Campus sale commended
Edinburgh University put the Summerhall campus on the market earlier this year as the school prepares to complete its gradual relocation to a facility south of the city at Easter Bush.
Council officials have been working with the university to draw up a development brief for the site. Dave Anderson, director of the council's city development department, said: "The university is to be commended for its approach to the disposal of the School and its engagement with the council, Historic Scotland and the community."
He added: "The council and Historic Scotland recognise that some interventions may be necessary in order to maintain viable alternative uses for the building."
