Alex Salmond has criticised Edinburgh City Council for ‘destroying businesses’ with tram works as he visited Leith on the campaign trail.
The Alba leader and ex- First Minister was in the capital ahead of next month's council elections, which will test the popularity of his new party at a local level for the first time.
Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Mr Salmond complained that construction of the city's new tram line delayed his arrival to the event, which was held at Leith Arches on Wednesday (April 20).
