As those of a certain vintage will remember, Christmas in Edinburgh was a little different back in the 1950s to how it is today.
For starters, there was no online shopping, so locals had to wrap up warm and hoof it to the city centre to buy their loved ones presents.
Another familiar site was that of delivery boys, who would run around the Capital, ensuring packages arrived in time for Christmas Day.
Just like today, however, many Edinburghers marked the festive season with house parties, family meals and trips to see Santa.
