Edinburgh's first-ever female police driver and a trailblazer for gender equality in policing revisited her old beat, 70 years after first donning the uniform.

Mary d'Arcy Kincaid, 91, began her career as a PC with Edinburgh City Police in 1953 and worked in the city's Southside.

In 1956, she broke down gender barriers by applying to be trained as a police driver and was accepted onto the course.
