Public Scratch 'n' Sniff in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is to host a very special screening of the classic feelgood movie Gregory's Girl. The film will be shown on a big screen in the city's Festival Square as a free public event.

This screen is the first one of its kind in Scotland, but that's not what makes this screening so special. This version of Gregory's Girl will be augmented by Scratch and Sniff technology. Which in practice means that attendees will be given a scratch 'n' sniff card with eight smells to enjoy at the appropriate moments.

Apparently the smells on offer include those of cut grass, sweaty socks and teenage aftershave. Sounds irresistible.
