    The
      Gifford Transport Group, who 
      own a substantial amount of former Lothian buses, 
      organised the first Edinburgh Festival of Transport in May
      2004.   It was held at Silverknowes Promenade in Edinburgh on a
      gloriously sunny day.   Not only buses attended the rally, but a
      large number of commercial vehicles were also present.   The
      Firth of Forth provided an excellent backdrop for photographs, as can be
      seen by these various views of vintage lorries. |
