Archaeologists have unearthed an underground network of rare wooden water pipes in Scotland dating back more than 250 years.
The 15 pipes formed part of an aqueduct built in 1756 to supply drinking water to Edinburgh's wealthiest residents.
Archaeologists said the 'surprisingly well preserved' find provides insight into the Scottish capital's first dedicated water supply.
