Pride Edinburgh returns to the capital this weekend with the city set to be packed with thousands of marchers donning rainbow colours.
The 2019 event will see scores of people march in the city in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, and to campaign for global equality.
The event, which is called the 2019 Pride Scotia March, will kick off on Saturday morning at the Scottish Parliament.
Marchers will assemble there at around 11.30am before speeches start around half an hour later from atop a special Lothian Buses double decker – decked out in Pride colours.
The march will then head off at around 12.30pm.
So what route will it take?
After leaving the Scottish Parliament they will head north before turning left towards Canongate. Marchers will then head along the road before making their way onto High Street.
There will be a left turn at Lawnmarket Junction before marchers head onto George IV Bridge, and continuing along the bridge, before going left in Bristo Place.
Around 45 minutes into the march they will lively arrive at Potterow before going right on Crichton Street.
Then, after turning right into Charles Field, the march will arrive at the EUSA Campus, the site of the Pride Edinburgh 2019: This is Me festival.
Pride Edinburgh adds it is "indebted to the City of Edinburgh Council, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service East and additional city partners for making the Pride Scotia March a reality".
