May not stop the really determined after hours drunks, as they can always lean against the outside of the gates, but will probably stop the vast majority. </p> <p>It's really pleasant to use the stairs now, and they smell fresh as a daisy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3265#post-34236 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 11:11:21 +0000 chdot 34236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>More pix and details here -</p> <p><a href="http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2011/06/scotsman-steps-back-in-business" rel="nofollow">http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2011/06/scotsman-steps-back-in-business</a></p> <p>Will be shut at night. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3265#post-34235 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 10:24:50 +0000 wingpig 34235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hope the marble has been coated with some sort of protective film.
