Lothian farmer, Billy Innes, of East Hermiston Farm to resow 7 acres after cars mistake his field for a car park

Imagine turning up to your field to find over 1000 cars parked on your newly sown ground.

This, unfortunately, was a reality for Billy Innes of East Hermiston Farm on the outskirts of Edinburgh. On Saturday over 1000 motorists decided to use his 23 acre arable field as a car park for the tram so they could attend a rugby match at Murrayfield.

As a result the Lothian farmer has had to resow seven acres of the damaged field again and spent Saturday night dealing with revellers and the police over the incident.

Mr Innes is keen to work with all involved to ensure incidents like this do not happen again and educate motorists about where they can and can not park.
