Erin StreetEdinburghScotland
Kerry McDonaldEdinburghScotlandI was christened in the Canongate Kirk and my parents were married there, as were my grandparents before them. The communities of the old town have repeatedly been displaced by new developments over the past century. Leave the remaining community alone!

khin Thida GibbonsEdinburghScotlandIt is the Royal Mile - we need to keep whatever we got left noe.
Tom EllinghamEdinburghScotlandSave our heritage. The Old Town is residential and it works. Let's not knock down homes for hotels and 'luxury'. Edinburgh has a golden opportunity to keep what already works for later generations, and also develop dead space well. Lets do that carefully.
Michael John MartinMusselburghScotland
Gillian McLeanPolmontScotlandKeep Edinburgh for local people and familes. Don't make it a 'rich ghetto' for tourists, offices and rich incomers. That' s just ripping the heart and soul out of the city.

Livia DyckhoffEdinburghScotlandI particularly oppose the proposed offices on Jeffrey St and the street level building: I see so many tourists standing at that point taking photos of Calton hill: this would be very sad to lose that important view and the impact it has on the Old Town.
Ian McQueEdinburghUnited Kingdom
Frank GordonEdinburghUKthese plans are totally unsuitable for the area and look like any old development- not the first view many will have of Edinburgh's prime street/area. It creates job

Colin Fox MSPEdinburghScotlandI fully support the campaign
mary GordonEdinburghScotlandEdinburgh is awash with conference centres and hotels what it needs is people living and working in the centre of the town - if the people move out it will become a soulless space without life
jim johnsonedinburghscotlandthese 1930s flats form part of the canongate renewal deigned by Ebenezer MacRae the city architect from 1925-46. they are a good example of MacRae's work which continued the "conservative surgery" approach to renewal pioneered by Patrick Geddes in the Law

Christina DowellLadysmith BCCanadaPlease do not commit this unthinkable act of vandalism. It would be regretted forever. Surely there is a better solution than destroying an important part of Scottish heritage.
Heather DohertyNottsUK
Sally WilesHornseaEnglandA ludicrous idea. Whatever happened to listed buildings?
Georgia Clair KennettCremorne, VIC 3121AustraliaIt seems so crazy that you are considering this... people don't marvel at glass hotels unless they are in Vegas, people marvel at the Golden Mile, for it's age and wonder.... why would you even think of ruining such a treasure?
Carol CoullEast CalderScotland
Diana ShanksEdinburghUKIt's amazing. Some people aren't allowed to change the colour of their front doors and they want to destroy the Mile!

Miss Rebecca L. MeredithStourbridgeWest MidlandsI think it's truly shocking that the Scottish Parliament are more concerned in material matters, than they are about historical listed buildings!

Ross AndrewsRedditchUKPlease don't do this - it woulddestroy the character of one of Britain's greatest landmarks
Nigel BuchanEdinburghScotlandThe developer's masterplan lacks imagination. If realised, this would be a wasted opportunity for some 'Conservative Surgery' that could give the existing buildings a new lease of life.
Brenda Jennifer CowlingEdinburghScotlandI am a tourist Guide - the Royal Mile is a unique and fantastic place for our visitors - we must be very careful not to spoilt it.
Edith Jeanette CaulfieldTorontoCanadaThis is insanity at its worst...power is the greatest narcotic known to man and the people that want to do this are surely addicted

Katy MartinekEdinburghScotlandEdinburgh is a beautiful city and I don't want to see historic buildings destroyed to make way for ugly, boring hotels and conference centres - there are plenty of those already.
Helen ReesHoughton RegisUKStupidity abounds in politics at the moment and this is just another to add to the list. Maybe I should have said greed, rather than stupidity...
Mark Thomas HutchisonEdinburghEH1 1DRAt a time when Edinburgh's place in the U.K. and stature worldwide is only on the increase, in my view 'redevelopments' of the type currently before Council are abjectly contrary to the maintenance of the character and spirit of Edinburgh's Old Town..

Kate HunterEdinburgh Scotland
Sue CaselyEdinburghScotlandYou can see modern buildings anywhere. The Royal Mile is unique. It is not just the buildings but the formation of the street. Opening it up especially for a glass frontage and junction would lose that feeling of inimacy which is part of its charm.
Chris CaselyEdinburghScotlandHow can they push through this in what is meant to be a World Heritage Site??
