The heart of Edinburgh was awash with colour and cheer on Tuesday, June 10, as the celebrated Edinburgh Taxi Outing paraded through the city, ferrying children with life-altering disabilities and terminal illnesses in a truly special annual tradition. Dating back to 1947, the event sees Edinburgh’s dedicated taxi drivers transform their cabs into vibrant, balloon-laden spectacles, competing for prizes for the most impressive decorations.

This year’s procession departed from Edinburgh Zoo at 10am, winding its way through the city centre before heading towards Musselburgh, Prestonpans, and ultimately concluding at Archerfield Walled Garden in Dirleton for an afternoon of fun. Spectators were encouraged to join in the festive atmosphere, even bringing water pistols for a playful interaction with the passing parade.
Among the day’s highlights, Keith from Central Taxis garnered accolades for his impressive unicorn-themed cab, all while he donned a “Where’s Wally” costume. Central Taxis celebrated his win on Facebook, sharing: “It was fantastic seeing all of the children, drivers and taxis decorated for today’s taxi outing. “Delighted to see Central Taxis’

Long may it continue and high praise to all the organisers and drivers.” The outing once again delivered a “fun-filled afternoon” for the child- ren, creating cherished memories before their return home.
