One of Edinburgh's busiest spots were surrounded by actors and films crews today as filming in the city began for a brand-new Amazon TV series.
Anansi Boys, the six-part drama that has been adapted from the novel by Neil Gaiman, follows the story of the spider-god Anansi's two sons.
Filming and production for the show had been in the works for many years, with the original plan for the series in 2014 instead being tied in with American Gods, an adaptation by Starz.
