Huge Edinburgh traffic queues spotted leaving the city in great Easter getaway

Huge queues have been seen on a major Edinburgh road as many look to escape the city for Easter weekend.

Traffic has been seen tailing back from Queensferry Crossing all the way to South Queensferry as punters are keen to enjoy the sunshine. This comes as Edinburgh is set to bask in a 'mini-heatwave' over the bank holiday weekend.

One took to Twitter and said: "Currently stuck in this congestion! Having the Forth Road Bridge open to regular traffic would clearly help! Absolute joke!"

According to BBC Weather, the sun will be out on both Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9, with temperatures of 13C and 14C on both days ahead of the busy family weekend.

Forecasters say any lingering mist and fog will lift on Saturday morning but it will stay mostly cloudy in the east. Any cloud is expected to break up in the afternoon kicking off what could be the hottest weekend of the year so far.
