Papal visit travel advice issued

Sep 3 2010

Travellers have been urged to plan their journeys to try to avoid delays caused by the Pope's visit to Scotland.

With Pope Benedict XVI coming to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, traffic management measures are to be put in place across central Scotland to accommodate the tens of thousands of people who will flock to see him.

Transport Scotland is working with local councils, the police and others to try to minimise disruption to roads and railways with less than two weeks to go until the religious leader's visit on September 16.
