We always love to see retro photos of Edinburgh from back in the day, but it's even better when the pictures are moving.
But while the capital has been a popular tourist destination for decades, footage of people's vacations to the city don't crop up as often as you might think.
That's why we at Edinburgh Live were delighted to come across this superb footage of a trip to Auld Reekie captured in 1982.

It starts off at a noticeably different Edinburgh Turnhouse Airport, where our intrepid visitors have just landed, before heading into town eastbound along Glasgow Road.
Mostly captured through the front windscreen of the vehicle the tourist was travelling in, the grainy Super 8 footage gives us a nostalgic look at the sights of the city centre, including Shandwick Place, Princes Street, and the Royal Mile.

One of the first things we notice - other than the fact you could still drive along Princes Street in 1982 - is that the film was probably made on a Saturday as the town is positively heaving. Throngs of shoppers can be seen crossing the street at Jenners department store, and there's a large crowd of folk outside the Balmoral Hotel - which at that time was still covered in soot and called the North British Hotel.
Colourful displays on the flagpoles along Princes Street also suggest that the film was made during the Edinburgh Festival. Just months earlier, in May 1982, huge crowds had gathered the length of the city's main thoroughfare to witness the procession of Pope John Paul II.
Look closely and you might even spot some roadworks on Princes Street - something that definitely hasn't changed in the 40 years since, though it is worth noting that the two men working on the road are without hard hats.
The fascinating footage, which has been uploaded by YouTuber Arch Stanton, also records scenes from inside the walls of Edinburgh Castle, before taking us down the Royal Mile to St Giles Cathedral and John Knox House. The one-and-a-half minute clip ends with an exterior shot of the neoclassical Dundas House in St Andrew Square.
