Three Edinburgh homeowners who are locked in a battle with their neighbour over a 12ft hedge have taken their fight to have it lopped to the Scottish government.
David Linkie, Jeremy Jones and a third neighbour claim 12ft leylandii trees owned by Barry Rice make their lives a misery.
They said they have to carry out 'dangerous' and 'high risk' maintenance of the hedge twice a year in a bid to stop loss of light at their £500,000 homes on the outskirts of the capital.
