Fast and Furious 9 in Edinburgh: Eagle-eyed locals spot suspected supercars hidden under tarps

You have probably noticed by now that filming is underway for Fast and Furious 9 in Edinburgh.

But there has been a distinct lack of high-speed cars considering it is a film franchise about illegal street racing...until now.

Eagle-eyed locals have spotted what they suspect are supercars hidden under tarp, on stand-by to be used in the film.

Supercars have been spotted on the Royal Mile and Ramsay Lane (YouTube)

Peter Fraser shared one photo of two cars underwraps outside St Giles' Cathedral on the Royal Mile today, where parts of the street are shut off.

Elsewhere, a video has been uploaded to YouTube showing clips of two impressive blue cars on Ramsay Lane, next to The Mound. 

So far, residents have caught hair-raising stunts, with actors jumping out of windows and off buses and plunging from bridges.

Famous faces have also started to pop up, with Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel sharing photos of her dog donning a tartan bandanna outside the National Galleries.

Meanwhile, Tyrese Gibson has been getting involved in some age-old Edinburgh traditions, spitting on the iconic Heart of Midlothian - which is meant to bring good luck.
