Edinburgh school closures: Queen's death sees schools and nurseries close on day after royal procession in Capital

The council has confirmed the schools and nurseries that will remain closed after the Royal procession in Edinburgh.

In a statement on the Edinburgh Council website, they warn that there “will be significant travel disruption along the route of the Queen’s coffin on the afternoon of Tuesday 13 September.

“Police Scotland will be putting in place numerous road closures from 1pm which will cause significant disruption across the city.

"As a result, a number of schools and early years centres along the route will close early from 12 noon to allow pupils and staff time to return home safely before the Police Scotland closures are in place.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause. However, you will appreciate these are exceptional times.

“All schools will open on Wednesday 14 September as normal.”
