A controversial tram system planned for Scotland's capital city is officially back on track, it has been announced.
Sections of track have arrived in Edinburgh's Princes Street where they will be laid later in June.
The £500million trams project nearly went off the rails in February in a row over funding.
The dispute was resolved four weeks later and work then began to prepare the ground for the track-laying.
Steven Bell, director of the tram project, said: "This is what people have been waiting for and will give reassurance, not just to those in the city centre but across Edinburgh.
"This section of the work is also the first opportunity for residents and visitors to Edinburgh to see what the final infrastructure will look like on this innovative and ambitious project."
The track was transported to Princes Street from a storage area in Leith.
Edinburgh's transport convener Gordon Mackenzie said: "This is an extremely significant milestone for the Edinburgh tram project."
