A harsh reality check for Edinburgh and the Lothians locals has been issued after the release of a new climate change map.
The terrifying map shows large parts of The Shore which are set to be swallowed up by the sea in just 29 years.
The study by Climate Central shows - in incredible detail - which specific areas will be underwater if predictions come true.
The global sea level has been rising over the past century with soaring temperatures causing glaciers to rapidly melt and lead to further coastal erosion.
Areas covered in red on the map are expected to be engulfed by sea water - and it makes for a chilling site.
Iconic locations that could be affected include Ocean Terminal, the Shore and almost all of Musselburgh - currently the site of thousands of homes and businesses.
The sea water will also take out Seafield Road, including Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home, as well as several car dealerships, Matalan and Seafield recycling centre.
If projections are correct, it seems Musselburgh in East Lothian is set to be almost wiped from the map, with around 50% of the coastal town marked in red.
East Lothian's coastal areas of North Berwick, Belhaven, Dunbar, East Linton and the Torness Nuclear Power Station all look at risk as well.
Climate Central is an independent group of scientists and communicators who research and report the facts about the changing climate and how it affects people’s lives.
A statement on its website reads: "Climate Central’s Program on Sea Level Rise strives to provide accurate, clear and granular information about sea level rise and coastal flood hazards both locally and globally, today and tomorrow.
"Anchored in rigorous primary research, our work distinguishes itself by its user-friendly maps and tools, extensive datasets, and high-quality visual presentation.
"The program dedicates its efforts to helping citizens, communities, businesses, organisations, and governments at every level to understand the consequences of different carbon pathways and to navigate the shifting waters of our warming world."
