  14. A city street scene cordoned off by emergency services on a sunny day. Blue-and-white police tape stretches across the foreground, blocking the road. Behind the tape, a marked police van with high-visibility red and yellow chevrons and the word “POLICE” is parked on the left, next to an ambulance response car with yellow and green markings. A modern tram in bright blue and pink livery is stopped on tracks running through the middle of the street. The street is lined with multi-storey stone buildings featuring rows of windows, chimneys, and ground-floor shops, including signs such as “The Leith Walk Gallery” and “Greet the Ch…” (partially obscured). Overhead tram wires and poles run along the street. A few pedestrians are visible on the pavement behind the cordon, and some people can be seen further up the road near the emergency vehicles. The sky is clear blue with scattered clouds, and strong sunlight casts long shadows across the pavement and road surface. Yellow road markings and tactile paving are visible in the foreground near the blocked crossing. The scene suggests an active incident with the area restricted for safety.
