The Capital

People were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with the proposed expansion of Edinburgh’s cycle network so that every household would be within 250–400 metres of a high-quality cycle route.
Support among those answering the online survey was 51 per cent and the market research found 61 per cent in favour.
One participant commented: "Make sure that the cycle network is continuous, direct and consistent." And one critic said: "Extending cycle lanes and closing off roads is bringing more chaos and traffic jams."

This song will get you going in the morning that’s for sure. The fast-paced Rock/Pop song complete with bagpipes in the background takes the listener through the capital with city specific lyrics residents will enjoy. A bit cheesy in places but it definitely brightens up your day. Written by Robbie Willis one memorable line is: “Royal Mile is waking up for you, the sun is rising over Holyrood, Castle Rock is soaring in the blue, like the Bobby guarding over you.” Photo: marsupium photography
