You have touched on a major issue, not just here in Edinburgh, but in most of our towns and cities. Young people, in particular, after they leave a pub on their way home after a night out have virtually nowhere to answer the inevitable call of nature. I take it that things are much better organised in your home city with a plentiful supply of toilets but here it seems the Council have no interest in providing such facilities. Why this should be I have no idea, although unsupervised toilets do tend to get used for all sorts of purposes, mostly illegal, beyond their actual function so perhaps cost is the issue here. Nevertheless, for a city that leads the way in tourism this is a shocking lack.
