Some will be a little disappointed to learn that Edinburgh is not expected to see snow this week, but it’s certainly going to feel chilly with plenty of frosty mornings and freezing nights forecast by the Met Office.
More’s the pity, perhaps, as our picture-postcard city looks even more beautiful with a dusting of the white stuff. Take a look through our photo gallery to see some 21 snowy images of Auld Reekie from the 1950s onwards.
