Fed-up residents on one of Scotland's most 'instagrammable' streets have expressed their dismay at the influx of tourists who flock to the small cobbled lane for pictures.
Circus Lane in Edinburgh's Stockbridge has seen a rise in popularity over the last five years - due to social media - with people visiting the street to take selfies and pictures in the beautiful surroundings.
The classic cobbles, greenery and cottage-style homes make it a must-visit for exploring tourists and seasoned capital veterans, reports Edinburgh Live.
Some residents in the street do get frustrated by the attention, although they understand their street is very beautiful. Locals claim to having been tutted at by photographers and being left to clean up litter left behind by sightseers.
Charles Montgomery has lived on the street for 30 years and has seen this rise in activity on the other side of his front door first hand.

Elvis Costello and Rod Stewart Spar Online Over Rough Shows, Receding Hairlines and Royalty
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIn the unlikely rock-star mini-feuds department, Elvis Costello and Rod Stewart — who decades ago had discussions about making an album together — renewed what seems to be a frenemy-ship in recent days. They’ve tangled on social media in a humorously feisty way over what Costello considered to be a botched royal performance by Stewart, and what Stewart considers to be an unbecoming hairline on Costello’s part.According to the Daily Mirror (which Costello additionally took on… because hating the Daily Mirror is one thing almost all music stars can agree on), Costello took a few moments in a Glasgow show to get in a little dig at Stewart, who’s known as a major booster of Scottish soccer.
