Ice Cream Vans at the Mound

This it a sight that may not be seen for much longer.

There have been ice cream vans beside the National Galleries  at the foot of the Mound for many years.  The Wilson and Corrigan families have operated these vans here in the summer for the past eighty years.

The Edinburgh City Council licensing authorities have a new policy on street trading under which they have allowed the vans to stay here for one more year (2006), but have asked the traders to find alternative sites after that.
