An Edinburgh gin company has been told to paint its colourful purple building to grey as it is "an offence to paint a listed building."
House Of Boe, in South Queensferry, have hit out at the decision made by Edinburgh Council after painting their headquarters purple and white earlier this year. Company Director Andrew Richardson said he was "shocked" and "upset" after receiving an enforcement order.
The council were forced to take action following an anonymous complaint made about the premises, reports the BBC. They stated that it is an offence to paint a listed building within a conservation area without consent.
