Huge queues have been spotted to gain access to Edinburgh's Christmas Market after the original opening time was delayed.
After flocks of people arrived at the main entrance on Friday ahead of the official opening time, they were left bemused after being turned away and told the venue "was not ready."
A spokesperson for the market said that they were up and running later in the day but were extremely busy with "over 1,000 people" waiting to get in. Images shared with Edinburgh Live on Saturday, November 26, show similar scenes as huge queues have been spotted spanning the length of Waverley Bridge.
