The board game's maker Winning Moves UK also said there is a good chance the traditional Scottie dog playing piece will be tweaked to resemble Edinburgh's beloved Greyfriars Bobby. The special edition of the popular board game will take players around the Scottish capital as they gobble up property, get put in jail and financially ruin family members at Christmas. The tokens will be customised for the first time in Scotland and will all be dedicated to Edinburgh. It follows the original 1998 Edinburgh edition, which was the first Monopoly board themed around a UK city outside of London. Since the first Edinburgh edition 20 years ago, several versions based on other Scottish cities have been released, including Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and - most recently - Stirling.

Amongst the tokens could be a bust of Edinburgh's most famous son Sir Sean Connery - or perhaps the first woman to sit in Bute House, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Mr Thompson added: "We are expecting to be very spoilt for choice for landmarks to fill this board. It will be the first time a Scottish city has received the honour of its own tokens as well as its own board.
