Delays have been caused at Edinburgh Airport while trams have been cancelled.

An Edinburgh Trams spokesman said: "Due to a current city wide power outage all trams are suspended.

"An update will follow as soon as possible."

Bus services in the city have also been affected.

A Scottish Power spokesman said: "We are aware of a power cut in EH3, EH4, EH10, EH11, EH12, EH13 and EH14 in Edinburgh.
