Edinburgh's council leader has expressed disappointment at the city missing out on the latest round of levelling up cash, as SNP councillors dubbed the UK Government a "reverse Robin Hood".
The capital made a bid for £42 million when entries to the scheme's second round opened last year and hoped to use the money to invest in cash-strapped theatres and concert venues across the city.
However as the list of successful bidders was unveiled this week Edinburgh was not included.
