Tilda Swinton poses with security at popular Edinburgh city centre bar

Actress Tilda Swinton has been pictured at a popular Edinburgh bar and nightclub as she posed with a lucky member of staff.

The 62-year-old, who was born in London but has lived in Scotland for more than two decades, stopped for a picture with a member of security at CC Blooms, a popular LGBT bar and nightclub in the city centre.

Aaron, the member of staff who asked Tilda for a photo, was all smiles as his employers, DIMA Group Services uploaded the picture to their Instagram account before the bar shared it themselves.

They said: "Aaron met Tilda Swinton at @ccbloomsbar who kindly posed for a photo with our security. A perk of the job is celebrity spotting!"

In 2020, The New York Times ranked her as one of the greatest actors of the 21st century. The actress currently lives Nairn with her two children and partner Sandro Kopp. Having lived in the country for two decades, Tilda formerly resided in the Scottish Borders.
