Old Edinburgh Sick Kids hospital buildings half demolished in stunning new images

Work is continuing on the site of the old Edinburgh Sick Kids building, as new images show how much of the surrounding buildings have already been bulldozed to eventually make way for new flats.

Since the children's hospital moved to a new facility at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, work has begun on bringing down the old site, just opposite the meadows on Sylvan Place.

The huge building closed last year, having been operating at the same sight since 1895. Children up to the age of 13 could be referred to the hospital, and it also included an accident and emergency department.
