Distances
Express units of measurements in miles or metres, not kilometres or yards.
To express a distance, use miles. Express parts of a mile in fractions, and when using fractions, write them out in words, not numerals.
Example
- North Berwick is four and a half miles away.
If you do need to use kilometres, use decimals.
Example
- Haddington is 2.7 kilometres away.
For shorter distances, use metres.
Use m as an abbreviation only where necessary, and tag as 'metres'.
