The area around Greenside in Edinburgh has witnessed enormous changes since the Imperial Hotel was welcoming guests.
For well over a century, the 75-bedroom hotel, which was sited at 143 Leith Street, had an air of elegance that gradually faded away as the decades wore on.
Occupying a handsome Georgian tenement block designed by architect William Hamilton Beattie, the hotel had once been one of the swankiest places to stay in the city.
