Time warp home video of Edinburgh shows how much city has changed since 1970s

A tourist's eye view of Edinburgh as it was in the early 1970s has been unearthed and made available online.

The fascinating home video was filmed on Kodachrome Super 8mm by a tourist and shows various familiar sights around the capital, including Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile and Princes Street.

Mostly captured from the passenger seat of a moving car, the film, which was uploaded to YouTube earlier this month by the Picture House channel, begins in Fife where we are taken across an eerily quiet Forth Road Bridge and into Edinburgh on what looks to be a misty morning.
