With lockdown restrictions easing this weekend, you might be looking for somewhere to head out and enjoy time outside.
And with so much history right on your doorstep, there are plenty of areas of Edinburgh you could head to that you might not think about.
In and around Edinburgh there are over 30 abandoned or disused rail stations, some with fascinating sights just waiting to be rediscovered by locals.
We've put together a list of some below that have caught our attention, as well as some of the most surprising former rail stations in the capital.
The lists includes one in Leith which is now a soft play centre, and some which local groups would love to see be put to use once more.
Scroll down to see the list, and if your favourite isn't here then let us know about it in the comments.
Abbeyhill railway station
Opened in May 1869, Abbeyhill station served trains on several local services before it was closed almost a century later in 1964.
Only one sad-looking platform remains, but it is largely hidden from view due to overgrown weeds. Despite the platforms remaining, there is no plans for it to return to use.
You can see more pictures of the station here.
Bonnington Railway Station
Bonnington Railway station opened in 1846, finally closing to passengers in June 1947 and freight in 1968.
Parts of the railway are still distinguishable along the cycle path, with a playground occupying part of the area and a Tesco on another part of the line.
Meadowbank Stadium railway station
Meadowbank Stadium railway station was opened in June 1986, primarily to help people get back and forth to the stadium during the Commonwealth Games.
The shuttle ran from Edinburgh Waverley every 20 minutes for those travelling to see the games. The ticket cost 50p.
It remained in use until 1998, and since then the tracks have been lifted and only a few signs of the station remain.
Corstorphine railway station
Another station closed in 1968, Corstorphine Station was part of the south sub network that some campaign groups want to see reopened.
Houses now sit on the site of the former station.
Balgreen Halt railway station
Balgreen Halt railway station, which now has a tram stop opposite the original site, opened in 1934 before closing again in 1968.
The Balerno Loop
You can find many signs of the old Balerno loop on the cycle path which has now replaced it.
At some old stations, relics of the railway remain standing such as the station masters house at Balerno.
The remains of the tracks are still visible, if overgrown, at Ravelrig junction, whilst the platforms at Currie are no longer visible.
Leith Central Railway Station
Leith Central Railway Station was one of the larger stations in Edinburgh, and The Central Bar is usually open at the site of the former station - but is currently closed due to coronavirus.
You can still see some signs of the building's history, if you look carefully.
