Princes Street Fire Disrupts Leith | Edinburgh News
Description
A fire at the old Debenhams building on Princes Street has shut down trams to Leith, leaving businesses reeling as footfall plummets—some say 35%—and festival organizers scramble to relocate events. The historic site, now being converted into a hotel, remains fragile, with repairs taking weeks and work hampered by weather. While officials stress Edinburgh’s resilience ahead of August’s festivals, locals hope a “Leith is open” push can revive the area’s buzz.
