Youngsters at Rosyth Sharks Rugby Club were given a coaching treat when two stars from the capital shared their tips as professional players.
Edinburgh Rugby paid a visit to Harley Street, with senior players Harri Morris, who plays at hooker, and centre, Charlie McCaig, in tow.
One of Scotland's two pro teams, alongside Glasgow Warriors, Edinburgh compete in the United Rugby Championship, and boast a squad containing the likes of Scotland internationals Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham.
Last year, Sharks launched a youth section of the club, and have been regularly welcomed between 40-50 boys and girls, aged between 5-16 year-olds.
Some of them enjoyed a coaching masterclass from Morris and McCaig, and David Reynolds, who leads Rosyth's programme for up-and-coming players, said: "It's great to be able to have that grassroots touch with Edinburgh Rugby, and have professional players come and visit us.
"The kids enjoyed it. They love to see these role models, as it were, grown men, playing rugby. They all enjoyed it. It was great.
"This is where they started. Grassroots rugby is where everybody starts. There's nobody that's just born into professional rugby, so, for them to see people that they can relate to, and see how far they've made it, is a great idea.
"The plan is for everybody to go on and make it. Obviously, we know it's not the case, but, as long as they enjoy their rugby, and if one of them makes it, and enjoys themselves, then that's brilliant."
Gregor Wightman, a community assistant with Edinburgh Rugby, commented: "Edinburgh Rugby's a big community club, and we do a lot in bringing clubs into our space, and into Murrayfield. We always bring players out to our community clubs and things like that.
"The ultimate goal is to inspire kids, and get kids more involved in the game.
"Clubs like Rosyth, that have only been up and running for six, eight months, if it's something that can inspire more kids to want to go out and play rugby because they've met some of their potential idols, or people that are playing in similar positions, that have came from similar situations to them, it's beneficial for them and the wider game of rugby.
"Ultimately, we want more people playing rugby. If we can do that by inspiring from the bottom, from grassroots, P1,2 and 3s, is a great place to start.
"Then, there's some older kids who are a bit more developed in rugby, and have maybe played for other clubs, or school or whatever, it's just another way to get out the house, and spend a nice evening."
