An Edinburgh mum has called on developers to secure the site of a former hotel before local young people hurt themselves.
Lindsay Aitken, who has two teenage children and an eight-year-old, has shared images of the former Northfield House Hotel on Lasswade Road, which has been earmarked for a student accommodation development, in a state of disrepair.
The pictures show the building with several smashed windows and the grounds of the former hotel, which was frequented by locals regularly, filled with flytipped items including smashed up furniture.
