A warning has been issued by Traffic Scotland ahead of the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this week.
The festival will return for its 75th edition on Friday, and over the month hundreds of thousands of tourists will flock to Edinburgh. Artists and performers will take to stages across the capital for shows all throughout August.
As a result, there will be heavier traffic than normal in the city according to Traffic Scotland — particularly the M8, A720 City Bypass, the A1, and the Queensferry Crossing.
