The gates to Edinburgh's Gorgie Farm have closed indefinitely amid uncertainty about its future, as the council was urged to "take responsibility" of the benefits it provides to the local community.
Love Learning, the educational charity which has run the farm since 2019, handed back the keys to the council on Monday (January 16) after announcing it was walking away over rising operational costs and lack of funding.
Staff, volunteers and locals gathered for a community vigil shortly before the gates were shut, as one regular visitor said the air was filled with 'disbelief, sadness and anger'.
