A local has told how a rundown shopping centre looks like "dawn of the dead", as people still gather despite the lack of stores.
Once Newkirkgate was a buzzing 1960s precinct, one of the most vibrant in Edinburgh, but now area is now just home to charity shops, pawnbrokers and a few chain stores.
Despite its challenges, Newkirkgate, which was rebuilt 20 years ago, is still surviving and even doing well according to some locals, while others compare it to a zombie apocalypse.
