As you read your February issue the country will hopefully be coming out of the grip of the arctic blast that has seen snow and ice covering almost every part of it and everyone suffering sub zero temperatures. While it has been beautiful to view, it brings its hazards for many.

Safari park worker, David Booth, stumbled over Scotland's largest ever haul of Iron Age gold on his first ever treasure hunt and within seven paces of his car. Such a good luck story might end there you would think, however, the horde is thought to be worth over £1million but it is possible that neither Booth nor the owner of the field will receive anything like this thanks to Scotland's rather peculiar treasure trove laws. Rob Fletcher wonders if it's time for a change in these laws.

Our heritage feature this month is a pictorial look at a new book that tells the entertaining tale of Edinburgh's boys' schools over the last few centuries. While some of the schools have ancient origins, Edinburgh's high School dates back to medieval times, others are more recent but all have an interesting history.

This month our Scene around pages are bursting with people enjoying the first social gatherings of 2010. Find out where MSPs Jack McConnell and George Foulkes turned up in the pyjamas and who was seen enjoying a night out at an exhibition of artist, Frances Bell's work. And much much more.
