Footage was captured of an award-winning singer in Edinburgh city centre leaving fans starstruck.
Grammy winner Billie Eilish was seen entering a car near The Balmoral on Princes Street ahead of her sold-out gigs in Glasgow.
We previously reported she dined at local vegan restaurant, Sora Diana, on Causewayside, for some pasta and garlic bread.
Known for her hit songs BIRDS OF A FEATHER, What was I Made For? and Happier Than Ever, the singer was enjoying some down time in the capital.
A short clip was posted online of the star with many fans gutted they missed the chance to catch sight of her.
The video was captioned: "Bro my mom saw Billie in Scotland and didn't tell me. So unfair oh my days."
The clip collected over 90,000 views and hundreds of comments.
One fan said: "THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE".
Another commented: "So this was less than five minutes from my hotel but I didn't see her."
A third added: "BILLIE WAS IN EDINBURGH. I would've been in town on that day, but I am stuck in the house."
Billie was performing in Glasgow on July 7 and 8 with thousands of fans descending to the OVO Hydro for the sold-out gigs.
The owners of Edinburgh's Sora Diana shared their delight over the singers surprise visit to their restaurant.
They wrote online: "Thank you @BILLIE EILISH for choosing Sora Diana to dine at before your concert in Glasgow, you've made us happier than ever.
"What did the nine-time Grammy winner order you may ask? She had the garlic focaccia with blu burrata to share then our spicy penne all'arrabbiata for main!
"Visit us at 19-21 Causewayside, Edinburgh, EH9 1QF, to try our superstar vegan dishes!"
