An ornate urn containing ashes was found in the back of an Edinburgh taxi, with police trying to trace the owners.

The urn, contained inside a small velvet box with a metal clipper, was found in the back of a black cab at 2am on Sunday, April 30.

Almost four months later, no one has come to claim the item, leading to Police Scotland to appeal for its rightful owners to come forward.

It is described as being dark grey and white in colour.

The owners have been asked to attend at the lost property department at Fettes Police Station.
