Arnold Schwarzenegger left his trademark Hummer at home as he embarked on a cycle tour of Edinburgh.

Mr Schwarzenegger chatted with fans and took photographs as he cycled around the Scottish capital today.

The Hollywood star and former California governor is enjoying his first visit to Scotland after giving a talk to fans at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre last night.

However, according to Twitter, the Terminator star seemed to have misunderstood requests for selfies from excited fans.

The Hollywood star's Edinburgh talk was hosted by TV presenter Jenni Falconer. Guest reportedly included Susan Boyle and former X Factor star Nicholas McDonald.

The seven-time Mr Olympia winner, who has starred in iconic films including Terminator and Predator, will take over from US presidential hopeful Donald Trump as the host of the US version of The Apprentice later this year.
