A look at the Balmoral hotel, a 10-storey Gothic pile, rising up across the Edinburgh skyline as a much-cherished landmark. Currently celebrating 117 years of welcoming guests through its doors, this symbol of wealth and power from a bygone era has played host to everyone from royalty to the mega-stars of the stage and screen.
