A picturesque Edinburgh cottage is looking for a new owner after standing in the city for nearly 200 years.
Thought to have been built before 1850, the two-bedroom house is tucked away in the Joppa area, just a short walk from the beach .
Described by estate agents Warners as a "period cottage", the semi-detached property actually once formed part of the Jenner Estate, which merged into Easter Duddingston village.
The founder and original owner of Jenners department store, the cottage was included in the estate, leaving the property steeping in history.

Almost 200 years later, the cottage has still managed to retain its period look, but underwent a major renovation in the 1990s to give it all of the modern luxuries.
On the market for £285,000, the cottage is set over two floors, with both bedrooms nestled into the attic space with cosy sloped ceilings.
As well as one bathroom and a sizeable living room, the cottage opens up onto an adorable walled garden, with the original wall preserved from its hay day.
Speaking about the property, Warners said: " An award-winning restoration brought it back to life in the 1990s and the cottage is nestled in a walled garden, flanked by mature trees filled with wildlife.
"This stunning character property has been tastefully decorated by the current owners with contemporary fittings throughout, whilst still retaining period charm with its sanded real wood flooring.
"The property comprises: - Welcoming entrance vestibule which gives access to the lounge, shower room and upstairs accommodation, rear vestibule with storage cupboard and entrance door to rear garden, lounge with ample space for small dining table, well – equipped kitchen featuring a Belfast sink with space for washing machine and fridge freezer, master double bedroom with integrated storage, further bedroom with integrated storage, shower room with mains shower, toilet and sink, walled private rear garden, beautifully kept front garden, gas central heating, attic, bin store, street parking."
