IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters

"PLANS to build one of the world's biggest ferris wheels in Edinburgh have taken a huge step forward after it emerged a deal has been struck on a site.
Great City Attractions - the company behind the world's biggest observational wheel in Singapore - has clinched a deal to build a similar structure at Edinburgh's waterfront."
pity they couldn't have buldozed the $*!7£hole parliament...
"Plans for the structure, which is expected to be ... labelled "Scotland's national wheel""
Dear God, what a name.
It's going to have a gigantic picture of Alex Salmond on the side, slowly revolving...
Will it be powered by wind or hot air?
Just what we need for...what do we need it for?
"It is understood that the wheel could be operational by as early as 2013 if the planning process goes smoothly. "
Oh, okay. Phew. It'll not happen in my lifetime then.
"could be operational by as early as 2013"
More wheels in Leith than the tram(?)
you'll get marvellous views of the chancelot mill from the top, apparently
I wonder if a "flight" on the wheel will be similar to the London Eye? Currently an eye-watering £18.90.
UPDATE: Or £29.70 if you want to skip the hour long queue!
Scotland's national wheel.
Yeah. Get it right up yae Falkirk. ours is the national wheel
"Scotland's notional wheel" might be more appropriate for the timebeing.
"you'll get marvellous views of the chancelot mill from the top, "
Would have been better if they'd left the old bit.
I DO think those silos are iconic . The way that they change colour with light/clouds is really inspiring (from a distance)
Maybe Leith is just trying to be more like Falkirk?
@cb - from reading the story I don't see any mention of the Scottish Parliament having anything to do with this
"I don't see any mention of the Scottish Parliament"
Fair point. You mentioned the parliament so can I blame you?
Blame the trams.
