The Scottish Open is under way in Edinburgh – with lots of action on and off the court.

That includes a paddle donation scheme, intended to be distributed to local schools so that young people can take up the game.

The event is taking place at the Meadowbank Sports Centre across 12 courts – a new venue for this year offering a 30 per cent increase in capacity.
