Aussie Olympic medallist marries billionaire F1 heiress

Australian Olympic medallist Scotty James has tied the knot with Chloe Stroll in a lavish Italian wedding over the weekend. James, a four-time Olympian and two-time medallist, was introduced to Chloe, daughter of Formula One billionaire Lawrence Stroll, by her brother Lance who set them up in 2019. The wedding came nearly 18 months after Scotty proposed, and the pair took to Instagram to share pictures of the happy occasion. Chloe shared a series of photos with a simple infinity emoji, while Scotty shared behind the scenes clips from a boat ride around Venice. “Hi everyone. This is our first video as husband and wife - well, on my phone anyway,” he proudly said as he looked lovingly at his wife. “And as you can see behind us, the sun has risen. We’re on a boat back to the hotel - and we got married yesterday!” The beautiful bride donned an off-the-shoulder gown with a stunning floral lace detail and a matching flowing veil. The groom looked dapper in a black suit with a bow tie and beautiful white pocket rose. The wedding weekend included a stay at the Gritti Palace in Venice. Plenty of stars were in attendance including Scotty’s groomsman and best mate, F1 racer Daniel Ricciardo and his girlfriend Heidi Berger, also an F1 heiress. Scotty’s brother-in-law and Sunrise weather presenter, Sam Mac, was also in attendance after taking leave from the show. “So happy for you mate. A true honour to share this special time with you and Chloe ... wow wow wow,” he wrote on Instagram. Rebecca, Sam’s partner, also commented: “I officially have another sister,” to which Chloe replied: “Love you sis!!!” Some other guest stars who reportedly attended the wedding included: Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff and wife Susie, Sarah Ferguson, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.

Remote Scottish island hits the market

If you’ve ever dreamt of escaping the rat race and living a life of complete isolation, then look no further. A remote island situated off the southern coast of Scotland, Carlocco Island is up for sale, priced at offers over £150,000 ($A280,317). “There’s still a very romantic sentiment attached to owning your very own Scottish private island, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and tranquillity in the most beautiful scenery around,” Aaron Edgar of Galbraith Group, the agent handling the sale, said in a statement. The nearest town is almost 10km away with the closest train station Dumfries an hour bus ride from that town. London is more than 563km away with Edinburgh over 160km away. With lush green grass and rocky outcrops reaching the sea, the island covers an area of around 10 hectares, but there are no buildings, only a flood pond providing water to livestock and wildlife in the colder months. According to the listing, no one has ever applied for permission to build on the island, so it would be up to the buyer to investigate any development possibilities with local authorities. At low tide, the island can be reached on foot, by tractor or quad bike. As for the rest of the time, a boat is required for travel, with a pebble beach for them to be anchored, “the perfect base to explore the island, partake in some cold water swimming…and enjoy a waterside picnic,” Edgar said. The island sits in a Site of Special Scientific Interest, an area in the UK defined as of particular interest due to the rare species of fauna and flora it’s home to, and is also a shelter for all types of wildlife, including great black-backed gulls, and rare plants like rock sea lavenders and fragrant orchids. Mr Edgar expects a lot of interest in the unique property, “We have witnessed strong demand from domestic and international parties for entire private islands, having handled the sale of several in Scotland,” he said.

Body of kidnapped heiress found

The body of missing heiress Eliza Fletcher has been found dumped in Memphis four days after she was violently snatched during an early morning run, Tennessee police confirmed on Tuesday. “The deceased victim that was located yesterday in the 1600 block of Victor (Street, south of Memphis’ CBD) has been identified as 34-year-old Eliza Fletcher,” Memphis Police Department <a href="https://twitter.com/MEM_PoliceDept/status/1567147974462939139" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/06/police-confirm-body-found-in-memphis-is-eliza-fletcher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>, Fletcher’s suspected killer and kidnapper, Cleotha Abston, 38, has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree murder in perpetration of kidnapping, in addition to a charge of especially aggravated kidnapping laid against her on Saturday. Authorities found the body of the mother-of-two at 5.07pm on Monday in an area near to where police say Absten was seen clearing out a vehicle seen in the surveillance footage of Fletcher’s abduction. Abston, who has previously served 20 years in prison for violent kidnapping, had refused to reveal where Fletcher was, police said at the time. His brother was among those who reported that Abston was acting “strange” and scrubbing his clothes in the hours after the abduction, according to an affidavit. After police released images of Fletcher during her 4am run around the University of Memphis on Friday, it was later revealed that the car she was forced into had been trawling the area at least 24 minutes before she ran through. Surveillance footage showed an SUV pulled up ahead of her, with a man getting out and running “aggressively toward” Fletcher before forcing her into the backseat. “During this abduction, there appeared to be a struggle,” the affidavit said, adding that Fletcher likely “suffered serious injury”. Her husband, Richard Fletcher, raised the alarm at 7am. Abston quickly became the prime suspect after a pair of shoes left at the scene returned his DNA when tested. The 34-year-old was the granddaughter of a late Memphis billionaire. Image: The New York Post

