Historic Edinburgh building set to be redeveloped under new proposals

New plans could see a historic Edinburgh building completely transformed.

The red sandstone building at the bottom of Leith Walk was built in the 1930s. Developers hoped to build student halls and a hotel on the land, though this was scrapped when locals rallied against the proposals.
