Police are investigating after a man's body was found in the basement of a block of flats in Edinburgh's west end.

A member of the public discovered the body in Manor Place, close to its junction with West Maitland Street, on Saturday morning.

He appealed for anyone with any information that could assist officers in their inquiries to contact them.
