Lost: Travel adapters in central Edinburgh
On Tuesday at 4:20 PM, I last had my travel adapters while strolling down Princes Street in Edinburgh, near the Scott Monument. I must have left them on a bench by the Waverley Station tram stop as I checked a map, and they disappeared into the crowd. They’re small but essential for my trip, and I’m feeling stranded without them. If you’ve seen them, please reach out through the site so I can get back on the road.

Ray-Ban tortoiseshell glasses, lost on Princes Street
I lost my Ray-Ban tortoiseshell glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Scott Monument on Princes Street. They're the classic metal-frame style with brown tortoiseshell corners and a noticeable scuff on the left temple; one lens has a tiny speck that can barely be seen in bright light. There's a small engraving on the inside of the right arm, initials 'PK', and they came with a black leather flip-case that has a dent in the corner. They're my go-to pair for work and reading, and I really need them back; I can't drive or read signs clearly without them. If you found them, you can drop them off at the Lost & Found desk near Waverley Station.
Silver Yamaha flute lost near Princes Street Gardens
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm outside the Scott Monument on Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. It's a standard student model with a small dent on the foot joint and a scratch along the lip plate. The case is black with a red lining, and there's a tiny sticker on the zipper with a local youth orchestra logo. It means a lot to me—my late aunt gave it to me, and I really need it back so I can keep practicing and auditioning.
Cream duvet cover with blue piping, lost near Scott Monument
I lost my cream duvet cover with blue piping yesterday around 3pm near the Scott Monument in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh. It’s a king-size, 100% cotton cover with a soft waffle texture and a tiny snag along the bottom seam. There’s a faint coffee stain on the back, easy to spot if you peek inside. It’s sentimental to me because it was a gift from my mum, and I’d really appreciate getting it back.
Black metronome with white dial
I found a small black Seiko metronome this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Usher Hall on Lothian Road, Edinburgh. It's about 10 cm tall, with a glossy plastic shell and a white dial that sticks a bit when you turn the wheel. On the bottom there's a faded sticker with the initials 'ZA' and a tiny red dot sticker marked 'M1'—super distinctive if you spot it among a busker's gear. It still ticks when nudged, clearly used recently by someone who practices here. I know it probably belongs to a local musician or student, and I’d be glad to return it to its owner—please get in touch if this sounds like yours.
Blue Penguin Classics pocket paperback, well-thumbed
I lost my blue Penguin Classics pocket paperback yesterday around 3pm. It's a small pocket-sized book, about A6, with a bright blue cover and a creased spine from years of use. The back cover has a faint coffee stain and a green ribbon bookmark with a tiny brass compass charm poking out. I was sitting outside Waterstones on Princes Street, near the tram stop, and wandered toward Waverley Station, but I must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk between the shop doorway and the Scott Monument steps. This book is sentimental to me; it was a gift from my grandmother, and I'd really love to get it back.
Sunburst acoustic guitar in black case
I lost my sunburst acoustic guitar yesterday around 3pm outside St Giles' Cathedral on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It's a full-size dreadnought with a glossy sunburst finish, a small nick in the lower bout, and a frayed brown leather strap. The black hard case has a red plush lining, and there's a faded sticker on the inside that says 'Melody of the Meadows' from a busking gig last summer. This guitar means a lot to me; it's the one I learned on with my grandmother's old songs, so it's really sentimental and I could really use it back. If anyone spotted it or saw a guitar left behind in that area, please message me and I'll come collect it as soon as I can.
Black zip pouch containing glucose meter, lost near Grassmarket
Yesterday around 3pm I lost a small black zip pouch that holds my glucose meter somewhere around Grassmarket in Edinburgh. The meter inside is white with a faint crack in the corner, and there's a red stripe along the pouch's zipper. It's essential for my daily monitoring, so I'm really worried about it and would like it back as soon as possible. If someone found it, dropping it off at the Grassmarket Information Centre or a nearby medical clinic would help a lot.

Red paperback mystery found near Scott Monument
I found a red paperback mystery this afternoon around 2:45pm, lying on the pavement near the Scott Monument on Princes Street, Edinburgh. It’s a roughly 350-page thriller, paperback with a creased spine and a slightly faded red cover. Inside, there’s a blue ribbon bookmark with a tiny fox emblem peeking out from page 112, and a small coffee stain on the back cover. It looks well-loved, which is why I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner because it might be a favorite. If you recognize it, drop me a message and we can arrange a pickup.

Blue dragon plush with lime horns
I lost my daughter's blue dragon plush yesterday around 4pm near the Grassmarket on Victoria Street in Edinburgh. It's about 12 inches tall, with bright blue fur, an orange belly, and lime-green horns. It wears a red satin bow around its neck and has a tiny silver heart stitched on the left wing—easy to spot if you know where to look. There’s a small snag on the left paw from playing too hard, but it's still in good condition overall. This toy is incredibly sentimental for us; my little one sleeps with it every night and it helped her through a tough week after a move. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back.
Grey tote bag with Celtic knot keychain found
I found a grey canvas tote bag this afternoon around 2:30pm, lying on the benches in Princes Street Gardens by the Waverley tram stop.

Inside there's a small notebook titled Edinburgh Sketchbook and a blue Celtic knot keychain clipped to the zipper. The bag looks used but intact; it seems important to someone and I’d love to get it back to its owner.
