A busy pop-up beer garden in Edinburgh City Centre has been dealt another blow after a bid to overturn the council's decision to reject a three-year extension was thrown out.
The 'Festival Village' which sits on top of Waverley Market could soon be forced to close after councillors rejected plans for it to continue operating for the second time, with one saying it was 'not good enough for one of the number one cities in the world'.
Owners argued the bars, food stalls and associated seating areas set up on Princes Street brought economic benefits to the capital however, whilst also contributing to the "vibrancy and vitality of the city centre".
