Portable toilets for the long queue of people waiting to pay respects to the Queen in Edinburgh have been called "an accident waiting to happen" after several appeared along a major cycle route.
There are fears the placement of temporary toilets in the Meadows where mourners are standing in line and moving slowly towards St Giles' Cathedral where Queen Elizabeth II is lying in rest, is putting cyclists and pedestrians at increased risk of collision.
Local cycling campaign Spokes warned that people using loos set-up on North Meadow Walk could be hit by passing cyclists whilst cyclists are at risk of crashing into toilet doors opening suddenly as some open directly out onto the path, which forms part of the National Cycle Route 75.
