Plans to restore one of Leith's most historic buildings and re-open it as a community and creative hub have been given the go ahead by Edinburgh City Council.
The £15 million project which will aim to breathe new life into the Shore's A-listed Custom House was signed-off despite anger over the decision to abandon the originally-intended use as a museum dedicated to the history of Leith.
And there were warnings that any move to sell the building in the future could see it become "a Wetherspoons".
