A perfectly preserved Edinburgh 'ghost sign' has been uncovered during renovation work to a New Town building.
The sign advertising M.T. Scott Confections and Cigarettes was spotted at 19 Hart Street, opposite the junction with Broughton Place. After some digging into the building and owners' history, there is more than meets the eye with this particular sign.
As reported by the Broughton Spurtle, information gathered after consulting censuses, statuary registers, valuation rolls, Post Office directories and local newspaper reveal quite a lot about the building's past.