Ukrainian refugees living “better than they dreamed” on Scottish cruise ship

More than 100 Ukrainian refugees arriving in Scotland are calling a cruise ship in Edinburgh their new home, with those aboard praising the extensive amenities and nods to their home country. Families began moving onto the MS Victoria at the end of July, which can host up to 1,700 people and includes restaurants, children’s play areas, shops, a laundry, support services and free Wi-Fi among its onboard amenities. Though that might be standard fare for cruise passengers, there have been some extra touches made to help those onboard feel more at home. Nikol Bilous told <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-62346573" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC Scotland</a> the ship came with access to Ukrainian TV channels, which came as a surprise since “you never find that when you go on holiday”. "All the signs are in Ukrainian on the ship and most of the staff are Ukrainian,” the 19-year-old said. "And last night we had Borscht beetroot soup, our national dish, we couldn't believe it. "The conditions on the ship are better than we could have dreamed of and we are very grateful to the Scottish people for this accommodation.” Bilous added that there were also cinemas and theatres on board, but there were issues with the lights which haven’t worked after the Covid lockdowns. “But we don't need entertainment and were very surprised they were trying to do all this for us," she said. "Edinburgh Council has been on board all the time answering any questions we have, so we have felt 100% supported. "The rooms are quite small but they are perfect and we are very happy and grateful." Since the <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/russian-invasion-of-ukraine-imminent-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russian invasion of Ukraine began</a> earlier this year, more than 10,500 people have travelled from Ukraine to Scotland. The Scottish government says that new arrivals are met with a network of “welcome hubs”, moving into temporary accommodation such as the MS Victoria or a hotel until alternative housing is arranged. The MS Victoria is docked at all times and guarded, with residents able to arrive and leave whenever they like. Other families, including Tanya Munawar, her husband Khashif, and their five-year-old daughter Marcia, told the BBC they were given “a very warm welcome” when they arrived in Scotland and hoped to settle in the local area. "I'm an immigration consultant and since we arrived here on 26 July I have been trying to find us accommodation to rent and a job,” Khashif said. "I've been applying to hotels to be a housekeeping supervisor. We plan to stay here and work. It really helps that we can speak English. "My daughter is small and is feeling good, as long as she is with her parents she won't be affected by this." Image: Marko Stampehl (AS Tallink Group)

Dreaming of greener pastures? You could be paid to move to the Scottish countryside

If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to start afresh in a remote area on the other side of the world, you could be in luck - and you could even be paid to do it. In a bid to boost the populations of Orkney and the Isle of Skye, the Scottish government has been handing out up to £50,000 ($88,000 or $NZ 97 thousand) to people who are willing to make the move to the countryside. According to its mission statement, the Island Bond fund was created to support island residents to stay in their community and encourage others to move there, with financial support totalling £5 million ($AU 8.77 or 9.66 million NZ) split between 100 households. “We launched the Islands Bond consultation on 2 August 2021, providing an opportunity for our island residents in particular to identify the key challenges that a bond may be able to respond to.” As well as boosting local populations, it’s also hoped that the scheme encourages new residents to start new businesses in the region, giving the local economy a boost. However, local residents and councillors on Orkney have shared their reservations about the scheme, including Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur. “Rather than offering bribes to individuals, which could prove divisive, Scottish Ministers should commit to investing in projects that benefit whole island communities such as new ferries or faster broadband,” he wrote on Twitter. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Rather than offering bribes to individuals, which could prove divisive, Scottish Ministers should commit to investing in projects that benefit whole island communities such as new ferries or faster broadband. <a href="https://t.co/EJLI1HRGKz">https://t.co/EJLI1HRGKz</a> — Liam McArthur MSP (@Liam4Orkney) <a href="https://twitter.com/Liam4Orkney/status/1528711611665489928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 23, 2022</a></blockquote> “The proposed islands bond is set to benefit only a small minority,” he explained, per <a href="https://www.tyla.com/news/scottish-island-50k-20220525" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyla.com</a>. “It also has the potential to open up divisions rather than tackle the root causes of depopulation in island communities.” Despite reservations, the program has already been well-received, with Tyla.com reporting that applications have come from as far away as South America.

