A Ukrainian refugee who has been homed by a generous local family has spoken of her delight at her new life in the capital.
But despite having nothing but praise for the family who have given her a home, Julia, who wishes to go by her first name, says the Homes for Ukraine programme was a slow and complicated process.
Julia, 24, comes from Chernigiv, a city in northern Ukraine. She told Edinburgh Live of her harrowing journey to gaining her new life in Scotland. She said: “My family and I were staying in my home town for two weeks and all of the sudden the city started getting bombed especially at night since it is pretty close to the border with Russia.”
