A multi-million pound Edinburgh Christmas market deal collapsed after 'difference of opinion', bosses have claimed.
The deal was between Edinburgh Council and a firm to run the event and is said to have fallen apart over a dispute about what could realistically be delivered. Councillors met in a last ditch attempt to save Edinburgh's Christmas - which comprises festive market stalls and amusements around the city centre - on Monday, October 10.
As reported by Edinburgh Live, they were told a last-minute agreement secured with a new company will see a slimmed-down festival delivered compared to the programme initially proposed.
