Description
A fire on Princes Street shut down six businesses, costing the Scottish Government nearly £2,000 daily in lost tax revenue — with Boots alone accounting for over £1,400. The blaze, sparked during renovations on July 8th, kept firefighters busy for 29 hours and has left the street closed into August, forcing bus reroutes, tram cuts, and chaos for incoming festival crowds. Locals and visitors alike are feeling the ripple effects as the city grapples with disruption, financial loss, and the lingering smoke of one unfortunate incident.
