A former Edinburgh city centre pub is set to be transformed into an American-style bar and restaurant.
Coyote Ugly plans to open its first Scottish 'saloon' in the unit previously known as Shandwicks, on South Charlotte Street.
Proposals have been submitted to the council on behalf Coyote Ugly UK Ltd for new signage after Shandwicks closed suddenly nearly a year ago, on July 6.
The boozer was known for its lively atmosphere and discount drinks as locals were left gutted following the closure.
Coyote Ugly currently has chains in major UK cities such as London, Cardiff, Liverpool and Birmingham. The western bar is known for its focus on 'girl power' with staff often dancing on the bar.
Bars are also known for having live music and an extensive food menu consisting of burgers, nachos and wings.
Edinburgh has also been listed as one of the locations online, with more details to be revealed in due course. Their website says: "Coyote Ugly Edinburgh is coming in hot.
"This is the bar where the girls run the show - and you're invited to the front row."
Typical saloon-style signage is set to be installed outside the ground floor unit as drawings were submitted to the council. A planning document confirmed: "The scheme is basically the removal of the existing signage and replacement of new in the same locations.
"There is to be no physical changes to the original fabric of the listed building, all changes are reversible and installed so as not to be detrimental to the original structure."
