'Exploitation' tram claim
SCHOOL children will get baseball caps and lessons to promote the city's controversial trams project.
Pupils in schools along the tram route are also to receive activity packs describing the trams as "exciting" and encouraging them to promote the scheme to fellow pupils.
Along with 5,000 baseball caps costing 2 each, trams bosses and Edinburgh City Council will promote historical information and safety advice.
But mother Debbie Douglas, whose daughter Shannon, 8, and Rachel Reid-Logan, 8, are pictured right said: "This is child exploitation. Pupils are being used as advertising fodder."
