This time tomorrow Hearts or Hibs will return to the capital with their hands on the Scottish Cup. The Tynecastle side are the favourites to win the first all-Edinburgh final since 1896 but Hibs are determined to end their one hundred and ten year wait for the trophy. Tens of thousand of fans will make their way through to Hampden tomorrow hoping they'll be the ones celebrating come the final whistle. Twin memorials honouring workers who died building the world famous Forth Bridge have been unveiled on either side of the crossing. The ceremonies marked the end of a 10 year restoration project. As well as commemorating those who died, today's event celebrated the work of thousands who have worked on the bridge over its 129 year history. Murder accused Nat Fraser told police investigating his wife disappearance, that he suspected her of having an affair and thought she'd run off with his money. The High Court in Edinburgh heard how officers spent hours interviewing him after Arlene Fraser vanished from her Elgin home fourteen years ago. Nat Fraser denies murdering his wife. A woman has died in hospital after falling and hitting her head on a night out. Emergency services were called to Out Night Club in the Seagate area of Dundee in the early hours of yesterday morning. Elaine Smith was taken to Ninewells Hospital but she later died of her injuries. An investigation is now underway into the 46-year-old's death. Four fishermen who admitted their part in a major, black fish scam in Peterhead, have been hit with confiscation orders totalling more than 1.1million pounds. Trawler master, Ian Buchan was told to pay £1million for landing undeclared fish. The offences happened between 2002 and 2005. The men are due to be sentenced in July. Opponents against a 4 hundred million pound bypass for Aberdeen have suffered a setback. A supreme court ruling over costs means objector William Walton could be forced to hire a smaller legal team. The court also decided he would have to pay 5 thousand pounds if he loses his action. A report out today says Scotland is falling behind the rest of the world in provision for the victims of major trauma. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is calling for specialist trauma centres to be set up across the country. The Scottish government says it will negotiate with the report's authors about how many centres to create and where. When the Ferguson family were told 9 months ago Ryan had leukaemia they didn't know if they'd see him like this again. But following a successful bone marrow transplant in January the 3 year old is now in remission and on his way to a full recovery. Hearts and Hibs' prepartions for tomorrow's final couldn't have been more contrasting. Pat Fenlon took his players away to Dublin to esacpe from the hype, his opposite number Paulo Sergio has stuck to his usual routine at Tynecastle - claiming this is just another game.
