Live in Marchmont? Want to be on TV, and have a home-swap holiday

BBC One are looking for people who live in interesting homes in Marchmont and across Edinburgh and would be happy to try a home swap holiday for a new TV series.

It could be anything from a charming cottage, a period house, to a modern apartment!

IF SO THEN GET IN TOUCH NOW!
