Gorgeous Edinburgh courtyard that's like a wee slice of Italy when the sun's out

With its Romanesque steeple, array of arches and red roof tiles, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were on the banks of Lake Garda - as long as the sun's out anyway.

But, alas, the gorgeous courtyard of St Peter's Roman Catholic Church is not situated in the centre of a rustic Italian village - we're actually stood in the heart of the leafy Edinburgh suburb of Morningside.

Built in the early 1900s in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, the distinctive looking parish church is located on the corner of Falcon Road and Falcon Gardens, just off Morningside Road.
