A candle supplier has been refused the go ahead for a sign above a shop in Dalkeith High Street after its aluminium base was branded "unworthy" of the town centre.
Mr Melts applied for permission to install the two metre wide white sign above the door of a former opticians in a Listed Building on the street.
However Midlothian planners said the proposal did not reflect the traditional features of the area's shop fronts and demanded a more traditional approach.
