Professor Richard Williams, of the History of Art department, said that nothing of any significance has been built in Scotland’s capital since the mid-19th century
DoCoMoMo at least disagrees.
Given that so much of the tenemented part of Edinburgh is post mid-19th century I do wonder how familiar he really is with the place and its buildings. Or maybe he's just one of these people who doesn't think anything good has happened anywhere in the world since the mid-19th century. Or perhaps he's made the mistake of speaking to the chipwrapper who've taken what he's said completely out of context and reported it in such a manner as to significantly change what he was saying.
