Description
Edinburgh's cityscape has undergone significant changes over the years. Several landmark buildings from the Georgian and Victorian eras were demolished in the 1960s, including those on Princes Street and at St James Square. These transformations have altered the appearance of the city forever. The removal of original tenements to make way for new developments has had a lasting impact on areas such as the Old Town. The demolition of the Caledonian Railway Company's Princes Street station terminal in 1965 left a significant gap-site that would take thirty years to fill. Bristo Street and the iconic Parkers department store, with its handsome Tudor frontage, were also swept away for the expansion of Edinburgh University. This book explores the many well-known buildings that are no longer part of the city's landscape, using words and pictures to capture their history and significance.
