A ghost sign has been spotted by locals in Edinburgh that dates back to a bygone era.
Along a street in Newington, one local captured the marks left on a building when it was a former tailor store.
In the image, along the top it appears to have layers of writing, implying it has changed businesses over the years, but the word 'clothes' can be made out.

Though out Edinburgh 'ghost signs' have been revealed as buildings undergo renovations, nodding to the history of the city.
Down in Leith, residents often walk past an old dairy shop that has long since closed its doors.
The ghost sign that reads 'Craigend Dairy' was uncovered during a refurbishment of a cobblers and key cutters store.
The cobblers was run by a father and son duo for 30 years before it was later converted into flats. Being on the corner of Easter Road and leading onto Duke Street, it is a popular area for those looking for more affordable housing compared to city centre prices.
It is understood that Craigend Dairy was the dairy shop that sold products from a local farm, known as Greenend Dairy Farm, in Liberton. The farm closed in the mid-1900s.
Now the land has been left to the elements and nature has reclaimed where the farm used to sit. It's thought the Craigend Dairy shop would have been popular with schoolchildren in the area.
