The images, on bags and brochures at yesterday's launch, show a selection of images in the French Toile de Jouy tradition, but instead of rural French scenery, they show modern urban vignettes, like a double decker bus beside some roadworks, a homeless man sleeping rough outside St Giles Cathedral and most controversially two men vomiting and urinating on Greyfriars Bobby's statue.

That is why the politicians were complaining ...
It sounds like Edinburgh got off likely, as the first design they did was for Glasgow, which featured 'crack addicts, prostitutes and the homeless are depicted against a forbidding backdrop of dilapidated tower blocks and scavenging seagulls.'
