City housing service gets best rating
The accolade comes after the Scottish Housing Regulator carried out an inspection earlier this year which saw the council awarded an A grade for housing management and a B grade for asset management and repairs.
An A grade for homelessness had previously been awarded, giving the council an AAB grading - the highest among Scotland 32 local authorities.

Hide AdCity Housing leader, Paul Edie, said: "These gradings are thoroughly deserved and our excellent staff should be congratulated.
"The regulators' assessment can be added to a number of other important results that services for communities has achieved: the number of tenants evicted from their homes is at a record low, homelessness has fallen for the fourth year running in spite of the dire economic circumstances and work is due to start on the first new Council homes for a generation.
"We are committed to providing tenants in Edinburgh with excellent housing services and here is independent proof that we are meeting that goal."
