Buses are put through mill for makeover
Lothian Buses said its 44 service was being re-painted to mark the industrial past of the area the bus passes through.
The buses have been topped with a new "Mill Race" design as well as being re-painted madder (maroon) and white.

Hide AdIan Craig, Lothian Buses' managing director, said: "Many water-powered mills used to sit along the Water of Leith between Juniper Green and Currie, and they offered livelihoods to generations of mill workers.
"We thought it fitting to acknowledge this local heritage in the new name and image on the revamped 44 which is the main service running along Lanark Road."
Last year Lothian Buses re-branded a number of routes, including the number 3, which was re-named The Lady Victoria in recognition of Midlothian's mining heritage.