Archaeologists baffled by ‘mystical’ find in Scottish cave

Though mummies are mostly associated with ancient Egypt, archeologists have found evidence suggesting mummification also took place on Scottish shores. The team of researchers explored the Coversea Caves, just north of Inverness, with their exploits captured by the Smithsonian Channel’s documentary, <a rel="noopener" href="https://youtu.be/jV9dIhAn0Zg" target="_blank">Mystic Britain: Mummies</a>. The caves are among Scotland’s most impenetrable caverns, but evidence suggests that Bronze Age Britons made the “hazardous journey time and time again carrying the bodies of their dead”. “For prehistoric people to make the effort and to make the journey would have been really arduous to do,” said Dr Lindsey Buster, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh. “When archaeologists first started excavating here, the floor was strewn with human bones.” <img style="width: 500px; height:281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844377/mummies1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/cd4d07e5cece43f98dac6f01c7867e14" /> Image: Smithsonian Channel / YouTube Unlike bones previously found in Britain, these bones still had fragments of soft tissue on them. “It’s not something we expect when we’re excavating a site that’s 3000 years old,” Dr Buster added. “That’s a really significant find.” It is possible that these bones once belonged to a fully-fleshed corpse that had been preserved in the unique conditions in the cave. <img style="width: 500px; height:281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844378/mummies2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/9b3a3dadecad4377b3c1c426a3dbaa70" /> Traces of ligaments can still be seen on the remains. Image: Smithsonian Channel / YouTube. The team also found evidence of fires being lit in the cave “at the same time presumably as bodies are being laid out”. “The smoke could actually probably have helped to preserve bodies and body parts,” Dr Buster said. Dr Buster suspects Bronze Age people came to the caves to purposefully mummify their friends and relatives. “I think once bodies began to be brought into the cave and were behaving in ways that they didn’t normally do on above-ground sites, those characteristics were probably well-noted and became a factory of people coming back again and again over centuries to deposit their dead.” Image: Smithsonian Channel / YouTube

Family offers $1million reward for missing heiress

The family searching for the missing heiress Juanita Nielsen has offered up a $1 million reward for anyone who may have information on her disappearance. Juanita, who was 38 when she was seen for the last time, owned the alternative newspaper NOW which, over 46 years ago, she used to rally against developers who were wanting to build on protected heritage buildings in Potts Point. She also used her magazine to promote the Builders Labourers Federation’s controversial green bans during the 70s. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7841997/juanita-nielsen.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/9b4f59dabe384bef9b19ee7fa5c99b52" /> Juanita was last ever seen at the nightclub Carousel Cabaret in Kings cross on the early morning of July 4, 1975. The club was run by a man who allegedly had close ties to notorious underworld crime boss Abe Saffron. While Juanita’s family, nor investigators can confirm why she mysteriously disappeared all those years ago, her living relatives are desperate to find answers. It is widely believed she was kidnapped and murdered due to her anti-development and anti-corruption campaigns which she broadcasted loudly. A coronial inquiry in 1983 found Ms Nielson, who was also an heiress to the Mark Foy's retail empire, had likely died. However, what perhaps is the most shocking and mystifying part of this case, is that despite its extraordinary publicity – a body, nor more information has ever been uncovered. Her family say they are desperate to give Juanita a proper burial with her cousin Francis Foy appealing for any information about her suspected murder. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7841996/juanita-nielsen-2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/8ce11450707b4a428abaf232d833c59e" /> "Juanita was very much loved by her family and very much missed," Mr Foy said on Monday. "Her disappearance and the unknown of what happened to her caused incredible pain for her family." Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said in a statement that it was unlikely they would be able to collect any further forensic evidence or witness statements, but that hope is not lost. "In turn, it has also become difficult for police to target known persons of interest or associates due to their passing," he said in a statement. "However, it is our hope that someone in the community may have information about Juanita's disappearance, or the location of her remains."

