Edinburgh’s Princes Street Fire Fallout | Edinburgh News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Edinburgh’s Princes Street is still reeling from a devastating fire that shut down a major stretch of the city’s main artery—disrupting trams, buses, and tourism right as festival season peaks. With repairs expected to take at least three more weeks, commuters and businesses are feeling the pinch, prompting the Scottish government to step in with potential financial aid. Echoing past support after Glasgow’s March blaze, officials are rallying around Edinburgh’s recovery, while historic elements like a Victorian staircase survived the flames. Trams now run only between the airport and Shandwick Place, and bus routes are being rerouted amid delays, as crews work weather-dependent efforts to reinforce the damaged facade.
