Drivers 'forced to use headlights during day' to see through dust near Scots building site

Drivers are being forced to put their headlights on during the middle of the day due to the high levels of dust in the air in Edinburgh, an NHS respiratory nurse has claimed.

Ruth Moss, 50, who works at Little France, told Edinburgh Live the air pollution appears to be coming from a nearby building site at the corner of Old Dalkeith Road by the Wisp.

Heavy clouds of debris are said to have been blown around the area from large mounds of mud and dirt that appear to have been placed close to residential properties.
