Edinburgh have confirmed they will not continue to use Myreside as their home ground after taking up an option to end their deal.
The Guinness Pro14 club signed a three-year deal with George Watson's College to move to the 5,500 capacity stadium from Murrayfield in July 2017.

Edinburgh announced earlier this month that their remaining games this season would be moved back to Murrayfield, and they are now actively seeking a new permanent home.
A statement read: "Following a review of the partnership between Edinburgh Rugby and George Watson's College, it can be confirmed that Edinburgh Rugby has exercised its option not to continue using Myreside as the club's home venue.
"The club and the school have enjoyed a very positive relationship since first exploring the feasibility of moving Edinburgh matches to Myreside two years ago.
"Both sides look forward to continuing that co-operation in the future, with Myreside remaining a potential host venue for future Scottish Rugby representative matches such as the Scotland U20 match against England U20 which took place successfully last Friday.
"Edinburgh Rugby will now continue to develop its ambitious plans for a suitable home venue and will share this vision with supporters as soon as possible."
