Miranda Dickson received a letter from officials last week ordering her to paint over her light pink door as it was not in keeping with the historical character of the buildings in Edinburgh's New Town. Edinburgh Council say the pink door should be painted a more appropriate colourCredit: Miranda Dickson/Instagram Miranda Dickson says her pink door brings her joy and happinessCredit: Miranda Dickson/Facebook The 48-year-old brand ambassador for Absolut Vodka was told she had to change the colour of the door to a more "suitable" colour. Miranda asked for clarification from the council about what colours she could choose from but said they were unable to advise her. She was left confused after spotting dozens of bright coloured doors around the surrounding streets of her home. However, the ultimatum is believed to have stemmed from a complaint from an anonymous resident nearby. Miranda now has just over a week left to lodge an appeal in order to save her pink door. Writing on social media, she said: "Aside from the fact that Georgians loved colour and pink was a colour worn and used way more frequently then, and its pale pink - not bright pink - the bottom line is it brings me joy and happiness at a time when things are a little grey and tough. "So many people stop and take photographs of it and tell me how much they love it and it makes they smile, it was just used in an Edinburgh Gin advert and it's on lots of Edinburgh Instagram accounts. "But because someone, who is anonymous, complained that they say my front door unsuitable for them, we are where we are, so I have ten days to lodge an appeal to save my pink front door." This post was met with support from hundreds of people from across the city who slammed the council for their decision. One person said: "OMG the clowncil strike again. How absolutely pointless. "I love the pink, I think it){kind=link}
