Road closures
Edinburgh City Council are working with The Scottish Government and Police Scotland on preparations to accommodate large crowds of visitors in Edinburgh who wish to pay their respects.
The council have said they are expecting significant disruption in the city centre (particularly in the Old Town), including road closures, school closures and public transport diversions.
Road closures are in place in the city centre, with further closures planned in the coming days. There might also be additional closures at short notice, please be prepared for significant disruption if you are travelling.
