Bicycles get run of park

HOLYROOD Park will close to traffic for four days over the festive period – so children can try out their new bikes.

In addition to the usual Sunday road closures on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, the attraction will also be closed on Boxing Day and Monday, January 2.

Ranger Martin Gray said: “We’d like to thank drivers for their understanding during the festive season when the park is so busy and children are keen to take their new bikes outside for the first time.”

The closures, from 8am until 4pm, will be at Queen’s Drive and Duddingston Low Road.
