Images have given an inside look into one of Edinburgh's worst hoarder houses, that was only abandoned in the last couple of years.
Recently condemned at a point between 2020-21, the one-bedroom property had been allowed to get into a completely 'unliveable' condition.
Captured on film by a local photographer, the house is seen covered in dirt and filth, with unusual items crammed in all manner of places.

Littered with rubbish and clutter, the property appears as if it has been derelict for decades, however it was only condemned during the pandemic, according to the Record.
Shot by urban explorer Grant Vincent, the pictures taken inside the property include dilapidated typewriters, ornaments and food tins, as well as an old wooden piano covered in cobwebs.
According to the photographer, the now empty house had been inhabited by a local teacher, who had sadly let the place fall into disarray.
Appearing well to the outside world, it was only when social services made a visit to the home that the true extent of the hoarding was discovered.

Removing both the female teacher and her pets from the property, the house was then condemned due to its uninhabitable environment.
A bed was found in the attic and a caravan in the garage, where the woman was believed to have been sleeping as the house became more cluttered.
"No one really knew she was living like that or for how long," said Grant.
"She was physically fit and healthy.
As the main house became uninhabitable room by room she eventually moved into the area at the back of the house.
"The property was only 'abandoned' late 2020-early 2021 after social services did a welfare check and discovered the horrific conditions she was living in and immediately removed her from the property and placed her in a home.
"The house was condemned, deemed unfit for habitation.
"Walking around was quite difficult as the floors were extremely cluttered.
"You could tell the person was a hoarder.
"The more I looked though, I began to spot some pretty interesting items, which can be seen in the photos. I tried to capture what this person's life would have been like and the interests they had."
