'Grab your friends and family and join us for a night to remember!'

What’s going on at No 62 Raeburn Place?

Only a few weeks after opening in the lavishly refurbished former premises of Corson’s the ironmongers, the Stockroom deli (‘for foodies by foodies’) suddenly and mysteriously shut up shop.  

No explanatory notice has been posted in the window, and some two months’ unopened mail piles up inside the front door.

Sunshine. Fanfare. Bar. Blooms.

KEY FEATURES AND FIRST THOUGHTS

Edinburgh Council has submitted plans for Phase 1 of a mixed housing development on the site of the former Powderhall Waste Transfer Station at 165 Broughton Rd (24/01596/FUL).

Below we summarise some of the principal features of what, at first glance, appears to be an attractive and well-conceived addition to Edinburgh’s housing stock.

Finally beginning to feel a bit like spring.

Canonmills Haugh or Loch may have been drained in 1847, but old habits die hard.

The hollow in which King George V Park and The Yard now nestle was formed in the last Ice Age, and, whether caused by natural or human influences, has been apt to fill up with water ever since.

Today, after what seems like weeks of continuous rain, the path connecting the Rodney Street Tunnel to Logan Street has flooded yet again.

Since yesterday, Dublin Street has been closed to road traffic between Dublin Street Lane North and Albany Street. Dublin Meuse is also closed at the Dublin Street end.

Both are likely to remain closed for the next 8 weeks while Scottish Water repair the sewer.

Failure of the sewer is thought to have been responsible for repeated subsidence in the carriageway. Contrary to local myth, a hole has not appeared in the former railway tunnel below.
