More than 30,000 people have now signed a petition to reverse a ban on walk-on girls during darts matches. The Professional Darts Corporation announced it would no longer use walk-on girls in its tournaments last week. Some fans and players say the ban takes away a key part of the experience. And model Charlotte Wood, one of the best known walk-on girls on the darts circuit, has spoken out against the ban saying that her "rights are being taken away".

CAN YOU NAME THE PLACE?
CLUE 1: Today's place-name has much in common with Coldstream and Eyemouth, but is older and hotter.
CLUE 2: It is from the same language as Aberdeen and Perth.
CLUE 3: Like Glasgow and Holyrood, it appears in a novel by Sir Walter Scott - but it is given a fictional name.
CLUE 4: Like Aberdeen and Dundee, it has given its name to a type of food. 
CLUE 5: Like Beith, it has a connection with a statement of independence.
CLUE 6: As with Kirkcudbright and Tobermory, the final clue is a song - but this one is about mice and windmills.
