A video has given an incredible behind-the-scenes look at Edinburgh's King's Theatre as it undergoes a series of renovations.
Currently closed to the public to allow for the restoration of the building, which was first constructed in 1906, a clip shared by Capital Theatres staff has given a look at some unusual features.
Shared as part of a ‘heritage take over day’, staff took a tour of the stage and other rooms most audience members will never get to see.

Searching for some unique heritage items, the video panned around from the stalls to behind the stage, which was seen to stretch back for some distance.
The centre of the stage was also piled high with old props and items that had collected in the theatre, one of which was shown to be a rotating mechanical shoe.

As well as panning in on some of the detailed sculptures surrounding the stage, the video also featured a restricted access room filled with lighting controls, as well as a small balcony towering above the stage itself.
With many parts of the theatre still there from its original construction, the clip also showed a 100-year-old oak beam runner which would have been used by those operating curtains and lighting.
Earlier this year, a crowdfunding appeal was launched to help finish the restoration of the theatre, after Capital Theatres announced a funding gap was putting the site at risk of permanent closure.
Initially expected to cost £25million, the organisation said that inflation and "changing trading agreements" meant that the project would end up costing around 20 per cent more.
