The popular Edinburgh Taxi Outing has taken place for its 77th year, providing a fun day out for children with additional needs, life-limiting conditions and terminal illnesses.
Setting off from Edinburgh Zoo on Tuesday, children were taken by dressed up drivers in a convoy of police-escorted taxis, decorated with balloons or as floats through the city and out to Archerfield Walled Garden where they stopped for a picnic.
The parade will stop outside Luca’s to allow for the refilling of water tanks and for families to to fill up on ice cream.
In keeping with tradition, the cabs were decorated with balloons and colourful figures.
The taxi outing, which is free of charge for the families involved, began in the wake of the Second World War in 1947 and has continued ever since.
