He said “There has been lots of hype about this year’s festival, but it’s important to remember this outing has been going on for over seventy years.

“The taxi drivers have done a great job, as always, in pulling this together and the taxis look great.

“It is great to see all the kids coming along smiling and enjoying their day out.”

The convoy set off through town and down the Royal Mile before heading down to Archerfield.

We hope all the kids have a great day out.
