The 77th Edinburgh Taxi Outing is taking place on Tuesday.
The outing is organised and paid for by the taxi drivers themselves and offers a fun day out for children with additional needs, life-limiting conditions and terminal illnesses.
The taxis are all decorated with balloons or as floats and assembled this morning at the car park at Edinburgh Zoo for judging and presentation of prizes.
The procession of cabs then left the car park under Police escort to make its way through the city and along the coast to Archerfield Walled Garden (between Gullane and Dirleton, East Lothian) with a stop outside Luca’s in Musselburgh to refill the water tanks and to eat as much ice cream as possible.
Our galleries of photos from the Zoo car park and on Princes Street show just a few of the day’s fun moments.
