suitable for any door (wooden or composite) up to 2 inches thick. Unlikely to work for a metal or glass door (such glass should be toughened, and difficult to cut a hole). Available to pick up near Haymarket, and I can leave it just inside the outer front door if I know when you will call. Or I might be able to deliver (by prior arrangement) to anywhere on or near my route into & out of Edinburgh, so from the Forth Bridges, via Barnton Junction and Queensferry Road to Haymarket

Free: Colourful fibre optic outdoor and indoors Xmas tree 6ft 6ins (West End EH12) Gifted This is an artificial tree, basically green but its fibre-optic tipped branches constantly change colour, silently and at a gentle pace. The tree is 6 feet tall and the base adds another 6 ins. Inside the base, which is quite solid and stable, is an LED bulb which shines through a colour-changing disc to light up the fibre optics. The four photos give some idea but there is a large range of ever-changing colours. It is powered safely by low voltage (12V dc) supplied through a long lead to a transformer plugged into a mains socket. The transformer must be kept inside and dry, but the tree and 12V cable is safe outdoors. Located in Edinburgh near Haymarket, and available from late afternoon on Wednesday. Possible delivery on or near route from the Forth Bridges, via Barnton and Queensferry Road to the West End.
