Edinburgh workers have uncovered the remains of a former Edinburgh stadium terrace during the felling of trees in the area.
Unearthed images show part of the former Meadowbank Stadium before it was knocked down and re-built. What is now a full-size football pitch and the home ground of FC Edinburgh and Hibernian Women was formerly huge terrace and stand built for the 1970s Commonwealth Games.
In recent weeks, dozens of trees behind the outdoor race track at the back of the stadium have been cut down to make way for a new stand for spectators. The space, between the track and fence fronting Marionville Road, has revealed what remains of the historic terrace.
