    The commencement of the final stages to demolish the Category B listed Imperial Dock grain elevator will likely be completed by summer 2021, say Leith Docks officials.

    Forth Ports say the removal of the industrial landmark, which will transform the Leith skyline, is part of a commitment to enhance its position in the offshore renewables market.

    Sad days for anyone who cares about skylines or listed buildings.

    Once again it highlights Forth Ports and its activities and the fact that port operators are actually allowed to do some things without normal planning processes (not saying that’s happening here.)

    Also it’s interesting the way they are now keen on ‘industry’ when recently they seemed more interested in flats.
