A historic Union Street jeweller opens the doors to its brand new showroom today.
Jamieson & Carry will welcome customers to their grand opening, which sees a revamped store that has doubled in size.
The family-owned business is now home to a Rolex showroom and an expanded new Patek Philippe area.
To support the expansion, 9 full-time and part-time positions have been created.

A team at Rolex has been heavily involved in designing their area of the store, while the Patek Philippe showroom is the largest of its kind in Scotland.
This follows a £4.5 million investment in city centre presence, with the store now incorporating 142 and 136 Union Street.
To celebrate the opening the first 250 guests received a welcome gift of macarons from local patisserie Almondine.
Founded in 1733, the business famed for its Swiss watches is a prominent site in the heart of Union Street.
