North Edinburgh survives Storm

It would appear that North Edinburgh survived the threat of the recent storm, locally named Hurricane Bawbag. Schools, Nurseries, Colleges and Community Centre’s all closed early following advice from the Scottish Government.

We have compiled a few photos form the days events which you can view and we also want to hear your views on the decisions to close schools and nurseries. If you have anymore pictures please send them to us on northedinnews@gmail.com
