Its taken the best part of three years but finally a significant snowfall has struck Edinburgh allowing images of trams in the snow to be recorded. Although the city centre was mainly clear of snow the outlying areas of the tramway did see a dusting of snow – although not nearly as heavy as that seen elsewhere in Scotland. John Hampton braved the cold and provides us with these photos.
