A cheese-tastic home video shot by an American dad on his family holiday has been discovered on Youtube and shows Edinburgh in all its 1980’s glory.
Jasper100ish has shared two videos, that last over twenty minutes, on the popular video platform.
The footage, which was captured on June 17 1989, transports you back to a time of unforgivable fashion and rather clunky looking cars.

Princes Street is the main focus of the video as the dad zooms around filming his family walking on the once popular shopping street.
The family is staying at the Royal British Hotel in the heart of the city centre and as the camera pans out, the iconic, yet rustic looking Dorothy Perkins storefront can be spotted to the right hand side of the hotel.
The Festival Village that currently sits atop of Waverley Station looks extremely different in the grainy home video as the old water fountain and metal pole structure can be seen.
Traditional maroon and white Lothian buses can be seen caught up in traffic on Princes Street and are surrounded by cars - a sight that has not been visible for a number of years due to traffic calming measures that were introduced by Edinburgh City Council.
There are several children that look as though they have been dressed by an individual on some interesting substances and a number of questionable haircuts to boot.
But one thing that remains unchanged in the city centre is the golden arches of McDonald’s - it is hardly surprising that visiting American tourists would hone in on their greatest ever export.
A large white dome structure - similar to that which covers Dynamic Earth today - is seen hanging over the seating area of the Ross Band Stand in Princes Street Gardens.
The family then travel on an open top bus down the Royal Mile, which admittedly, does not look too different.
They end their whirlwind tour of the city centre at Edinburgh Castle before the video ends with a shot of one of Auld Reekie’s most infamous watering holes - Deacon Brodies.
