Top QC fights hotel project
A LEADING lawyer will be helping fight plans to create a huge new hotel next to Haymarket railway station.
John Campbell, QC, who led the probe into the Scottish Parliament building fiasco, has been hired by heritage campaigners trying to halt the 17-storey development at a public inquiry in May.
The 200 million project is planned by Irish developer Tiger, which says it will transform a neglected city centre site. It has hired another leading QC, Roy Martin, former dean of the Faculty of Advocates.
Moira Tasker, director of the Cockburn Association, one of the main objectors, said: "It's the height of the development that is the main concern for heritage groups."
