An abandoned Edinburgh Princes Street building is set to be turned into a multi-storey Starbucks café.
The City of Edinburgh Council has validated an application which would see 118 Princes Street, on the corner of Castle Street, converted into the café with first floor views of the castle itself.
The building, which currently lays empty, was formerly a HSBC bank before being put on the market once again. In terms of the alterations, the historic element of the building comes into play having been built during the late 18th century.
