Episode Details

Edinburghs historic landmark, a Category A listed building on Princes Street, was adorned with a massive KFC ad during repairs, violating planning rules. Despite being a temporary measure, the ad sparked outrage from locals and conservation groups, who fear it sets a precedent for commercialization of the citys heritage. The ad was later replaced by a Margot Robbie Chanel spot, further fueling concerns about the normalization of such ads in key locations. The council, after initial rejection, approved downlighting with Scottish Government intervention. The building is being transformed into shops and hotels, raising debates on balancing preservation and development.
