This once-abandoned lodge which was a poorhouse during the Second World War since stood derelict for years - but holds a tragic secret.
Residents who live or lived opposite Edinburgh City Poorhouse, in the Greenbank neighbourhood of the capital, say they often groups of people "looking puzzled" and carrying paperwork outside the building in the 1970s and 1980s.
It is thought they were on the hunt for the former homes of their relatives and were likely unaware that their ancestors had either lived or been born at the poorhouse, Edinburgh Live reports.
