The Edinburgh Taxi Outing passed through the city centre on Tuesday morning en route to East Lothian where everyone involved will have lunch at Archerfield Walled Garden after an ice cream stop in Musselburgh at S. Luca’s.
As the taxis passed by the council’s licensing department staff there were well armed with water balloons to get their own back against the constant barrage of water from the pistol wielding youngsters (and the not so young).
The council had been persuaded to move the planters at the top of Cockburn Street to allow the procession to pass down the Royal Mile. Only half of the street was closed – but leaving the bollards at the top of the street open allowed many vans and trucks onto the High Street – almost causing a jam just before the taxis arrived.
