Iconic Edinburgh Scottish Widows offices set to turned into new flats and cafe

Plans to transform the abandoned former Scottish Widows buildings in Edinburgh into a mix of new office and residential accommodation are set to be granted.

The site, consisting of 12 hexagonal offices on Dalkeith Road, has been earmarked for redevelopment since its closure three years ago. As part of the plans, most of the iconic buildings will remain.

Five modules are set to be demolished within the site - with new office space, a café and a creche to be built. As well as the redevelopment of the historic buildings, 174 apartments are to be built fronting Arthur's Seat.
