Caltongate group makes plans
A CAMPAIGN taskforce has been set up to try to shape the future of the Caltongate development.
The taskforce, led by campaigners Save Our Old Town, wants to see empty buildings brought into use and landscaping of the vacant space left by the collapse of developers Mountgrange.
Plans for a five-star hotel and conference centre, 200 homes, office blocks and a public square are in serious doubt.
Sally Richardson, spokeswoman for the Save Our Old Town campaign, said: "Ideally, we'd like to take forward our own plans, particularly for buildings that are lying empty."
Architect James Simpson added: "Very few who care for the history, the architecture, the image and the long-term health of Edinburgh could fail to welcome the collapse of Mountgrange."
