A series of incredible vintage Fringe posters have been unearthed at an Edinburgh charity shop.
Depicting the festival over the years, around 12 artworks were discovered in the basement of Birthlink Thrift shop near Tollcross in the city centre.
Supporting adopted adults, parents and birth families, the charity has two shops in Edinburgh, one on Gilmore Place and one in Bruntsfield, both of which sell general items and bric-a-brac.
However, it was the Gilmore Place site that made the discovery, with each poster advertising a different years programme, some including iconic features of Edinburgh.

From greek statues wrapped in tartan to a black white and blue print of Greyfriars Bobby, shop manager Neil Gascoyne told Edinburgh Live the collection had been there for years.
He said: "They've been in the basement for at least five years, I had the intention of framing them, and no frames the right size came, and I forgot all about them.
"I was clearing out and came across them at the start of the week."
The posters date around the days when comedy began to take a real forefront at the festival, with 1981 seeing the now Edinburgh Comedy Awards born under the name of the Perrier Award, with the likes of Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson making appearances that year.
After unearthing the designs, which range through the 80s, the shop had shared the discovery on social media with the hope of drumming up some interest.
Posting on Friday morning, by the afternoon almost all of the collection had been individually sold, with locals keen to get their hands on an artistic piece of Edinburgh's history.
Neil Gascoyne added: My favourite was the pink castle from 1987, there were 12 in total, all but two are sold now.
"They were all individually priced between £6 and £15, depending on their condition. I expected them to sell fast, but, it's been pretty crazy!"
"All of these designs were competitions from school children too, which is actually amazing."
