A local resident has hit out at the state of litter that has been strewn across the car park at a popular beach spot in the North of the capital.
The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared several photos with Edinburgh Live that shows Cramond beach car park inundated with litter. They say that the site is a terrible advert for Edinburgh as tourists travelling from around the world for the Fringe Festival are greeted by overflowing bins and piles of rubbish when they first arrive at the beach.
In one image, an Edinburgh City Council bin can be seen filled to the brim with discarded litter. There are also several items that are spread around the surrounding bin area.
