A "quite special" WW2-era medal has been discovered at an Edinburgh waste centre. Staff at the NWH Group found the Commander of the British Empire in a pile of rubbish at the Leith site.
Stuart Rae, who made the discovery on Thursday, May 4, has described it as the "most special thing they've come across". He hopes that the medal can be returned to its rightful owner and is appealing for information from locals.
Steven Walker, who works for the NWH Group and was on site when the medal was discovered, told Edinburgh Live: "We can't trace it to where it's actually come from - if it's out the back of a skip or a household cleaners vehicle.
