Stickers declaring 'white lives matter' and 'it's okay to be white' have blanketed parts of Morningside recently, with one woman deciding to take matters into her own hands.
A local woman shared an image of the stickers she found on Colinton Road, before deciding just to remove as many as she could.
The "white lives matter" slogan has been associated with far-right groups, and was adopted by neo-Nazis, according to the BNP.
The sticker appear similar to ones which appeared in Perth in December 2019 which were condemned by Deputy First Minister John Swinney at the time.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, the local woman who found the stickers said: "I was pretty shocked when I first saw the stickers. And then I thought, ‘if you live in a racist society, you can’t be surprised that there is racism in your neighbourhood’.
"I was glad that there was something I could do – I took down all I could (more than 20) and reported it to the City Council and my community council, who logged it with the community police team.
"It’s not much, but I would urge anyone who sees things like this to do the same. If we want our society to be better, we have to step up as individuals."

Local Edinburgh South MP Ian Murray, whose constituency includes Morningside, thanked the resident for removing them.
He told Edinburgh Live: “We can’t pretend that Scotland is immune from hatred and intolerance.
“Thank you to the local resident who took the time to remove all these offensive stickers.
“We all have a duty to take a stand against racism.”
