Kind Edinburgh stranger hands out £1,000 to locals at petrol station

A kind Edinburgh stranger handed over £1,000 to be given out to locals at a city petrol station to help with the cost of living crisis.

The surprise act of kindness took place on Wednesday June 15 at the BP petrol station on Canonmills, when a mystery man popped into his local BP and asked to speak to the workers behind the till.

Marcus Brown, who works at the local station with pal Brian, was in utter disbelief when the stranger came in and explained he had ten £100 gift cards to be handed out to those using the fuel station.
