Show"Someone should be held responsible" - the words of an Edinburgh man who contracted Legionnaires' disease in the capital. Gordon Erasmuson is one of twelve people now seeking legal action over the outbreak - which has claimed two lives. Lawyers say they expect more victims to come forward, as the investigation into the source of the infection continues. Rangers will find out on July the 4th whether their new incarnation will be allowed to stay in the Scottish Premier League or face banishment to a lower division. In another development, the SPL announced that the club has a case to answer over its past use of a tax avoidance scheme. Punishments could include Rangers being stripped of past titles. Two in five unpaid carers are ignoring their own health to look after ill, disabled or elderly loved ones. A survey found that many are delaying medical treatments ranging from operations to cancer screening as they cope with their caring responsibilities. Men suffering from an incurable muscle-wasting condition will continue to die young - unless the Scottish Government acts now. That's the message from campaigners, who claim it's a critical time for investment into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A forty-four year-old man has appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court charged with murder. It follows the discovery of the body of thirty-one year old Lee Duncan in a flat in Lauriston Place in Tollcross in February last year. A contract worth more than fifteen million pounds has been awarded to BAE systems in Prestwick to convert two commercial aircraft for military use. The manufacturer of a super puma helicopter which ditched in the North Sea says early investigations suggest operator Bond was not at fault. All fourteen on board the aircraft survived after the ditching thirty miles east of Aberdeen last month. Eurocopter say they've found no operational or procedural error. VisitScotland are launching their biggest ever global tourism campaign to co-incide with the release of the new Disney film, 'Brave' in Los Angeles. The tourism body is spending seven million pounds on the advertising push to promote Scotland. It's hoped the film, which is set in a mythical Scotland, will attract visitors from around the world and boost the country's economy by an estimated one hundred and fourty-million pounds. The daughter of Olympic medallist Eric Liddell has launched a sports scholarship in his name at Edinburgh University. Patricia Russell flew over from Canada for the event, in honour of her famous father. Thousands of pounds worth of damage has been caused by a fire at Livingston Football club's Almondvale Stadium. Fire services were called out just after 3 o'clock this morning to tackle the blaze which started at the turnstiles at the stadium's South stand. Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to trace in connection with an attack on a woman in a hotel car park in Edinburgh.
