Martin Compston has treated fans to a story about a funny but intimidating meeting he had with Sir Sean Connery in the capital.
The Line of Duty star attended a dinner at Edinburgh Castle alongside the late Mr Connery who made the night slightly, and hilariously, award for one poor chef, reports Glasgow Live.
The Scottish actor detailed the evening in the capital in the latest episode of the Restless Natives podcast, hosted by himself and Gordon Smart. Compston reflected on the night, telling listeners that the James Bond actor had special "presence about him" before sharing a memory he clearly holds fondly.

Speaking on his Restless Natives podcast, he said: "I was at a dinner once with him at Edinburgh Castle and it was one of them ones where the Chef comes out and describes the meal, and Sean is standing at the front.
"This poor lad is going 'This is a big honour from me in terms of where I've started'' and you just hear him [Sean] go 'Ah for f*** just get on with the f****** story son and serve the food' as the podcast hosts and guests laughed about the funny but 'intimidating' moment."
"This poor five star Michelin chef in front of you just crumbling whilst he's going through a menu with Sean rolling his eyes at you. He's an intimidating big guy", the Mayflies actor added.
