A famous Edinburgh clock which stands tall at a busy city centre crossroads has been taken away by the council after a routine inspection uncovered a small crack.
The clock at Tollcross crossroads was removed recently, with the community council telling how a recent inspection by the City of Edinburgh Council discovered a small crack at the foot of the clock, so it was taken away for repairs.
The C-listed clock was designed in the early 20th century and sits in a metal case, with white faces and block Roman numerals. It was made by James Ritchie & Son.
