Plans have been lodged to turn Strathmore House, on Church Hill, into a housing block consisting of six flats with the building having been disused for years after it stopped operating as a nursing home.
In February, Edinburgh Live reported how the mansion was listed for sale for a whopping £1.5million. Now, new images have been released by the applicant, Strathedin Properties Limited, showing the major transformation.
