The charity Bowel Cancer UK is urging more people locals in Edinburgh to be aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Around 4,000 of the 44,000 people in the UK diagnosed with bowel cancer are from Scotland.
As part of their campaign the charity invited people to walk inside a giant inflatable bowel to try to raise awareness of the symptoms.
