A popular Edinburgh Old Town pub has been transformed as filming gets underway in the city.
Temporary signage has been installed above the entrance to The Oz Bar on Candlemaker Row, with workers in high-vis vests also seen outside and at the front door.
It comes following a wave of activity in various locations within the city in recent days as camera crews descended on the capital as it looks, yet again, to play a big part in an upcoming movie.
Large gold signage in another language has appeared on the pub's frontage, with graffiti in what appears to be the same style also spray painted on the wall opposite and above doors on the narrow street.
It remains unclear what movie or TV show has prompted the transformation at The Oz Bar, though it comes after Warner Bros trucks and crews were spotted nearby.

On Monday, June 9, several vans and trucks were pictured on West and South College Street. Crews appeared to be setting up ahead of what could be days of filming in the area according to no parking sign.
Earlier on Monday, we told how a superfan camped out for 15 hours after getting word Hollywood A-lister Samuel L. Jackson was in town for a new JJ Abrams movie, which saw the same Warner Bros truck captured in the background.
Jackson is understood be in the capital filming a project named Ghost Writer. Cast and crew for the movie were on Candlemaker Row over the weekend.
The cast is said to include Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey and Samuel L. Jackson. Warner Bros have kept details for the movie under wraps, though it appears to be a sci-fi.
