Scottish airport announces 100ml liquids restriction lifted for first time
Passengers at the airport will now be able to keep liquids in their bags when going through security, following the installation of top-of-the-range security x-ray technology.
Edinburgh Airport is the first airport in Scotland to lift the rule since it was introduced in 2006.
Scottish holidaymakers will now be able to carry up to two litres of liquids in containers each.

The announcement comes after eight new X-rays were installed as part of a £24 million investment to transform the security process at the airport.
Large electricals, such as tablets and laptops, can remain in bags, and liquids in containers up to two litres can now also be kept inside.
Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, welcomed the news as he said: 'This is a big day for our passengers and the airport team – we are delighted to be able to lift this rule and really transform the whole security process, making it easier for everyone.
'A whole generation of travellers have only known the 100ml rule to be the case, so it really is a momentous day as we become the first airport in Scotland to lift the rule since it was introduced in 2006.
'The change allows more flexibility for passengers to take liquids through security, all while maintaining and improving our high safety levels through the use of 3D technology. But it is important that passengers continue to check with the situation at their return airport as not all airports will be moving away from 100ml just yet.'
