Scotland Bus Operations
Not neccessarily useful if you arent in to that type of thing but i found this user on youtube by accident:

It doesn't cover every route and most routes were filmed in 2013 meaning that some route changes could have happened but even then, they are still enjoyable (even without sound!)

(28 May 2016, 2:07 pm)Andreos1 I wonder if the recent arrival of West Coast Motors ops in the area has anything to do with this?
The likes of Perrymans et al can use this opportunity in some of the affected areas.

Lothian Buses are currently in the process of repainting all of their E400H's into the standard Madder and White livery.
Another Open-top B5TL for Lothian has been spotted:

This one looks to be for the Edinburgh Tour as it features green (and it was said that the Majestic and Edinburgh Tours would be getting new livery designs to coincide with these new vehicles entering service on the respective tours).
It will be interesting to see what happens with Mac Tours in terms of vehicles - I can just think of 'Routemaster' so it will be strange to see what will replace them with the upcoming DDA deadline. Presidents, maybe?

(28 Jun 2016, 7:35 pm)S813 FVK The Presidents have formed the Tour Bus fleet for quite a while now (apart from the couple of ALX400s on the City Sightseeing tour). They have probably spent the least amount of time on the Majestic Tour though which i think lost the Olympians last.
It would be nice if they could keep the Routemasters as a sort of novelty sort of thing as they have been on there for as long as i can remember. The next oldest thing in the fleet which could replace them is indeed the Presidents which, as you can imagine, is a heck of a jump from the 1950s/1960s to 1999/2000.

And more Lothian news:
The company seem to be introducing yet another new livery. Whether it is a trial or not but i am guessing it is something special given that they have just repainted a Hybrid E400 into the 'old' livery. Volvo B7TL 722 and Scania Omnidekka 987 have been done so far:
