On Sunday 19 July, a number of streets in the city centre will be closed to allow the Edinburgh Festival Carnival to take place.
Diversions will be in place, and customers are advised to check before travelling and to allow extra time for their journey, taking into account the ongoing closure of Princes Street and disruption in the area.
