It's always fascinating to see Edinburgh through the lens of a visitor, but even more so when said visitor arrived in the city more than 60 years ago.
In the early 1960s amateur American photographer Charles Weever Cushman (1896-1972) visited Scotland's capital and captured dozens of colour images documenting what he saw.
Mr Cushman, an alumnus of Indiana University spent his later years travelling the world with his trusty Kodachrome camera and took to Edinburgh's streets in June 1961.

The fascinating photographs feature a range of familiar city sights around the Old and New Towns of the city, as well as plenty places off the beaten track, such as the Dumbiedykes and Cramond Beach.

Before his death in 1972, Mr Cushman bequeathed his entire collection of photographs - approximately 14,500 Kodachrome slides - to Indiana University. The images are available to view online at the Indiana University Archives website.
