As a result many roads are set to close to traffic across the course of the day - many roads are disrupted along the route and finding a place to park your car around Edinburgh could be difficult over this weekend.

However, the event organisers in association with City of Edinburgh Council and East Lothian Council have announced that they have tried to minimise the disruptive impact of the event to allow those directly affected to carry on with their daily routine with as little inconvenience as possible.