Prince Charles' real "soulmate" revealed

A royal biographer claims Prince Charles has a real “soulmate” that he had fallen for, before Princess Camilla, or even Princess Di. Penny Juror said Prince Charles was romantically linked to a younger woman after he was involved with Duchess Camilla in the early seventies and before he married the late Princess Di on July 29, 1981. The woman was Davina Sheffield, and according to Juror was a woman who “seemed ideal in many ways.” Prince Charles was the most eligible bachelor in the world throughout the 70’s and 80’s. Juror wrote in her 2005 book The Firm, that Prince Charles ruined the relationship he began with beautiful and alluring Davina by rekindling with his old flame, Camilla. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUt-IoDSuw/" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <a style="color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUt-IoDSuw/" target="_blank">Mrs Jake Morley [nee Davina Mary Sheffield] born 1 March 1950; former girlfriend of the Prince of Wales; sister-in-law of Miranda, Duchess of Beaufort. #DavinaMorley #DavinaSheffield #fawbs</a> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;">A post shared by <a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/ernest_fawbert/" target="_blank"> Fawbert</a> (@ernest_fawbert) on Apr 16, 2019 at 9:49am PDT </div> </blockquote> "In 1976, the prince fell for another girl, Davina Sheffield, who could have been the soulmate he was searching for," she wrote. "She seemed ideal in so many ways, and they appeared to be very much in love. "But she already had a boyfriend when Charles met her, an Old Harrovian and powerboat racer named James Beard. "Davina initially rebuffed invitations to have dinner with the Prince, but he was so persistent that she eventually succumbed and the boyfriend soon fell by the wayside. "He was subsequently conned into talking about his relationship with Davina by what turned out to be a Sunday tabloid reporter and the story of their affair, complete with photographs of their 'love nest', made headline news. "It killed the relationship stone dead." The couple were introduced by Charle’s sister Princess Anne. Davina is the granddaughter of the first Lord McGowan and the cousin of Samantha Cameron. The Prince later met a beautiful Scottish heiress Anna Wallace who Juror wrote also could have been Charle’s true soul mate - despite the relationship not being supported by his family. Juror wrote in her 2017 book, The Duchess that Wallace had dumped the then handsome prince in a fit of rage over his relationship with Duchess Camilla. "Charles had taken her to two successive balls and then danced with Camilla for most of both evenings," she wrote. "Anna dumped him with the words: 'No one treats me like that – not even you.'" Prince Charles met his future wife, Princess Diana in November of 1977, whilst he was with her older sister, Lady Sarah. The two later married in 1981 at St Paul’s Cathedral and became the Princess of Wales. They shared two children, Prince William and Prince Harry, before she passed away in a tragic car accident in 1997. Scroll through the gallery above to see the two woman Prince Charles was linked to before he married Princess Diana.

Scottish woman issued with $40,000 parking fine

A Scottish woman has been issued with Britain’s biggest ever parking fine, which adds up to a whopping $40,232 (£24500). Carly Mackie, a 28-year-old from Dundee, ignored the near-daily fines placed on her car since 2015 as she believed she had a legal right to park at her parent’s house and that fines from private companies were unenforceable. She racked up more than 200 penalty notices for parking her Mini in front of her parent’s garage. "I always make a point of parking in front of my own garage, where nobody else could park, and never parking on the double yellow lines on the road,” she said. Compounded by her non-payment and late fees, the total bill reached a staggering $40,232. The private parking company, Vehicle Control Services (VCS), who was issuing the fines, said Mackie was required to have a parking permit and had failed to challenge any of the previously issued fines. After taking Mackie to court over the fines, VCS was deemed to be correct. Sheriff George Way said his decision came down to the fact Mackie had a fundamental misunderstanding of where she could park her car. "She knew perfectly well what the signs displayed and that she was parking in breach of the conditions,” said Way in a written ruling. "She stated that (effectively a protest position) that parking charges were illegal and unenforceable in Scotland and that she could park where she liked as her father's guest. "The defender is not the tenant. The defender's car was an additional burden on the parking facilities and she was the same as any other interloper.” He added: "Parking is not only an amenity but a valuable commodity in modern life."

Swelling river threatens 450-year-old Scottish castle

A swelling river has threated to collapse a 450-year-old Scottish castle near the Queen’s Balmoral estate, forcing the laird of the 16th century tower to flee. Remarkable drone footage in the video above shows just how precariously Abergeldie Castle is teeters over the edge of the River Dee. At its height, the river completely swept the embankment away, unearthing a range of mature trees, swallowing nearby roads and threatening the gorgeous building. The castle’s owner, Baron Abergeldie John Gordon, has sought refuge at a neighbour’s home with his wife. "He left the castle when the river was at its height. It swept the embankment away," neighbour Gordon Fraser told Scotland's Daily Record. "It moved a 60ft lump of ground and took a lot of big mature trees as well. John is at his wits' end. It's not only a home. It's the heritage, the history. Nothing can be done while the river is in spate like it is." Areas of the UK have been hit by heavy storms over the past week, leaving many properties without electricity and some metres under water as river levels reach all-time highs.
