Edinburgh buildings: 12 historic Edinburgh buildings at risk of disappearing forever - including Leith Theatre

A number of sites across the city are deemed to be ‘at risk’ by heritage group

Edinburgh is famed for its abundance of historic buildings, but the city faces a constant battle to save listed structures that have fallen into disrepair.

Since 1990, the Buildings at Risk Register has been active in response to a concern at the growing number of listed buildings in Conservation Areas around Scotland had fallen into a state of disrepair.

The Register, managed by Historic Environment Scotland, aims to protect these buildings, many of which are at risk of being lost forever.

Take a look through our photo gallery to see 12 listed buildings in Edinburgh which have fallen into the “at risk” category and might not have a future.
