Portobello in Edinburgh has been voted the UK's best neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood shined in the UK and Ireland category at the 2020 Urbanism Awards after judges were won over by Porty's community spirit.
The seaside suburb fought off competition from fellow finalists Levenshulme in Manchester and South Bank in Leeds.
Cllr Maureen Child collected the award on behalf of the city on Wednesday.
The award is one of five awarded by The Academy of Urbanism, a network of built environment experts from across Europe.
The theme of this year’s Urbanism Awards is ‘inclusivity’ and welcomed nominations from places that demonstrate the value of diversity and illustrate the power of good urbanism to bring people together.
