Images have emerged of one of Edinburgh’s lost villages that was lost to demolition decades ago.
A hub on the banks of the Water of Leith, Slateford village was once a thriving community before it was torn down in the 1950s.
Compromising of a number of different tenements and businesses, the view along Inglis Green Road appears very different today to how it is now.

With hundreds of families residing in the area, the rows of stone houses and flats were eventually torn down to make way for new construction in the area.
An aerial image taken from the Union Canal viaduct shows some of the last remaining parts of the village, with one building already beginning to be torn down.
Looking along Inglis Green Road towards Lanark Road and the iconic CrossKeys pub, vintage buses can also be seen heading through the remnants of the village.

Just a few years later the landscape of Slateford Village would be changed once again, with some of the last standing buildings being torn down to allow the road to be widened.
In the decades that followed a number of new sites have popped up where the village once sat, including a smaller block of flats, a bowling club and the likes of Bookers Wholesalers, Sainsbury's and B&Q.
Today, the only remains still standing is the CrossKeys pub, with the adjoining building currently undergoing a huge renovation into plush luxury flats.
