The Edinburgh bar frozen in time and looking exactly the same as 120 years ago

Edinburgh's rich history is apparent the moment you walk down the Royal Mile and see the stunning buildings you'll find there.

However, as with most Scottish cities, the humble pub was always the centre of the community, a place to catch up and swap stories and in the capital, there are a few that haven't changed much in the 100 or so years since they were first built.

One in particular, Bennets Bar on Leven Street has origins as a watering hole dating all the way back to the late 1830s, however, the current bar, which has retained much of its original character, was only built just under 120 years ago in 1906.
