During one of the hottest weekends of the year so far and a bank holiday too - you would expect the pubs to be swarming with cheerful punters out enjoying a pint in the sun.
But not this local boozer, the large outdoor area of this Edinburgh pub looked empty, bar hundreds of buzzing yet unwanted guests.
The Morningside bar and restaurant was captured being plagued by hoards of wasps over Jubilee weekend in some skin crawling footage.

Between Friday June 3 and Sunday June 5 Edinburgh residents were treated to some glorious bright blue skies and warm temperatures.
Many locals were lucky enough to have the bank holiday weekend off to celebrate 70 years of Queen Elizabeth being on the throne.
In true Scottish fashion most punters would have headed out to the pubs for some refreshing beverages outdoors.
But unfortunately for Morningside residents one of their local pubs was taken over by a swarm of pests over the weekend.
The Merlin, a Greene King branch had clouds of the stinging critters buzzing outside in the sunny weather.
A passerby shot the footage and shared it to social media site TikTok captioned: "A swarm of wasps chilling outside a pub in Edinburgh!"

Adding: "I'm so glad I was on the other side" as the social media user filmed safely from the passenger seat in a passing car.
The creepy video has been viewed over 700 times, and reportedly the yellow and black stingers have been quite the talking point in the area.
Edinburgh Live reported on the strange ongoing incident at the pub over the weekend, when one resident told us: “This is happening right now outside the Merlin in Morningside, Edinburgh.
"They have been swarming up and down the road causing havoc.”
Greene King who manage the Merlin Pub in Morningside have been contacted for more information about the wasps.
