These 12 images show Haymarket’s former goods yard down the years

As a new vision for Haymarket’s former goods yard is unveiled, we take a look at how the vacant site has looked down the years and some of the previous plans for the site which never came to fruition.

M&G Real Estate has showcased initial plans for a £300 million development at the heart of Edinburgh’s financial and commercial centre which would feature huge office buildings, hotels, retail and leisure space and an urban square.
