Edinburgh has thrown its hat into the ring to host the Eurovision song contest in 2023, due to the uncertainty in Ukraine.
Coming out on top this year, Ukraine were naturally given a double boost, as they would be next in line to host the popular competition.
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing conflict with Russia, the country has been forced to give up the prospect of hosting Eurovision, due to factors surrounding public safety.

As the UK's Sam Ryder wowed the nation and came out with a second-place finish, Britain are next in line to find a venue if Ukraine can not.
After speculation over Ukraine's position circulated, people around the UK were buzzing with the prospect of the contest being held on home turf, with several Scottish venues being touted as possible destinations, including Edinburgh.
Edinburgh Tory MSP Miles Briggs certainly seemed to be onboard the hype train, taking to Twitter to say that he had written to the Government's Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC, to state a claim for the capital's name to be put in the hat.
He added: "It is understandable that sadly Ukraine cannot plan to host Eurovision 2023. Edinburgh successfully hosted the 17th Eurovision Song Contest in 1972. Edinburgh and Kyiv have been sister cities for over 30 years and would be the perfect UK city to host the 2023 contest.
"I have today written to @GOVUK @NadineDorries Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC to make the positive case for consideration to be given to Edinburgh hosting Eurovision 2023."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has also spoken out about the exciting prospect, saying that she too agrees that Scotland should be in with a shout, although Ms Sturgeon appears to favour Glasgow as a possible location, with the city being home to multiple established music venues.
Back in 1972, Edinburg hosted the contest in the Usher Hall. With a capacity of 2,200, the venue may be beautiful, but not suitable for a modern contest.
Located in the outskirts of the city, the Royal Highland Centre right next to Edinburg Airport could also be an option. Officially, Ingliston is the town where you can find this multi-purpose terrain. The Highland Hall there has a capacity of 10,500.
