There are plans to honour the man killed in an accident on Leith Walk this week with a special memorial bench and plaque.
The family of Andrew Malcolm are looking to raise £2000 in order to pay for a fitting tribute to the "dearly loved" father.
The 62-year-old died after being hit by a HGV and Vauxhall Astra near Newkirkgate Shopping Centre at around 1.10pm on Tuesday.
A GoFundMe page was set up by Samantha Riordan on Wednesday and, at the time of writing, around £250 had so far been raised.
The page stated: "As most people know Andrew Malcolm's life was sadly cut short after being in a fatal accident. Andrew's family are looking to get some donations, however big or small, to contribute towards getting him a tribute bench made with a plaque.
"Any sort of donation would be a big impact on holping get this together for Andrew.
"Thanks to everyone for their ongoing support to Andrew's family and friends, we all appreciate your kind words."
