The Edinburgh Job! Car ends-up teetering on steep steps after taking a wrong turn in historic Old Town

It is a notoriously difficult city centre in which to find a parking spot.

But this unfortunate driver took a wrong turn on a side street right beside Edinburgh Castle on Tuesday night.

The car came to a halt on Castle Wynd North teetering on the edge of a steep set of steps.

Onlookers included the Governor of Edinburgh Castle, Alastair Bruce, who shared the image to social media.

It is unclear how the driver of the red Mitsubishi Colt managed to mistake the steps for a road, but their vehicle was recovered.

Mr Bruce shared the snaps to social media with the caption: ‘Oh dear. Outside of Edinburgh Castle just now, reminds me of the Italian Job car chase, gone wrong.’

Alice Clarke responded: ‘I realise that parking is difficult in Edinburgh, but that’s getting very creative.’
