Big production values with drone shots and castle in background.<br /> Secondly used in 'Department Q' (Apple TV). Also big production values with drone shots and castle in background. This also featured the Golden Rule bar apparently. (I don't have Apple TV so only repeating from hearsay)<br /> Both should be retained indefinitely as filmic locations! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21911#post-385149 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:42:59 +0000 chdot 385149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/developers-set-out-plans-to-replace-edinburghs-argyle-house-with-homes-offices-and-hotel-8813041" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/developers-set-out-plans-to-replace-edinburghs-argyle-house-with-homes-offices-and-hotel-8813041</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21911#post-383741 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:15:30 +0000 bakky 383741@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Given that I use the Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route to get to Argyle House, do I win today's 'my working day is in jeopardy' forum topic award? ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21911#post-383740 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:26:05 +0000 chdot 383740@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“<br /> Argyle House in Castle Terrace meets the criteria for being designated a building “of special architectural or historic interest”, according to Scottish Government agency Historic Environment Scotland (HES). </p> <p>But it looks unlikely to be granted protection from proposed demolition because HES does not list buildings where a development proposal is already being advanced. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburghs-argyle-house-qualifies-for-listed-status-but-wont-get-it-because-development-plans-at-advanced-stage-6528678" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburghs-argyle-house-qualifies-for-listed-status-but-wont-get-it-because-development-plans-at-advanced-stage-6528678</a> </p>
