It was a fine day at the top of Calton Hill – and the seagulls were making hay with the litter strewn around the bins at the top.
Although Council workers arrived shortly after these shots were taken, one of them said that it is often like this. He simply cannot understand why people do not take their rubbish with them if the bin is full or overflowing.
And The Calton Hill Preservation Trust just carried out a litter pick on Saturday – which they do regularly.
The council has been asked for comment.
