“Great fun to film and OMG what a popular show… I love chatting to so many of our American guests who have seen the show and looked us up because of it.

“Just wonderful seeing tourists and visitors in Edinburgh again supporting the many amazing hospitality businesses in Scotland. We’ve missed you all.”

It comes less than two weeks after Sam Heughan was previously seen in the capital after the star took part in the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride.

Raising awareness of prostate cancer, the actor sent many fans into frenzy after he rode into the city on a motorcycle.

Fans flocked to complement the Scots actor with one writing "Honestly, should Harrison Ford ever pass the mantle of Indiana Jones on to someone - I hope, with all fingers and toes crossed - it’s you that gets it!"
