From the Hogmanay celebrations to the many festivals held over the summer months, Edinburgh’s cultural events attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Capital every year, adding millions of pounds to the city’s coffers.
While the the arts have had a tough time in the last few years, first with the pandemic and now with the cost of living crisis a range of buildings are in the pipeline to ensure Edinburgh continues to be a cultural Mecca in a post-Covid world.
Here we take a look at 10 of them, as featured on development website www.skyscrapercity.com.
