Edinburgh's popular Fudge House have released a new picture of their impressive renovation as the store is due to re-open in the coming days.
Having stood on the Royal Mile since 1949 and their last major refurb coming some 15 years ago, one of the city's most popular and extravagant family businesses have finally sought time to giver their shop a new look.
Brothers Dominic and Armanda started selling their own hand made fudge from the shop at the foot of the Royal Mile in the late 1940's and in spite of rationing at the time, it wasn't long before their delicious fudge which was based on Dominic's wife secret family recipe, became Edinburgh's favourite sweet treat.

After rationing ended in 1953, the family were able to increase production to meet the growing demand for their fudge. In the early 1960's, Dominic agreed to take over the business so that Armando could concentrate on his career as a TV chef.
Selling unique takes on classic chocolate, white chocolate and having their own exclusive flavours, the Fudge House attracts floods of curious locals and tourists every week.
Some of the flavours the store sell include Lemon Meringue Pie, Mocha Chocolate Cream, Spiced Ginger and Chocolate Peppermint.
Customers can order a box of five or ten different flavours, as well as ordering online to get fudge delivered straight to your door.
Yesterday, the Fudge House teased fans with the first picture of their re-fit, with a modern and shiny new look. They also added that due to a few technical snags, the new opening date has been pushed back to Saturday, February 19.
In an Instagram post they said: "A little sneak peak of the new look! We’re over the moon on how everything turned out and can’t wait to swing open our doors and welcome you back.
"Also, talking about opening, we thought we might be able to reopen on Thursday 17th, but due to some machine malfunctioning and finishing touches, it looks like we’ll now be open on Saturday 19th!"
