Watch this Edinburgh fox saunter past commuters on its regular morning stroll towards a city park

It's not an uncommon sight in this part of Edinburgh...

But one particularly casual fox appears to be unfazed by human presence during its regular early morning city strolls.

Evening News reporter Conor Matchett captured a video of the animal at about 5:30am on Monday morning as it ambled towards King George V Park, which is located between the New Town and Canonmills.

Conor posted the video on twitter alongside a few words: "This is King George the Canonmills fox who I see every morning I am on early shifts. He is so named due to the nearby park I assume is his kingdom.

The fox as it ambles towards King George V Park.

"Always polite, he politely gives me a wide berth as he ambles past."

In the video, the fox can be seen walking along the kerb before stopping while a taxi passes. The animal continues on and pauses to look at the camera before swerving around Conor and a parked car and wandering on towards the park.
