Edinburgh workers find ghost sign for lost sweet shop as newsagent closes for good

Vintage signage for The Neuk confectioner and tobacconist on St John's Road, Corstorphine, has appeared following the closure of McColl's, which had occupied the site for several decades.

McColl's, which also operated as the community post office, closed its doors for the final time on January 16, following last year's takeover of parent company RS McColl by the Morrisons group.
