Calvin Harris, whose real name is Adam Wiles, co-bought Dumfries's historic Coach and Horses pub for £190,000 in 2023 with Mark Irving. Former landlord John Owens describes him as a pleasant and friendly visitor who remains proud of his hometown. The pub has received strong customer reviews and supports local bands, open-mic nights and emerging artists, with the Dumfries Music Collective praising its contribution to the area's music scene. Harris is also scheduled to perform at Glasgow's Hampden Park, with the show available on BBC One.

A Glasgow woman who won £120,000 through the National Lottery’s Set for Life used the entire sum to leave her supermarket job and establish a wedding content creation business. Monthly instalments funded family stability, a second wedding celebration, a car replacement and start-up costs for her company Moments by Love. With the final payment now received, she has no savings remaining but expresses no regret, crediting the winnings with enabling a long-desired career and improved family security.
