A bungling workman has been left red-faced after painting out a large misspelled Private Parking sign.
The fresh white lettering - which actually spells out Privet Parking - appeared earlier this week at the rear of a business in the Leith area of Edinburgh.
Locals have been left bemused by the “spectacular” mistake and have been quick to poke fun at the shoddy workmanship after an image was posted on social media on Saturday.
